A Little Construction Advice


A few weeks ago, construction began on our house as we had a few windows replaced.
Some kitties wisely decided to retreat from all the loud noise and chaos.

And then there's Maxwell.

Part I: Deconstruction
  
Maxwell: ... and after you remove that one, there's another storm window over here ....
 

Maxwell: Ah, yes. Very good. Very good.


Maxwell: Dood, I think you missed a screw. No, down here, in this corner ....


Maxwell: Yeah, that's the ticket. Now, after you remove that one ....


The crew was entertained by Maxie's "dedication" to the project!

We'll show you the "after" photos soon.

  2. Hahahaha. One time the lawn care people were doing something right in front of our bedroom window ... all of a sudden, I hear one of the guys cursing about "that damn cat who's watching everything." Yep. That's right. You steal his rosebush (the one he likes to hide behind in the garden when he escapes and doesn't want me to catch him) and there's going to be hell to pay!

  6. Maxie and my engineer-cat Mr. Sunshine have much in common when it comes to supervising work done on the house, including the man cutting up the old cast-iron tub with a Sawzall because it was the only way to get it through the door. He also steals my tools when I'm working on projects or framing.

  17. Excellent snoopervising. You can't watch those guys too carefully. And also inneresting because TBT is thinking of doing the same thing. Our original cheap windows are 30 years old and he can't even open some of them.

  18. We went through that process in 2007, and replaced all the windows. It was fun to make sure the furs were in the room where the workers were not, MOL!

    In days gone by other of our angel kitties would have been like Maxwell...they were right in the tool boxes if they had access:)

  19. Meowy good job, Maxwell. I have to watch my mommy all the time to make sure she's not messing up the house again.
    "Charles, I didn't mess up the house...it was a fire, remember? Now, we have all this space and you have lots of room to spread out."
    Sure, Mommy.

  20. Haha! These photos remind me my mom's cat lady. She was really sociable and when we had loggia renovation she was staring at worker. He really liked her and sometimes he played with her through the closed window, she tried to catch his finger :P It looked really funny :)
