I am so excited. It was finished today and is wonderful. It has a double door, although I have to reinforce the inside one. We built it for Schofield, who is a little too wild for us to take inside but not so wild that he doesn't want loving. After I trapped him and had him fixed, he stayed with us (in our recuperation shed) for two weeks. When I let him go, he came and went for the next two weeks, then decided the little Rubbermaid house I'd made was ideal for his purposes. He still goes somewhere else during the day (or if we have activity - like the enclosure being built!)
My husband and I decided we'd see if he was happy in there, as we worry about what he's up to when he's not on our patio. We live on a heavily traveled road and I can't stand the idea of him being hit. I have asked around the neighborhood and no one else claims him, so we are going to try to keep him safe in the enclosure. Our only worry is that he has friends he likes to visit and that he may get lonely in there all by himself. We're going to play that by ear.
Just wanted to share. I wish I could bring him in but we already have six rescues inside and there's just no more room! This was expensive but a lot cheaper than adding on a room! The little red barn is actually a chick coop - there's a small door at the back, a big window for ventilation and the side pokes out where the nests are - perfect bed for Schofield. He's already been sleeping in it but abandoned it for the Rubbermaid house, which I plan to move into the enclosure, too.
