I've watched several videos, and this is the best one! Because the winters can get into the negatives, I wanted to add a solar panel heating pad. Is that possible? I think this was well with it. :) I can't wait to start building. :)
Thanks Logan! Our channel is only 3 days old. :) The first season of Maker Break was on Belts and Boxes, which is 56k. It's going to be a long hard road back up, but we're confident we'll get there! Thanks for watching and for the compliment!
Felines love boxes or places that are dead silent and devoid of outside smells.... They also love to perch to see the entire area which is why you often see them climbing the tallest trees...they can get down....but wouldn't you rather be carried by a nice warm human than walking 🤣
Scott is one of our favorites. He was kind enough to let us interview him for a Meet a Maker segment on an episode from Season 1. Throughout this coming year, we'll be interviewing NEW makers, but also re-editing the previous interviews into separate videos, giving us the chance to show more of their responses. Some makers sent us 15 minutes + of footage, but we had to edit it down for the show. This time we can show you the whole thing! So make sure you're subscribed!
Hello, I stumbled upon your site while searching for plans to build an outdoor insulated cathouse. This is going to be my first attempt doing something of this nature and I was wondering if you guys had written out instructions - IE: what size cuts, how many, etc etc. I did watch the video, but I do well with written instructions. Hoping you do so I can make one for the strays I've seen in my yard this winter. Thank you!
Can kitty get on the roof if it? That would be amazing because they like to perch up high. Love the idea of the solar and warming pad, then in the summer, kitty could enjoy a bladeless fan. You should sell these. I'd buy for my feral colony.
Considering I'm subscribed to nearly 750 channels, I have quite the list. But I would go with Alec Steele, Wood By Wright, Matt Estlea, Bruce Ulrich, and though I haven't posted in quite some time, I am in the process of working on some new projects and will have some new videos hopefully soon, so I'd love to be on your list as well! :) Love the Cat tower.
@@MakerBreak I'll do you proud, I've got several projects in the works coming up, but I do have a dozen or so already up from a couple years ago. I hope you enjoy!
Great job guys good luck on the new channel, so need some channels eh? Ave, John Melicki's channel, Wood working for mere mortals, VCG construction, Tool Review Zone, Trent and Allie, Nomadic Movement, Man Caver Tools, Den of Tools, Tool Boss, My self Reliance, Scott Brown Carpentry. Phew, I got more if you need them!
Why would your cat be in a box when it's hot? A cat house like this is literally for keeping them warm during the cold months. During the summer, Murder Cloud often sleeps on the top where the roof gives him shade.

We're so glad you liked it Donayre! That was actually a fairly long one for us. :) If you subscribe, you'll see that we post at least 2 shows a week, and we're working on more! Every Tuesday You'll either get an episode of Sarah's Top 5 DIY, or Meet a Maker, where we interview some really awesome makers!
Nice house. Great name for a cat :). Hopefully the animal nazis won’t knock on your door for having that cat outside. People forget cats grow a nice warm fuzzy layer of for it cold weather. They stay cozy. Live confidently and peacefully
Thanks, and you're right. Murder Cloud has lived his whole 12 year life outside. He's out in the woods every day, he hunts all kinds of animals, and he EATS them when he catches them. :) That's rare of course, and we feed him cat food daily. Something a lot of people don't realize is that if a cat is exposed to enough sunlight daily, their system realizes when the sun goes down early (the Fall) and they start to grow an "Undercoat". It's a layer of short hairs that keep the cat warm. It's the sunlight that triggers this behavior, not the temperature, which is why indoor cats do the same thing if they live in a house with a lot of sunlight. Crazy right? Murder Cloud has slept through 10-degree weather and didn't have a problem. He's always had a place to sleep that's layered in Straw, which helps him retain heat through the night. This new house I built is FAR better insulated, and I'm adding a heating pad that will help with the REALLY cold nights.
We certainly can, and do. But he doesn't always want to come in. He was born out there, and he likes the outdoors. We did end up adding a heated mat that keeps his condo nice and warm through the really cold months. He's got it pretty good no matter where he wants to be.

@@xof-woodworkinghobbyist We've tried that. It's not only a lot of work producing the plans, but it inevitably leads to a lot of questions that have to be answered. We produce 4-8 videos a week between Maker Break and Belts & Boxes, which is a LOT for a team of 3. So plans just are not high on our priority list at the moment. Often I design our projects in Sketchup, and I'll gladly share the Sketchup files when people request them. You can open and edit them in the free version of Sketchup, but you still have to know how to do that.
