wow the production is great for such a small channel. GJ
Thanks! We have a great team. Great timing on the comment, our new video is posting this weekend. I personally added a lot of effects on the new one and hope you will check it out.
Gerudo valley from the ocarina of time soundtrack. My kiddo even yelled it from the other room. He knows this as his mother before him. Thank you for the information. Im gonna build my own. Thank you
Absolutely love that the kiddo caught it! My daughter knows it too. Feel free to reach out with any questions. Thanks to this comment, I'll be dropping off some extra cat things at the local shelter this week. 🤘
@@TheCraftyCatsman my cats and kiddo loving cat appreciate this. Thank you for any advice. I've subscribed and look forward to future projects! (We just got our first home last year and have a few rooms to make our own. Thank you for any projects and insights). Keep up the awesome channel. We'll keep watching.
What a great video! You're really good at editing! Keep it up
Thanks! We have a whole lot more to content to bring here :) I can't take credit for editing, I had some very talented help on that. I find odd places for secret rooms everywhere, like this closet: thecraftycatsman.com/100-diy-budget-closet-makeover-gardeners-edition/
I purchased a Murphy Door wine cabinet door. If I had to do it over again I would have been better off having someone build one locally out of wood veneered plywood rather than veneered MDF. MDF is heavier than plywood so it’s already stacking against the weight limit of the hinge. It’s also not as strong as plywood. One mistake pulling the door off the hinge and it split the MDF base, and now I have to completely remake the door myself. All that money and shipping wasted.
Such a good point about MDF, thanks for bringing it up - I built our door out of Plywood. I've taken it off the hinge about a dozen times over the years and thankfully it's still going strong.
@@TheCraftyCatsmanI had to remove the catch pin on the bottom along with the receiver because the door is sagging now under no weight. I had to put a 125lb load gate caster on the back side opposite the hinge just so I can operate it until I build the new door myself.
I think we need a tour 🙌
Stay Tuned 👍
Surprised I haven’t seen this yet but Gerudo Valley 😂
FINALLY!! Now I have an excuse to go and donate some toys 🤘🤘
The song is Gerudo Valley by Koji Kondo for Ocarina of Time, now entertain those cats
Wait until you see the video of the dual Catio with a secret tunnel.
Important update: The new code is CRAFTY10, this gets you 10% off of your entire order. Murphy Door is changing around their referral program, apologies for any confusion!
I like all the info your provide. This will help us as we want to build one. Thank you!
Thanks for taking the time to comment! Feel free to reach out with any questions.
TLL. I like that 👍🏼 ❤
Going to be honest here. I thought Gordo Valley but remember Gordo is not the right word. I did google it afterwards but trust me I know that song.
Does your link still work?
Unfortunately, not at the moment. Murphy Door was too overwhelmed with some changes and we agreed to pause things for a few months until all is sorted. Feel free to let them know that I sent you and they may still honor the discount!
First one to spot the spelling mistake wins a cheese pizza
Assitent, Assistant, uncle!
Its French..maybe - let's just roll with it. I guess it will be Pepperoni??@@jamescarragher-bj2zo
@thecraftycatsman8300 you know it!
Gerudo Valley Ocarina of time
Thanks! I am going to add another Cat Donation to the next drop-off. Keep an eye out, new video is coming within a few days.
Corny but addictive lol
I'll take it! Aiming for less corny on the next one, virtual pinball machine is next!
