5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE this book!!, January 25, 2008
This review is from: Black & Decker 24 Weekend Projects for Pets: Dog Houses, Cat Trees, Rabbit Hutches & More (Paperback)
If I'd had this book when I built my first 2 cat trees they would've been MUCH improved!! For me, the beauty of this book isn't so much the projects themselves but the techniques, such as cutting a block to fit inside a length of PVC pipe so that legs can be securely mounted to the base, or building a miter box to cut said pipes squarely. I have to say, though, I can't wait to try the window sill cat bed!!

If you have elderly or disabled critters you should note that one of the projects is a carpeted vehicle ramp, and instructions allow you to customize it to the height of your vehicle.

1.0 out of 5 stars Hard to follow, missing information, and wrong directions., November 19, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Black & Decker 24 Weekend Projects for Pets: Dog Houses, Cat Trees, Rabbit Hutches & More (Paperback)
This is the most poorly written project book I have ever seen. We had to make repeated trips to the hardware store for more parts because of the poor instructions and missing information. There is no accurate shopping list. Other building instructions and photos are unclear. We would have done better looking at a finshed photo and guessing on how to build the project. Pass this book by.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this book!!!!, February 27, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This book is great! My husband and I have no experience in the home improvement or construction areas. This book was amazing. It lists the tools you will need for the projects in the beginning. Then for each project it lists the materials required. Each project is written step by step in an easy to follow format. It is easy to alter the directions to fit your space requirements in your home. There is even conversion charts in the back. Compared to chemistry lab, these projects were easy. I suggest them to any pet owner wanting to save a few bucks and have the pride to say "I built that". I wish there was a sequel.
