Genius is my middle name ;o)

Things are getting a bit desperate with the slowly crumbling door. Another piece of glass has fallen out making it a double cat flap, ha ha, and the bottom has completely dropped off. I need to do something about it before I go on my walking/biking/hostelling/camping holiday, as I don't think I'm going to find a replacement in just over a week.

Take three pieces of wood from dismantled pallets. Nail/screw them together in a 'u' shape. Started screwing but it was hard work, quicker to bash a few nails in.

Screw this to the outside of the door. Had to screw because one bash with the hammer would have broken off the remaining bits which I needed to attach this to, and probably the whole door would have come crashing down, ha ha.

Then screw another slightly shorter piece to the inside of the new bottom, between the two uprights. Now what am I going to put in that new bigger hole? Bingo, found something the exact size. Amazing, no adjustments needed, a perfect fit.

Just need to cut the cat flap out with a stanley knife. An old plastic lid from a plastic box, which has since broken up and gone off in the dustcart.

Some tape round the edges so pussies don't hurt their feet, and four screws to hold it in place on the inside. I won't show you a pic of the inside, it looks a bit messy, but what the heck, only me to see it, and it will give me a bit more time to look for another door. Brilliant, eh!
