hey dad, how good are you at making things with wood? like boxes or nailing stuff together theres a guy who wants to try new things and we talked about making a cat post
[ never thought he would be texting his dad about making a cat post but here we are?? ]
[There is a moment where Johnny gives a thousand yard stare as he thinks back to his days doing contract work.
It wasn't exactly the best but he certainly knew how to fumble his way through a project or two.]
I know a thing or two. I wouldn't call myself an expert or anything but I know enough to get by and do home repairs. Making something like that shouldn't be too hard.
[Robby might be surprised what Johnny "You think changing the locks would stop me?" Lawrence would appreciate.]
That's still something. I know people out there that can't even manage that.
Yeah. We're not going anything complicated. I think I've got some old carpet upstairs that we can use over twine. Not really something you want to be stepping on anymore but a cat would probably love it.
yeah sure. does it need a clean? prob should if its old. ill let sunny do that
[ call it an everyday life lesson, whatever. Not his cat. ]
anyway thanks i might do some stuff later for me. i wannna put some shelves up in one of the rooms but im still thinking about it. i dont want to make a mess and i dont know what tools they have here? do drills exist
[ Maybe?? In one of the weird shit stores that have random lunar/electrical-powered items?? ]

[ More like how to take them apart to break into shit, but dad wouldn't appreciate that. ]
but its just twine around wood right? cant be hard
just hammer in a base and top with some nails and then sand down the edges?
wrap the twine around the base?
