Make a Kitty Tower out of Plastic Storage Totes

If you are a cat owner, then you know how cats can get into your things and jump on countertops, tables, and more. Some days, it seems as if cats will do almost anything for attention. When you are busy trying to work from home, complete household chores, or simply relaxing with a good book or watching a show, you do not want to constantly be bothered by your cat. We have the solution. Build a cat tower or condo with plastic storage totes. Your furry friend is sure to be excited about gaining a new toy that he can climb on and explore. The best part is you won’t have to yell at him to get down like you do when he jumps on your kitchen table.

Keep your kitty off the table by creating a tower with plastic storage totes for him. 


 In this blog, we will give step-by-step instructions on how to create such a thing. Prepare to have more time to yourself while your furry friend is entertained by climbing onto and inside of plastic storage totes.

Acquire plastic storage totes. We recommend nine to make the cat tower high enough for your feline to enjoy. Place three totes on the floor side-by-side and with the opening facing you. Place three more on top and the other three on top again. So, you will have three tower levels. You should use glue or adhesive to ensure the totes stick together. You want them to be secure before your kitty goes leaping.

Placing a small cut of old carpet or maybe a rug in each plastic tote can make the tower comfortable for your furry friend. Your cat might think he has landed his very own kitty castle! You are likely to find him sleeping in this tower. He will probably also sit up high to watch what happens throughout the day. Cats like to be privy to what is going on as often as possible.

We recommend choosing a spot up against a wall, for example in your basement or in the back area of your living room, for the kitty tower. In addition to using adhesive, leaning against a bare wall will make the tower sturdier.

Starting your Garden Using Clear Plastic Storage Totes

It is late April and the weather is still pretty erratic here in North Central Ohio. Last week, we had about 3 inches of snow fall in the morning and by the afternoon it was all melted. Then it hit 60 degrees the next day, and the day after we had crazy wind. If there is one thing that stable, it is that the weather and temperature here are very unstable! With wild weather like this, many gardeners like to start their gardens before outside planting can actually happen so that the tender sprouts will not get ruined with an unexpected late April or early May frost. We were doing a little Pinterest browsing and came across the idea of using clear plastic totes as greenhouses for those small seedlings, so we are going to give you a how-to on getting your garden started using the not-so-crazy idea of making a plastic storage tote into a greenhouse. Here is what you will need: Small seedling containers Soil Seeds Clear plastic storage totes with clear lids First, the plastic to...

Organizing Your Kids' Toys

Any parent knows this struggle. Well-meaning and generous grandparents and relatives lavish gifts upon your beloved children. These children, surrounded by plenty, ignore most of the toys. The ones that are played with are left out, making your house look cluttered, or worse, to be stepped on by an unsuspecting foot in the middle of the night. You could do the normal thing of just shoving them into a toy box following the old adage: "Out of sight, out of mind." The problem with that is that your kids won't be able to find pieces and parts of things and then toys will get neglected, devaluing the generosity of those who gave the toy to them. How do you take control of this chaos? The easy answer? Organization. The tough part? Actually doing it. So let's get started! 1. (This will be painful😂) Get all of the toys out of whatever containers, boxes, nooks and crannies they are hiding in, and put them in a central location. Have room to spread out. 2. Find the tra...

Plastic Totes or Hamster Palace?

Do you find yourself sympathizing for your small pets, such as hamsters or gerbils, because of the small cages that are sold at pet stores? Well you could create your own habitat for your tiny companion through customizing plastic storage totes along with the use of tubes, wire cage pieces and a few other tools.  To start making a large home for your pet you will need to decide how big you want to make the habitat, which will determine how many totes you need. If you go for the multi-level style of home, you will need to cut out holes in the top and bottoms of the totes so that the animals can travel in the tubes between each tote. You will also need to cut holes to put in wire screens for ventilation, which you can also then use these holes for the access doors and a place for the water dispenser. The amount of space and access to other levels of the palace are really up to you as the designer, but there are lots of options when it comes to this, just make sure that there is am...
