Had that happen, found 3 kittens in my batting. But I have an old pooltable as a base and put an 8x4 board on top as a cutting table. Ofcourse you can only do that in Hawaii and I have it in my Patio set up. I also use old Iceboxes for storage of materials ect. I like your room a lot, now I am trying to figure out how to make my OPEN patio like that! 0:)
