That is a right handsome project. Well done.
After I built a sandbox for our first born I pulled out the few Matchbox cars I had left a and we had a blast. It became a relatively cheap hobby for the two of us, hunting 'daily drivers' in junk stores.

Kinda what I was thinking, poor kitty's out of luck now, nothing ruins a good day of hunting like having to go inside for a crap

I would put some blocks on the sides as stops for the back of the "seats" so the hinges last longer. Or like a full around molding to do the same thing.
But that's just me. Looks rad man.

Looks good.
If you leave the cover off over night you should have almond roca by morning.

Looks similar to the one I saw on the Weather channel a few years ago. I believe theirs was a Home Depot kit.

| Great job Dave. My son loved his sandbox when he was that age. I'm sure it will get lots of use. Now get in there and play with them. |
