CR, I'm bawling my head off. That is so sad. Strength for you to get through this time. Sorry you didn't get to see him. That must be heart breaking. His wife should have told you about his illness but she may have been overwhelmed.

or perhaps she was in denial == "if I don't talk about it, it isn't happening" ...

anyway, hugs to you ---

Not sure if these will work for those who want to build their own..............

What I like best about my litter robot is you can use any bag - grocery sack, whatever; and it uses very little liiter. Eventually, it is going to pay for itself. I think the problems I have been having recently have to do with overfilling it as well. (That and a cat that turns into a chicken when it sees it start to rotate)

not quite -- it's a 3-pan litter box

two solid pans -- and one that has a plastic mesh bottom

all three nest together with the mesh bottom one on top

lift that when you need to scoop litter, the relatively clean litter falls through, the clumps stay

dump the mesh bottom one wherever you dump used litter

then, separate the two solid pans --- put the mesh bottom one (freshly cleaned ?) inside the pan that was on the bottom (also clean)

dump the relatively clean litter from the pan it filtered into --- into the pan with the mesh bottom, which is inside the other solid one



rinse that solid one you just dumped out, and put it on the bottom of the stack, then put the privacy cover back on the whole shebang

not mechanized, just easy -- no manual scooping, and far less dust

Hmm, I have seen that before. Glad it works for you. We bought the Litter Robot 3? 4? years ago, it's the best. I do occasionally have it angry nowadays, usually when I overfill the litter but has been way better than any other auto litterbox I've ever had (the stupid rake ones are the worst). Yours is likely MUCH less expensive than the Litter Robot.

When we built our house, we had our builder build one for us - he bought the springs, but we found many of the kit parts looked ugly, so he built a base that we rest it on when it is open, and when we have it up in the wall, it stores underneath and looks like a drawer. No ugly brass legs on my cabinet that look odd when the bed is up. Ours is nice - I love the thing - it is in our livingroom/library/guestroom. Vey convenient - unexpected guests, just pull down the handle and instant bed, already made up! I'll see if I can find a camera and take photos to show what we did in place of the legs.
 
the legs of the Murphy bed in our small timeshare condo, flip up so that they don't show when the bed is stowed on the wall

those legs are arched .. so if you put the two of them side by side, they'd form a heart shape .. if you can visualize that

when it's tilted up, all you see is the white wood that is on the "bottom" of it, and the framed picture which is permanently attached to that -- on either side is a set of shelves and drawers which look as much like bookcases as they do like bedside storage

some people have built Murphy beds using pulleys and cordage, rather than springs -- I believe it was quite a few years back in Sunset magazine, that I saw these -- of course there would have to be some sort of lock or secure mechanism so it wouldn't unfold unexpectedly
