iPad cover (Downtown Mountain View)
Black case for iPad. Well used. This case has saved my iPad from countless falls on hardwood floors, concrete, tile with no scratches or cracks. I have never needed a screen replacement since getting this cover. The only reason I'm getting rid of it is that after 4 years, I thought I'd treat myself to a fun color. See photos for details. Edges are starting to peel, but case is still sturdy and works.

cat trees (Barron Park)
The commercial product is 5'11" tall. The cording on the lowest tier should be replaced, and the ladder needs to be anchored more securely. The DIY product is 4' tall and structurally sound, but the legs need re-upholstering, obviously. The box at the top is open on two sides; it's a popular place for watching through a window from, for a cat who likes a challenging climb.
