WOULD HAVE BETTER LUCK HANDLING THESE PLIERS.

AFTER A FEW SETBACKS, WE'RE KIND OF GETTING OUR GROOVE ON,

D WE'RE MAKING SOME REAL PROGRESS.

August: MOM, ON A SCALE FROM ONE TO SCREWED UP,

HOW'S YOUR HAND?

YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT AS SCREWED UP AS IT COULD BE.

YEAH.

BUT IT'S SO PURPLE THAT IT MAKES ME WONDER

IF IBROKTHE NE IN TRE OSOMEING.

OH, GOD.

WE'VE GOT THE SIDE SCREENED IN.

WE'RE WORKING ON THE FRONT PANELS, E DOORS,

AND IT'S SLAMMING TOGETHER PRETTY WELL NOW,

SO WE'RE ON A ROLL,

AND WE'VE GOT THIS THING ALMOST WHIPPED INTO SHAPE.

WE'RE GONNA D'S OVE-NGE CHNIE.

HAVE YOU DONE THIS BEFORE? -NO, I HAVEN'T.

OH, BECAUSE I'VE DONE THIS WITH DAD.

IT'S REALLY CREEPY.

OH, GOD.

OH, GOD. -ISN'T IT HORRIBLE?

JUST KEEP GOING.

ISN'T THAT CREEPY?

THAT'S REALLY GROSS, MOM.

BUT, YOU KNOW, THE HINGES THAT WE'VE MADE LIKE THIS

HAVE LASTED REALLY WELL.

WE'RE USING THE OTTO KILCHER

OVE-NGE CHNIE ON OUR DOORS.

TAKE THAT.

WE'VE BEEN SAVING OLD LEATHER GLOVES FOR HINGES ON THE DOORS,

AND THERE'S A CERTAIN SATISFACTION

IN POUNDING THE NAIL THROUGH THE FINGER OF THE GLOVE.

HA HA HA.

DO YOU WANT TO DO ONE? -YEAH, I DO.

-COME DO ONE. -I DO.

-IT'S REALLY FUNNY. -OH, GOD.

...ESPECIALLY AFTER AUGUST POUNDED MY FINGER.

OH, GOD. OH, GOD.

ISN'T IT CREEPY?

August: IT'S REALLY IRKING DRIVING NAILS

THROUGH THESE FINGERS ON THE GLOVES,

BUT, WELL, AS WE FOUND OUT TODAY,

IF THERE'S ONE THING I'M GOOD AT, IT'S HITTING FINGERS, SO...

[ HAMMER POUNDING ]

ALL RIGHT.

SO LET'S PUT THAT UP

AND NAIL THE LITTLE WRISTS.

EW. LITTLE BITCH.

-THERE LKINGOOD. -ALLIGHT

DOORS ARE ON.

SO I THINK, BEFORE WE PUT THIS FRONT PANEL ON,

WE SHOULD GET THAT HORRIBLE OLD COUCH AND PUT IT IN HERE.

THAT THING IS SO GROSS.

IT'S SO GROSS, BUT IT'S PERFECT FOR THE CATS.

I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT.

LET'GO GRAB IT.

WE'VE GOT THE WHOLE CAGE BUILT, AND NOW WE NEED TO FURNISH IT.

OKAY. -STEP UP.

OKAY, AND THE TWIST.

Charlotte: THE TWIST. OOPS.

-THE TWIST. -I CHANGED CLOTHES.

I GOT A BEARD.

MY IDEA IS TO MAKE IT LIKE A LIVING ROOM

BECAUSE I WANT TO HANG OUT THERE WITH THE CATS.

[ LAUGHING ]

OH, IT'S HORRIBLE!

-THAT'S REALLY GROSS. -IT'S HORRIBLE.

WE'VE GOT THE FURNITURE IN THE CATIO.

NOW ALL WE HAVE TO FINISH UP WITH IS PUTTING ON THE SCREEN,

AND THEN WE'RE LOOKING REAL PRETTY.

HA-HA, YOU LITTLE CATS.

I LOVE WORKING WITH AUGUST.

[ MOTOR WHIRRING ]

I FEEL LIKE WE MADE A REALLY NICE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT

TOGETHER.

NICE.

AND, HEY, I THINK WE DID A REALLY GOOD JOB.

LOOK AT HOW NICE IS I AUGT.

I KNOW. IT'S TURNED OUT SO GREAT.

I CAN HARDLY BVE I IT SO ESOM

OKAY. -YOU READY?

CATS, GUESS WHAT.

YOU'RE TRAPPED.

YOU'RE TRAPPED IN HERE.

[ CATS MEOWING ]

COUCH, BUDDY.

[ CHUCKLES ]

OH, SHE'S SO READY TO EXPLORE.

-I KNOW. -SHE'S SO READY TO EXPLORE.

THEY'RE JUST READY TO ESCAPE.

OH, GOD, THEY'RE GONNA BE SO SHOCKED.

GUESS WHAT, GUS.

Charlotte: IT IS SO COOL

JUSBE HGINGUT WITH THE CATS IN THE CATIO.

THERE'S JUST NOTHING BETTER THAN HAVING A CAT IN YOUR LAP,

JUST KICKING BACK.

IS THERE ANY WAY OUT?

IS THERE ANY POSSIBLE WAY OUT?

August: MY MOM AND I ARE THINKING

OF STARTING A CARPENTRY BUSINESS.

IT'LL BE AUGUST AND CHARLOTTE'S SHODDY CARPENT.

WE'RE VERY AMATEUR,

BUT I THINK THAT'S KIND OF OUR SELLING POINT.

AUGUST, WE ROCKED IT. OOH.

I CAN'T REALLY HIGH-FIVE WITH THAT HAND.

[ LAUGHTER ]

Charlotte: NOW I CAN BE A GUILT-FREE CAT OWNER.

IT'S A HUGE WEIGHT OFF MY SHOULDERS

TO THINK THAT MY CATS AREN'T GONNA KILL THE BABY BIRDS.

YOU'RE A COUCHOTAT H?

LOOK AT THE MAD CATS.

COME ON, KITTENS.
