styrofoam shelter

So yesterday after work I decided I would try to make a shelter. This is what I wanted to make for the ferals that use my garage for the winter. I used an old laundry basket and 1 inch thick styrofoam. This is what it came out like. I have a sleeve from a fur coat (thanks Chris!) in the bottom for snuggling into. I was going to put something down for a doorflap but figure that the cats won't like being completely closed in. This way they can still watch for "predators". Turned out pretty neat I think.
Cost of laundry basket - free but you can get them cheap.
Cost of styrofoam - $8.50 and you get enough to make 3 shelters. Not bad. Will work well in spots where there is no wind.
