I lined the top of the food station with the tape, then used a small foam brush to paint the edges in the bright yellow paint (Lemon Zest by Behr). Never having used ScotchBlue tape before, I put all my faith in it by really going for it. (Below, you’ll see what the bottom of our tray looks like.) Once it was good and sturdy (and boy, is it!) we used more of the same drywall screws to install our hairpin legs. We tightened the existing screws and added a handful more – again, using the Kreg jig kit – to really pull everything together. I used a sanding block to smooth out any rough edges, and I followed that up with our power mouse sander to get rid of large splinters and (mostly) even everything out. This would allow the lip of the food and water bowl to rest on top of the tray, while the remainder of the bowls would sit below the surface. … used a jig saw to cut out each circle just inside the line. We used our measuring tape to make sure they were floating evenly within the tray, then we… Once we had this, we took our food bowls and traced around the outside, mostly eyeballing the placement. This will be the tray part of the food station.
Using our Kreg jig kit, we installed 4″ drywall screws on the ends and middle of each of the 3 pieces, creating one solid base. WHAT WE DID: We scavenged for a good looking leftover stud, and started by cutting it into 3 equal 22″ sections.

(In addition to his new yard, front porch and all day naps, this is just what he needs, right?) So while we’ve only just unpacked our plates and coffee mugs, we’ve taken the time to create a totally necessary pet food station for our main man. Unfortunately for us, the normalcy isn’t too close in our future, but fortunately for our spoiled, pampered (loved to bits) pup, we’ve squeezed in a mini project to enhance his every day routine. If there’s one thing we could use around here, it’s a simple project (the most satisfying) and a teensy bit of normalcy.
Congrats to Diana C, and thank you to all who participated!
