  • Take your light and check it out closely as some are different. 1
  • By the bulb you should see some small screws
  • Remove the screws and SLOWLY pull the pieces apart. You will then see a normal, everyday, single AA battery. Yep, that is what gets charged by the sun during the day so that it glows at night! 2
  • Change the battery out with a new one and...Let there be light! 2
  • Now, if you have a different type of light, say like this one from WalMart, with the globe on top, it gets even easier to replace the battery.
  • Kathe With An E~DIY Fix Your Solar Lights
Simply pull the stake out and you will see this on the globe end.
  • One single screw. Leave the three screws by the bulb alone.
  • And there is your battery. Change it out, put the screw back in and you are done!

Many of you have probably seen painted countertops around the web, however please check ours out! They literally look like granite, and we did not use a store bought kit! The secret is in ...»
the top coat that we used, it is equal to 50 coats of varnish. The result was super shiny hard as rock reflective and gorgeous! To see our full tutorial please check out the blog:

Luxury Farmhouse Chic Kitchen

This Atlanta kitchen remains one of our favorites. It was designed for multiple chefs to cook at the same time as the kids sit at the island and do their homework! ...»

Maple perimeter cabinets, painted white with a brown glaze, and a Cherry island with a medium black glaze and distressing. This kitchen is fairly unique among AK kitchens as the countertops are NOT granite - they are Carmel Caesar Stone! The new kitchen also includes a Wolf Duel Fuel range which is simply fantastic! The Pendant lights are rise & fall so they can be adjusted when less or more light is needed.

Check out each picture for Lots of product details!
