Repurposed / Upcycled Custom Metal Birdhouse from Blue Coffee Pot & Silverware

Here's my lastest custom repurposed birdhouse. I had planned to go nuts with ornamenting it with vintage silverplate utensils. I think I achieved it! Haha. I started with the vintage blue ...»

Plant 51 Flower Bulbs at the Speed of Light

Yesterday it was again unseasonably warm here in Pittsburgh and I decided to plant tulip & allium bulbs. ...»

The problem was that Saturdays are always super busy for us. So I decided to use my brain for once and get this done quickly. I used my impact drill/driver and a tri-fluted speedbor bit to literally drill holes in the ground.

You could use a spade bit, too. I was able to get all 51 bulbs in the ground in less than 30 minutes. Which helped me save time and do more laundry, LOL.

I put together a few extra tips in the blog post which you can find here http://www.homerepairtutor.com/how-to-quickl...

Let me know if you have any other fall gardening or landscaping tips. I'm always on the lookout for great ideas.

Starting seedlings in eggshells

Not egg cartons, but egg shells. Spring planting will be here before we know it (the days are already getting longer again, hooray) and I came across the most interesting idea for planting seedlings. I have planted seedlings in egg cartons, then "planted" the carton with seedling, but it never occurred to me to actually plant in empty eggshells. To give credit where due, I stole this idea and picture from this blog:

Pallet Coffee Table

There is nothing fancy about this coffee table. It is simply a pallet cut in half with a couple planks across the top. A bit of white spray paint helps give it a beachy look and seal the wood. Simple, inexpensive, and effective!

  • This little junk styled coffee table is the perfect fit for our living room.
  • This pallet had straight nails so it was a breeze to take apart with a hammer and crowbar. The wood then received a good sanding and dry fit after the pieces were cut.
  • The entire build was mounted with screws, starting with predrilled holes. Trust me when I say, predrilling holes is the answer to an effortless build.
  • And now for the fun part! Gotta junk it up.
  • Support beams never looked so... junky. :)
  • Pallet wood has never been so productive. :)

myself) will have no issue with this one.
