Plumbing: HELP!! We have an outdoor water faucet that is leaking terribly. We tried getting a new hose thinking that was it.

We tried removing the piece seen at the bottom of the faucet since it is leaking from the top of that piece. It would not unscrew,it would not tighten- actually sprayed more when ...»

Turn a 1980's light fixture into a lantern for your garden!

Don't throw it out! ....re-use it! We found this cool light fixture at a Thrift store and could not pass it up! With a little frost spray paint and black spray paint we gave it new life in the garden as a lantern!

My little mini greenhouse

I've ran out of recycled containers to start my seedlings, so I decided to make these little mini greenhouses out of plastic drink cups.

My Pergola on my backyard patio

We installed an aluminum white pergola kit ordered from Lowes to our back patio when we lost our two patio shade trees. We love how it is maintenance free and gives us all the shade we need.

    with another piece of sheetrock. When you spackle, use light coats & feather them out. Let them dry thoroughly and sand out any bumps. Use as many coats as you need to, to blend it to the existing sheetrock. As long as you don't have any bumps or pits, you will never know it was repaired once you paint. Cove molding will work just as well as crown molding without the expense, but if that's not an issue..crown molding is very beautiful!

    whatever kind of paint you want. Spraying is the best way to get a professional looking finish. Don't worry about a good cover the first coat of your finish, and let it dry between coats.
