  • Here is the shed in full bloom. See what Miracle Grow can do? I love that stuff! 1

My fairy tale style shed

This is a 2 story shed I built with the help of a friend a few years ago. It actually has a second floor loft that is accessible via a permanent ladder inside. It has double garage doors ...»
in the back with ramps so I can get my tractor in and out easily. There are cedar shakes near the roof on the sides with a cute little window with shutters that swing out cottage style. I used old windows and an old door I had lying around and then built the shutters and window boxes. There is a matching window on the side and the windowbox flowers overflow by mid summer and cover half the windows. I love my little fairy tale shed and enjoy decorating it for summer. Deer, groundhogs and other wildlife enjoy hanging out there. Thanks for letting me share my love of gardening.

REpurposing an old brass chadelier, to old iron for the patio

I have always wanted to reuse an old brass chandy for the patio. So when a friend offered me one for FREE, I snatched it. I took it apart and removed all the electrical, put it back ...»
together so it could be used with candle cups and then got to spraying it 'old iron', paint I got on clearance. Then used rope to hang and added the blue candle cups and voila, an Old Iron Chandy for the patio

Wildlife & Animals: Does anyone have any good suggestions on how to keep squirrels out of my bird feeders?

I have tried the crushed red pepper in the bird seed, and have tried putting vaseline on the pole that holds the feeders....any other suggestions? I will at times have one or two in the feeders, with 5 or 6 on the ground below...I dont mind them on the ground, but they've broken a couple of feeders already this year for me.... :(

Flooring: Flooring choices

Hey y'all!

Have any of you flooring guys/gals out there ever installed high-quality plywood floors? If so, wondering how they hold up. Here's a pic and here's the link where I read about them. What do you all think?

  • The handle truly makes the toolbox in this case. Choose your handle, then build your box around it.
  • Fun details!
  • This is where it sits most of the time... sure beats a plain 'ol cup for those pens. :)
  • Wish to give it a try? Here's a sample of the how to on the blog at:

Make a drill handled toolbox

I LOVE vintage toolboxes. I find them incredibly versatile to use in one's home from a table centrepiece to pen storage beside the phone. But they aren't always easy to find, not to ...»
mention price efficient if you're going after vintage.

So... I invented a 'one board toolbox'. One board was cut to create all the sides and bottom. Pick your funky handle of choice to start and you're on your way.
