Use only one pallet slat and a few nails to make a cute little trough.

  What can't a pallet be used for - this is a fabulous "wreath" idea!

square feet of ceramic tile. Can I just put it in my trash can for regular curb pick up? Do I need to call and make special arrangements? How do you guys who DIY dispose of larger than normal or construction debris?

  itself. if you have algae issues some shade can help. lilly pad type plants can reduce the amount of light that reaches the water...thereby reducing algae growth.
  sediment issues can be corrected with filters etc. As Walter asked what filters are you using? and have you checked them lately?

  Debbie, I saw the closet you pictured above on BHG website. I also ... »
  saw that several people asked the same question on the bottom of the photo ad have not seen any answers. I have never seen an ironing board attachment like they show. Perhaps if you go to Lowes or Home Depot and ask for help they may have an arm llike the one shown to attach to a small ironing board. It looks simply made.Or perhaps you could make one. It looks like its an arm attached to the ironing board that lift up and sits on a clip of sorts that locks it in place. If you print the photo from the website where the sales person could get a better look at it they may have such an item for sale.

  I love keeping my hands busy. I usually paint or make jewelry. ... »
  I've hand-made many things over the years...stools, birdboxes, shelving, hiking sticks...the list goes on. I also love sewing and decorating the house, so now I'm into the world of 're-purposing' :) Can't wait to get started on the many plans in my head! Estate sales and yard sales are my newest sport :).....so much fun!
  thank you all for the fabulous ideas and I will def post pics of the final work.
