  • 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!

  • Isn't this edge pretty? Trust me, this is very easy to do. All you need are three tools you likely already have on hand. 6
  • This was the before. Does this look more like what you have in your own yard? Let's fix this right up!
  • This is a simple half moon edger. Make a nice fresh cut along the grass part of your edges in a nice smooth arc.
  • Once the cut is made, trench out the soil with a hand held garden shovel and mound it away from the edge. Trim the grass along the edge horizontally and vertically to get that nice crisp haircut look.
  • The trench allows for water run off and soil falling, and the shadow just creates a really dazzling finish. 3
  • I created a fun little chart that displays the process a little better. Come check out all 4 steps as well as many other after shots at:
