  • How to Harvest Rhubarb
  • To harvest rhubarb solidly grasp the stem and twist to the side and pull to remove. Do not cut the stalks.
  • Trim the leaves in a fan pattern for storing in the fridge or  trim the tops completely if you plan to use the rhubarb right away.
  • Whether stalks are red or green doesn't affect flavour, but the red stalks are generally preferred to make the beautiful pink colour often associated with rhubarb desserts...

  • 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!

Concrete Garden Path

We made this garden walkway with a mold that we purchased at Lowe's. We mixed the Quickcrete up and then poured it into the mold a section at a time. It was almost like making mud pies. It was a bit time consuming but we were very happy with the end result. It has held up very well as it has been down now for about 3 years.

  • Here is my tea pot fountain in full bloom. 8
  • We drilled a a hole in the tea pot and then threaded it. We attached flanges to a solid concrete block to support both the tea pot and the gold pan. The block is heavy enough to support the weight of the unit underwater. 5
  • We then built a support for the gold pan and dropped the unit into the whiskey barrel. We added a fountain pump and inserted tubing up through the tee on the bottom of the pipe that supports the tea pot and into the tea pot. 1
  • Add water and your done! The unit is free standing so it can be leveled and no holes are drilled in the whiskey barrel. I put it all away every winter and take it out and set it up in the spring. 1
  • Last year we poured a concrete base that the whiskey barrel sits on so it doesn't sink into the dirt. 1

Design & Décor: Grandsons room

I am wanting to convert our guest room into a room dedicated for our 2 grandsons when they come over. I have great ideas for this room, but would love suggestions and or photo's from ...»
others. The room is small about 9'x9', so storage is important. I do want to put in 2 twin beds. There will be a dresser that holds a small TV and I want to place a short table under the window between the beds. I was also thinking of painting the floor with roads and games for them to play. Our house was built in 1904 and I have already painted the floors with black floor paint up stairs since the ceilings are barely 7 feet tall we are unable to add a new floor unless we tear out the old pine floor. So I would love suggestions!

We Tested Ways to Cut Bathroom Smells

We tested matches, essential oils, plain candles, scented candles, aerosol spray, and central air conditioning. We tested them on both "emergency level" and "ambient" bathroom smells. The result? The best for emergency level smells was lighting a match, or scented spray. The least effective was candles, scented and plain. What works for you?
