It's done! My craft & exercise room is ready for use. I divided the 9' X 9' room into zones, most of it storage.

The before pictures are what happens when you use poly indoors, drop the can and decide to just store stuff. The after pictures show the 4 different zones in the room. I have a sewing and ...»

Thank you. I'm putting casters on the work bench so that I can wheel it over to the supply ...»
area and back if I want to. I crotcheted the exercise mat, it is slippery on the wood floor but then that just adds another no impact exercise routine I can do by standing on it and twisting or sliding back and forth like an ice skater. It's completely machine washable and I used up about 8 different left over balls of yarn. Now I can bring my new sewing machine upstairs where it belongs and start sewing my throw pillow covers and new bathroom shower curtain.

glass vase, I am going to put half marbles in there to add just a little color and bling! I think I posted a lot about E6000..I use clear indoor out door silicone..caulk e6 is too runny for me. I love the metal pieces, and the red in the middle is very cool attention getting. Watch out for bees they may mistake this for the real thing! haha

Purple and blue flowers

My overflowing grape hyacinths. Yes I do love purple. I missed the shots of the crocus blooming white yellow and purple. #itchingforspring.

Thanks, it was an old wall basket/planter. I thought I could make a light fixture out of the ...»
two of them but ended up using one in my bathroom for my hair stuff and one on the back deck for our Harley Bear to hold her brushes, leash, big bag of plastic bags for walking duties, you name it.

My resolution is to fininsh the redos in the house, some are from 2009! Baseboard installation and picture hanging are the biggest issues. Also the stairway risers, guest bedroom and craft room. #NewYearsResolution Husband will cut the riser pieces and I will sealcoat them, approximately 3 to 4 at a time with 5 ...»

Gardening: Any labor saving ideas on how to get the dirt from the bottom of the hill to the top? Slope is 45 degrees.

wheelbarrow won't work because of the terrain.

The black thing in the second picture is a tumbler for mulch which I can't use on the gardens ...»
because that is where I put my grass clippings, weeds and shredded credit offers. It doesn't seem to get hot enough to kill the weed seeds. I found out the hard way. Just below it is a fire pit that the county says I can't use now because of the burn restrictions (it's too big and the only time it's dry enough we have burn bans). I plan on a water feature there and terracing it eventually so I can have a veggie garden back there. For this spring I just want to get the scrap dirt from various other projects to the top right hand corner to help level it out. A bobcat would be a big help both this spring and when we do terrace it but I don't know if it will fit between my house and the fence < 8' on one side and <5' on the other. So far turtle power seems to be it unless I can find some local teens wanting $$ this summer. No luck last year.

What could be causing the lowest door hinge pin to keep climbing out of the hinge? The hinge is on the outswing French doors between our family room/office leading to the deck. Only the ...»

Outdoor Living: How do I keep an unknown neighbor's cat from peeing on my front porch, furniture and cushions?

We can't use a motion sensor water scarecrow because it would get the delivery people all wet too.

I was thinking of going door to door and say if this happens again I won't be keeping him that ...»
I would take him to the humane society for them to handle because obviously they( the human servants) can't. Dogs have human parents, cats have servants. lol I love most all critters but not when they are damaging my property.

Oops! Leave without saving?
