  • You can back-brush the second coat for a smoother texture.
  • The deck almost looks like composite now. Rust-Oleum has lots of different colors to choose from, and we selected "Saddle".

    is just very tough to get it going. If you remember from your chemistry class. Fire needs three things...heat, fuel and Oxygen. This wood is so dense that the heat and Oxygen parts are compromised. Ipe burns slow and hot when tossed into an already burning woodstove.

    If a fire did come my way the floating embers that would land on the deck would have a hard time igniting. However if the joists below caught fire from below due to the grass or yard burning...it would not make much difference.

    Boulder county (where I live) has outlawed cedar roofs and these need to be replaced by next year...even in the lower elevations and "city" of Boulder.

  • Erosion was a real problem. Not to mention the dirt the builders brought in. Very sticky clay plus a ton of rocks.
  • This is what we had to work with.
  • We dug out and built these tiers by hand one shovel at a time! We took the Garden of Eden Film approach and brought in compost plus year old mulch to serve as a natural "covering". So we rarely water our garden.

  • I wanted to share my little sister's Backyard Waterfall & Pond!
  • She and her hubby did all the work themselves! They did a great job of incorporating the waterfall into the landscape-it looks like it's been there forever.
  • I love it! I have a much smaller waterfall and pond on the to-do list for summer & hers gave me lots of inspiration- I thought you'd like it too! xo

In case you're planning a DIY water feature, I thought I'd show you my sister's Waterfall & Pond that she and her hubby put in...maybe you'll get an idea or two, I know I did!

  • My grandkids love our tire swing. It is hung from a large oak tree on a hill so they get lots of height.
  • Here is the hardware you need. 3 two inch U-bolts, 3 four and a half foot long pieces of chain and a quick connect.
  • Placement of the swing is very important. Make sure there is plenty of room for those big circle swings.
