  • You can back-brush the second coat for a smoother texture.

    those used inside for hardwoods can remove the splintery top layer. Then a penetrating oil finish can be used. This "look" will still allow the woods beauty to shine through and not look like a paint job. I have also known of some who have removed each deck board and ran it through a portable thickness planner and then re-installed. If you are doing the labor your self this is a great cost saver.

  • The finished bookcase media wall.  I left the middle section open for a large flat screen t.v.  There's a hole in the countertop towards the wall for cords, and an electrical outlet accessible in the middle cabinet.
  • All trimmed, painted, and lights installed.
  • I used stock wall cabinets (12" deep) from Home Depot as lower cabinets, so I had to build a base for them.  I was reusing some cabinets from a previous media wall attempt that didn't turn out so great, which is why they're painted.

  • 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

  • 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.
