DIY Pallet Tiki Bar

We’ve been talking about building a pallet tiki bar for a LONG time. We had this perfect empty spot in our back yard under a palm tree that was just screaming for a bar! My husband dubbed it the TreeKee bar instead of the Tiki Bar since we planned to use the tree as part of the actual bar. Confused? Don’t be. Keep reading to find out how we did it.Step 1 – Measure and map out the area…We played around with a layout and decided we were going to use 2 pallets in the front to make the actual bar area. Each pallet is 4 ft wide which would make it 8 ft across. We felt this would comfortably seat 4 bar stools. We knew we'd need at least 6 posts to hold up the pallets and the roof. As for the roof we planned to put one on, but the tree branches would remain on the roof as part of the ‘tiki look’.

How to Install a Trash Compactor

Hello readers! Today’spost, Hello I Live Here shows you how to install a trash compactor. I have waited to get this one appliance back for quite some time. Because our kitchen is on the smaller side, 10 x 10 max – yep you read that right – I waited to make sure I could part with the cabinet space before installing this appliance.

Finding I could live without it, I took the rains and ordered a Sears Kenmore Trash compactor, promoting our blog today on how to install a trash compactor. Hubby was surprised when he opened to door to Sears Home Delivery today :-) . Yep, from working on a table, to jumping right on over to another project – that’s how we roll over here at Hello I Live Here ;-). It’s all in the day of the frantic life of Linda! ...

Mobile Heartache to Mobile Home!

Four years ago, we moved into a 20-year-old mobile home on a farm. Being a city girl, I was at a loss with what to do with this place that had sat empty for 2 years and was being reclaimed by the critters and insects that inhabited the land. The kitchen was particularly daunting as you can see. It took me 3 years and testing the waters in all the other rooms before I could even figure out where to start in the kitchen.
When we first moved in we bought new appliances and changed the white for stainless steel. The kitchen got an industrial cleaning and de-mousing and then we used it like that until the end of winter 3 years later.
