Simple Garden Project

This is what happens when I am in the garden and realize that I have a broken fountain, a bag of dirt, and some pansys that need a home! I turn the broken fountain into a fun planter! Super easy project, and the most fun part is that it still acts like a bit of a fountain when the little “pots” have too much water.

Want to ask a question?

Ahmed Hassan, from the show “Blog Cabin”, has offered to answer a question  or two in a sort of behind the scenes segment during the taping of “Blog Cabin.” I know that following the blog has been fun, but I am having a hard time coming up with something great to ask him about. So, I thought, why not get all of your feedback and questions too!

If you would like to ask a question about “Blog Cabin” be sure to leave a comment. You might just see your question answered.

I DIY, do you?

If you are reading this blog, I bet you DIY!

It’s funny though, in my off line life, there are so many people who are just amazed at the things we do to our house. They are amazed because they just can’t imagine doing the things we do without paying someone else to do it for them!

They always ask, how did you know how to do that? Well friends, here is a little secret. A lot of what we know how to do we learned by doing it! Did I know how to do Venetian plaster? Not until I tried it! What about installing tile, or new fixtures, or a new sink? Not until we tried it! Here is just one example of what we have done ourselves, and it was worth it!

So, for my non-DIY friends, what are you waiting for? Go for it! Unless it is something where you could really get hurt (like electricity), there is no reason why you can’t paint that wall! There is no reason why you can’t try refinishing that piece of furniture, or making that flower bed! Get to it! You’ll be glad you did!

Nailed at 9

Nailed at 9 is the name of a line up of shows on DIY Network. This clip is pretty funny, it’s from the show Yard Crashers. I always wondered if everyone was just ready and willing to let a camera crew follow them home!

Personally, I would happily let him come to my house and do some yard work!
