What is a rain chain?
What is a rain chain? Artistic Downspouts™ for your home Rain chains are a beautiful and functional alternative to traditional, closed gutter downspouts. History Rain chains (‘kusari doi’ in Japanese) in concept are not a new idea. RainChains.com has taken the original concept and expanded it into a broad line of products, incorporating both cup, link and even hybrid styles into their offerings. Styles Link designs are the closest to the original form. Cup designs are an improvement over links chains in performance and efficiency. Installation Installation is usually straight forward and simple. RainChains.com sells our cup chains in both standard (8 ½ feet) and by the foot. At the Bottom The Japanese often put a ceramic or stoneware pot beneath the chain which fills with water, so that when it rains, the water drips from the chain into the pot, creating a beautiful display. You can make a square out of redwood or cedar beneath the chains and fill it with small pebbles.

Prairie Story: Homemade Wasp Trap
Ok... this is kind of gross, but clearly it works. Once the wasps go in the bottle they can't figure out how to get out so they get trapped and die. This will minimize wasps, but the only way to eliminate them is to remove their nest or kill the queen. 1) Cut the neck off a plastic pop bottle. 2) Remove the bottle cap and flip the neck upside down and place it in the bottle opening that you just cut. 3) Tape together using packing tape or duct tape.4) Bait the trap. One last note, be mindful where you place the trap as living wasps will be attracted to it.

Natural weed killer (made with basic items in your kitchen)
I have to warn you, for the next month and a half my posts will be of a frugal nature. This doesn't mean I won't post items that will be of use to you...it just means I won't be spending very much money on them. We are planning a big family trip (to San Francisco!!! I am so excited. Ever since moving into this house, I have struggled to keep our front walk weed free. I got this frugal, yet extremely effective, way of killing weeds from my neighbor. I have googled this recipe and there are a million and one different variations so I thought I would share what I used and show you how well it worked. Materials: spray bottle (I had a 34 ounce one I purchased at the $ store a while ago)Pickling vinegar (It works better than regular vinegar because the acetic acid % is higher)Salt (1/2 cup for m size bottle)Dish soap (a squeeze) That is it!! Method: Fill a spray bottle almost full with Pickling vinegar. Go outside on a bright sunny day and spray those weeds. Here are the before images:

Unfinished, Undone, (yet somehow not) coming Unglued
Have you ever seen this plant? It is called ‘wedding veil’ (at least that is what the 9 year old said that sold it to me at our local farmer’s market). I love it. For example, the girls room still looks like this. It occurred to me yesterday that even if drywall does goes up in the next few weeks as is planned, when am I going to paint this? However, this man of mine totally redeemed himself with having these beauties built. Oh yes, you guessed it, me. And while painting on walls is really what my focus should be right now, I’m dying to paint a few canvases too. I started throwing some color on a canvas at least a month ago, and then haven’t gotten back over to it since. Here is another image I came across and was totally drawn to. And so I painted him. Lastly, I hope you will come back next week to walk and pray through a series of daily devotionals.
Maisons en palettes de bois
Non, ne jetez pas vos palettes de bois ! Après les chaises en palettes de bois ou le bureau design en palettes de bois à Amsterdam, voici une maison en palettes de bois. C’est tout d’abord le résultat d’un prototype de logements rapides construit pour les populations ayant subi les catastrophes naturelles. La palette en bois est l’idéale selon les créateurs (i-Beam) car elle est robuste, peu coûteuse et se trouve facilement. Aujourd’hui, la société i-Beam la développe également pour un logement préfabriqué à faible coût. Les palettes sont polyvalentes, recyclables, durables et faciles à assembler. Voici également l’exemple d’un garage en palettes de bois devenu permanent : Qu’en pensez-vous ? Photos : Source :
