| Throw Patio Furniture in Pool for Quick Cleaning
|
|
A quick way to clean plastic patio furniture is to toss it into the pool for a few hours. This especially works good if the furniture is white. If you don't have a pool, mix up some chlorine a little stronger than a pool and spray it down generously.

| Using Composite Wood Decking
|
|
Has anyone used composite wood decking to build a new deck or re-surface an existing deck? It is much pricier than regular wood, but supposedly lasts forever, no maintenance, and adds value to the home. We were wanting to get some opinions from those who have it.

 I made this out of a old used up shelf. I nailed two wooded stakes on the back of it and painted it.

|
 Nothing makes your home look better, than a new porch swing. My husband made mine out of scrap lumber and paint. What a nice place to relax!

| Alternate Fence Pickets to Look Good from Both Sides
|
|
If you keep alternating the pickets, nailing the first to your neighbor's side and the next to your side, you will end up with a fence that looks something like basket weave and will look good on both sides.

| Garden: Summer House
|
 2 years ago we had to cut back a holly bush which had grown out of control. Unfortunately it just left bare branches so we decided to remove it altogether. In its place we've erected this summerhouse.

| Sandbox Sand for Your Icy Driveway
|
|
Every year, I replace the sand in my daughter's turtle sand box because it gets leaves and pine needles from the yard, but I thought there should be something else I can use this sand for. Then I thought, in late October in Maine, it is beginning to get cold and we are all stocking up on salt for icy driveways and walk ways.

| Use Sandbox Sand in the Garden
|
|
In the fall when we put things away, it was always "What do we do with the sand from the sandbox?" Well, I assess what areas of my veggie and flower garden soil needs some soil treatment and divide out the sand box to the garden needing it most.

| Build Your Own Patio Cover
|
 Updated With Photo. We built a nice patio cover with bamboo fencing, got it from Lowe's. I have potted plants under it. I planted morning glory and ivy vines at the corners. It is covered with pretty blue and pink blooms from spring time till the freeze comes.
