Pivotrim

Have you seen those commercials about the Pivotrim weed trimmer head?

This one here watch it.

Well guess what? Me being the avid yard cutter that I am I ordered this thing and I was really amazed. I got it in the mail today and attached it really really easily and I was insane at cutting grass. Its so buck wild in fact that I had to actually take two of the four strings off it. It was too much for my weed eater.

With two lines on it, its cutting fantastic! I am just amazed.

This is really the first time I saw something on TV and ordered it and it actually worked out well.

If you need to soup up your weed eater and are tired of bumping it on the ground to get more line, get this!

Its been a while

It’s been many months since I last wrote on my blog – I apologize for that. Its been a very busy few months, but perhaps I can settle into a routine and write a little more often soon. I have been really busy doing projects. You know I love me some projects. Projects!!!

I love summer and getting outside and doing things. In fact this year I even quit the gym as it was cutting into my outdoor time. I would be in the gym daydreaming about what all I could be doing. I used to put the gym very high on my priority list, but not anymore. I guess getting older just changes your perspective on things.

This summer me and wifey embarked on a complete kitchen remodel and I had the chance to do several things I have been wanting to do for a long time. One was under cabinet lighting, the second was concrete counter tops. I know what you are thinking ….. “concrete?” yes concrete and it really is nice and its not like what you are thinking. You are probably thinking quickrete and rough sidewalk look, but no its not like that at all. You will see in upcoming posts on this website.

Another thing I finally got around to doing was my wine bottle tiki torches around the yard. I even made one for outdoor tables out of empty Patron bottles.

Did a little more landscaping in the yard.

Next thing I did was make a mason jar chandelier for our carport. Its really snazzy.

This is only the middle of the summer and I still have several projects left to complete.
1. Build a sitting bench around a large tree in my front yard.
2. Remake a walking path in the backyard with large fake stepping stones.
3. Pour a slab in an area where our backyard hydrant is.
4. Built a cabinet and concrete sink on this slab.
5. Build a guitar shaped concrete sink.
6. Build a concrete water feature for the backyard.
7. Build a concrete coffee table with ice and fire capabilities. (this will be fun)

That should be enough.

I promise I will start blogging on here more even if its just random mess!

Stay tuned…

Its Spring Time!

Its spring time once again and into the backyard I go.

I love working in the backyard making and doing things to improve its look and feel.

I recently just complete a project that has been on my mind for well over a year now.

Its a privacy pergola.

See pics!

Snowpacolypse 2011

Its snowing once again here in North Mississippi. For those of you that dont know, this is a rare event to get ANY snow at all here in Mississippi and this year it has snowed 3 times.

Here are some videos from today.

In the wiper video it had only been snowing for about 30 minutes.

This is a little while later….

Slide Show Videos

Late last night I made some Slide Show videos of my dogs.

Remember an older article about how we adopted a dog that was a Hurricane Katrina evacuee?

You can Read about it here.

Well here he is doing just fine.
