Shopping Carts turned Chairs
As a teenager I am rather ashamed to admit that I pushed a shopping trolley ( Or shopping cart depending on where you live) into a river. But before it’s un-natural departure myself and my friends had so much fun with it! Riding it, racing it and generally treating it like the best thing ever. But did I miss out on doing something far better with it?!? As a chance to repent my sins for pushing the shopping cart into the river I bring you… Continue reading
The World’s Best Wheelbarrow Wall Art
For some reason I think you will all relate to my little story here today, you see just yesterday my neighbour (who was moving out of his home) knocked on my door and asked me if I wanted my Wheelbarrow back. Now this might not seem that unusual, but he had “borrowed” it for so long I had forgotten he had it and got myself a new one!

But before I hear about those from everyone I think I need to find a use for this now spare wheelbarrow I have, so without further ado I bring you… Continue reading
The World’s Top 10 Best Uses of old Tyres

And while I don’t have any pictures of my neighbours I have decided to bring you… Continue reading
The World’s Top 10 Best Cinder Block Planters
I am going to admit to something here that not a lot of people know: “I HATE GARDENING!” I love the look of a nice garden, but hate doing it. For several years now I have paid my elderly neighbour in beer to cut the grass every few weeks because I hate doing that much! But something I do love looking at and making myself is what is known as a cinder block planter. Simple to make, the plants are care free succulents and they look simply stunning. And with that in mind I bring you…. Continue reading
