yes indeed i totally agree no spending here, i use my inventive/artistic brain to help create what i need ..!!!!Excellent build, excellent repurposing of materials. You are blessed by a moderate climate. Your set up is an excellent visual pic of one of my "mantra's" If every one who could, would: do a bit of gardening, keep a few chickens, use, reuse, repurpose instead of spend, spend, spend, we would turn the economy of this country around. Our government would not know how to handle a country full of citizens who were self sufficient.
Good ideas. You could also use plastic to make the tube: perhaps a small trash can, cut the bottom out of it. Or use a larger plastic bucket, simply cut the plastic, and pop rivet it to make the right diameter tube. Left over pieces of aluminum flashing would also work well. all great ideas..!~!~! right on...!!!~
[/QUOTE]right on those are all very good ideas.. yes indeed..!!!use what you got...!!!! i love the pop rivet idea..!!! i think i have a pop rivet gun around here , have to go look for it..!
I SECOND THAT ...!!! IM WITH YOU ON THAT..!!! and i hope the new mattress helps your back , some times its the old mattress thats causing back pain..? i have a really bad back my self, not fun at all HA i blew my back out building my house when i was 25 & went through a car windshield before that HA, so my back & neck have never been right since, but i just try to keep going come hell or hi water..!!! & just try to rest up at night the only time i get to stop...HA im like the Energizer bunny ....lol.. but i might just need some new batteries soon ...HAGood ideas! I'll have to try it out. I just got a new mattress - yes, brand new, I need back surgery but I don't want it, and I was shocked at all the "stuff" for sale. I haven't shopped for pleasure in forever, preferring to make things out of free stuff, and I can see why people can't live on their incomes. I throw away all catalogs, and ads, or use them to start my fire. It is simply amazing what sells. I am still removing clutter from my house, and I don't want any new clutter!
WOW YEAH , i have seen this use of the 2 liter plastic bottles on a site from mexico a few years back and people were building and living in homes made out of the 2 liter plastic bottles , very kool idea..! then you have the glass wine type bottle house, with glass lites in the walls made from adobe & bottles or papercrete as the mortar & wine bottles, or cob as mortar but either way these are pretty kool ideas..!!!I just found this on another forum; it is cool and has possibilities.
It is about 1/2 way down the page and is a post about using 2 liter plastic bottles to make small structures.
