Justin Guerra+FollowIs my husband a genius or just completely crazy? πThe hedges in front of our house were really old and woody. We were going to replace them with some new plants but my husband had a completely different idea. Instead of tearing them out, he turned them into what he calls a "bonsai in progress." He spent hours shaping them. My daughter thinks he has completely lost his mind πππ Is he a creative genius or is he just deranged? Although I do feel like it is a bold statement for our front yard π #HusbandHumor #DIY #Gardening #Bonsai #HomeProjects #GeniusOrCrazy #Funny #Home 9933Share
Thomas Clark+FollowMy house has become a drainage nightmareWe bought our dream homes, but they have quickly turned into a living nightmare. Every time it rains, our front yards turn into disgusting, mosquito-infested swamps. The so-called "swales" that were supposed to drain the water just fill up like little ponds. We've reached out to the home builder a dozen times, but they just act like it's no big deal and refuse to do anything. We even went to the county, but they just say their hands are tied. It feels like we have been completely abandoned. We poured our savings into these houses, and now we're left with this mess. We've tried everything we can think of, but we are out of options and out of hope. We just feel so defeated. I am begging for any advice from anyone who has gone through something like this before. What did you do to fix it? π #HomeownerProblems #DrainageDesign #DIY #HomeImprovement #AskForHelp #HelpNeeded #Home #HomeMaintenance 77Share
Mrs. Andrea Ayala+FollowHOW TO MAKE A POM POM RUG THE EASY WAY β ITβS SO FLUFFY!πΌπ§΅ How to Make a Pom Pom Rug the Easy Way! πΌπ§΅ π‘ The trick to making pom poms four times faster is all in how you wind the yarn around the pom pom maker. Use multiple strands of yarn simultaneously to speed up the process even more. π¨ Materials & Tools: - Three different colors of yarn for the flower pattern - Yellow yarn for the centers - Cotton yarn for contrast - Scissors - Large pom pom maker (highly recommended for time-saving) π§Ά Choosing the Right Yarn: - The thickness of the yarn determines the look and the time required. - A bulky-thickness yarn (size 5) gives a fluffy look and speeds up the process. - Avoid chunky yarn if you want a rug that's easy to walk on. π§Ά Pom Pom Count: - The rug requires 15 skeins of yarn and about 125 pom poms. - Each skein makes approximately nine 2.5-inch pom poms. π Backing Options: - The honeycomb-style rug backing is recommended for its spots to attach the pom poms, padding, and non-slip features. - Adding a second layer of rug backing reinforces the rug and enhances longevity. β° Tips for Making Pom Poms: - Use a pom pom maker or DIY with toilet paper rolls or cardboard tubes. - Wind more than one strand of yarn simultaneously. - Trim pom poms with sharp scissors for a clean look. π Care Instructions: - Use washable acrylic yarn or ensure 100% washable yarn is used. - Tie the pom pom strings tightly to prevent them from coming apart during washing. - Protect the rug in a covering and lay it flat to dry. βοΈ Considerations: - Pom poms are fluffy but the centers can be hard. - Fluffier pom poms with tight ties make for a less comfortable walking surface. - The rug is better suited for decorative use rather than heavy walking areas. πΆ Fun Fact: - The fluffy rug may attract pets! Keep an eye on them to prevent the pom poms from being detached. πΌ Happy pom-pom making! πΌ #DIY #PomPomRug #Crafting #PomPomMaker #YarnCraft #Decor #FluffyRugs #Handmade #HomeDecor #Creative40Share

Thomas Woods+FollowTried an old trick to keep wasps off my porch, and it worked!My friends have a new porch and they were worried about all the wasps and spiders that would start building nests. My wife told him about her old farmer dad's trick to paint the ceiling sky blue. I was pretty skeptical about it but she insisted. The idea is that the bugs think they are out in the open sky and that predators can find them easily. It sounds like a total myth. But they did it. It has been two years now and they have not seen a single wasp or spider nest on their porch. I have to say I am a believer now. #HomeImprovement #Gardening #PestControl #OldWivesTale #Homeowner #DIY #Discussion #LifeHacks 11310Share
Jennifer Russell+FollowI woke up to a massive yellow stain on my marble counterI am having a really bad day. I woke up to a huge yellow stain on my marble counter that was not there last night. It looks like it is probably from turmeric that got left out overnight. I have already tried cleaning it with just soap and water but nothing is working. The stain is really set in there. I am hoping someone out there has a good solution for this...I feel like the counter might be ruined π I would love to hear any home remedies that might work. #CleaningTips #StainRemoval #MarbleCounter #HomeMaintenance #HelpNeeded #TurmericStain #LifeHacks #DIY 37Share

Joseph Norris+FollowI actually built this but don't look too closely πI guess I'm still pretty new to building things like this, but I still decided to tackle a project in the backyard. I went into this with not much experience and no real plan, just an idea in my head and a pile of wood. It's not perfect by any means, but I'm pretty happy with how it came out. π #DIY #HomeImprovement #BackyardBuild #FirstTimeBuilder #DIYProjects #DIYCommunity #Home 10Share
Eric Ford+Followthis guy's diy hunting shack has me jealousJust watched this hunter build his own mountain hunting shack with zero construction background. Pure trial and error plus help from his kids made it happen. Total cost? Under $5k! Looks absolutely perfect - surrounded by trees, peaceful as can be. I can already picture myself unwinding there during hunting season, no cell service, just the woods and wildlife. Makes me want to start planning my own little getaway spot. Anyone else dream about having their own hunting retreat? #hunting #huntingcabin #DIY #huntingdreams #outdoors1649Share
Joseph Norris+FollowSaying goodbye to this awful 90s orange oak for goodSo happy to see how the front room turned out. The first pic is the staged photo from before, and the second is what it became. They put up and framed a mural, but overall they wanted to keep the space really simple. And for all the orange oak lovers out there, I am so sorry not sorry to say they replaced and painted all that ugly 90s orange oak. It had to go. What do you all think about the change? #HomeRenovation #DIY #BeforeAndAfter #OrangeOak #InteriorDesign #HomeImprovement 55Share
