Pigs, Kitchens & Gardens

It's been a busy few days around here,

and it all started with the repurposing 

of one of our garage bays :) 

We divided it from the rest of the garage 

by putting up plywood walls.

Behind those double-doors is Steve's workshop.

 I cut out the pig above and painted it with chalkboard paint.

Then mounted it to this board.

I wanted to make a vintage sign . . .

 so, I took this as my inspiration.

And made this.

 

There's my piggy menu board.

Steve installed a counter-top to the workbench

and I made some curtains.

 Our neighbors gifted us with this 

beautiful red coffee pot.

Steve built and mounted this 

chuck-wagon cupboard on top of 

a Home Depot tool box. 

The drawers will be great for storing 

aluminum foil pans and other BBQ supplies.

And the top will give him storage for

utensils, cutting boards and more :)

There is still a little more to do,

but when we are done I'll show you more photos.

We will be able to roll out a grill

and sit inside away from the rain, 

wind and snow this winter.

We use our grills all year round,

how about you?

I wanted to show you this . . .

just in case you are having bird problems in your garden.

told me to cover my grapes with cheese cloth.

I could find any so I used toile.

It has been working,

but I also have rubber snakes in the grapes 

and this morning I added these strips of 

shiny mylar. 

I cut them from an emergency blanket,

the kind you can buy for a dollar at a sporting good store. 

Well, that's what I've been up to.

There seems to never be time for 

"A Dull Moment" 

around here.
