Only you would make that comparison.

They do look like bacon

Mmmmm dinosaur bacon!

my wife wanted a ladder shelf and I didn't want to pay for one:

So ....If I don't want to pay for one, you'll make one for me too?

My extension ladder sucks and I got tired of risking death to clean gutters while on it.

I made the Gutter Master 5000 today.





It seems to work.

Infomercial
"The new Gutter Master 5000! Fear heights? Then fear no more!"

[DesmoDiva]

ML that should work.

However the length to diameter ratio looks a bit iffy.  Maybe it will be stiff enough not to bend with the water pressure on the inside.

[Speeddog]

I was thinking that looked a bit dodgy.

Nothing too crafty but still pretty useful. These solar lights break and shorten the string of the weed eater and you cant really mow around them.



I made them so that they can be taken out and put back in by driving some PVC pipe into the ground.
Leaving them pointed at the pipe helps to find the pipe more easily.







Difficulty level 1 unless the ground is hard. If there is a convenient Yellow Jacket nest, you can skip driving in the pipe, and just put the light in the hole.


Oh and I poured that concrete and did a couple of other things around there.

DP, let me know if I should post in Flea Market instead of here.

Approx. 10 slabs of cherry wood for you crafty bastards (Zilbert) for the taking.  Just need to cover shipping/packaging costs from Newark NJ area.

If I were you, I'd post it in the Misc section also.

There are some that don't come to NMC and play with us unwashed types.
