But first, my own new favorite method for polishing stainless steel!.
I was not paid to write this post, however Birch Lane did provide me with the rug and the pillow covers for this dining room project free of charge.My opinions about how splendidly fantastic the room turned out are all mine!Here I am with another one of Chris’ clever DIY tricks!
I caught him doing this one the other day when he was laying the floor tiles in the bathroom and I just had to share it.I never would have thought to do it like this, but it works.Start out by measuring the diameter of the curve that you’ll be needing and cut out a triangular notch that’s the length of the diameter at the base of the triangle (on the edge of the tile) and half that length high.
This is for a half-circle type of curve, which will be probably the most common curved cut you’ll need because every bathroom needs a toilet!.Next, either use a grade school style compass, or just find a round object about the size of your hole and trace out a circle that touches all three points of your triangle.
A pot lid will probably work great!
THEN you take your tile saw and cut straight notches from the edge of the tile up to your drawn-on curve.We really did dedicate a lot of time to it last year, but we just couldn’t keep up.
We knew we’d have to do something different this year and maybe that’s why we’ve only planted just a few things so far.This year is a little bit of an experimenting year.. We’ve read several places that the best way (and the only way for some types) to get rid of weeds and keep them away without using crazy chemicals is to smother them with black plastic.
For several years.At the start of last year, it seemed like a pretty drastic measure to lose the use of your garden for a few years just to avoid pulling a few weeds, but by Spring of this year, we knew that was what we had to do..
