Compost Tumbler !! Every Gardner knows how essential compost and fertilizer is to growing healthy plants. Currently I spend an upwards of 100$ on fertilizer per year. That stops today. Why spend money on something you can make for free yourself? Traditionally to make compost usually you would just take all your grass clippings and old veggies and salad that are leftover from the table. You put it all in a pile and turn it with a pitchfork every couple of weeks. Then after a few months you have a nice compost to add to your garden and feed your plants.  Another good method is to get compost tumbler and use it to make your compost.

It's always good to have at least one or two oil changes worth of oil and filters in the stockpile. In case of job layoffs and such, you never know what tomorrow will bring.  Get your Oil and tools and get to work!  Ok so I have to tell you, this is a dirty job. I definitely turned a pair of nice jeans into work jeans lol. First you need to find tha

Here it go's my first blog post.  Over and over I have used money to purchase building materials for various projects, but I never realized there is tons of free building materials getting thrown away every day in America. Why spend money on new materials when people are willing to give you their trash just to get it off their property. Here is a few things I have done with materials I got for free. This was the first free posting I responded to. I saw it late on the night after thanksgiving and said "Why not ? I'll try my luck for some pallets."  When I got there they were all just sitting there it was late at night around 10 O'clock and kind of creepy driving into the parking lot so late at night.   I loaded them up and had to make the risky decision to stack them two high in my pickup. This place was a ten minute drive from my house and I was afraid if I only took two at a time, then I would loose out on some of the others. I strapped them do
