Just as good as the classic or even better?A couple of weeks ago I told you all about how I learned the right way to mop and how that makes such a big difference for me in getting my floors looking nice and clean.
So here’s what we did:.-Took down the old ramp and set aside the wood for future use.. -Built the stairs and all the new railings out of the old ramp.. -Realized that the deck still felt too small because there was no way to fit a table and BBQ on it.. -Solved that problem!.
-Spent like $3 on everything.(Major exaggeration for effect.But we mostly just had to buy deck screws, stain, and pretty decorations for fun.
So not thousands like we would have spent otherwise to get this deck in working order.).The most time consuming thing was cutting down all the old boards to make the spindles.
We really thought the wood was in horrible shape and that we’d need to buy new wood, but once we got started we realized we had more than enough good wood to do what we wanted, and then some!
Changing out the railings from that tired-looking old lattice really made a big difference.. You could easily do the same thing with any deck by taking it apart and re-shaping it, or even just moving and re-sizing some stairs and railings.I thought it would be neat if I could try to figure out a way to make a nice bow out of some of the really cute fabrics that I have in my stash and I’m pretty excited with what I came up with!.
Here’s how you can make one too!.Start with a long strip of fabric.
Mine was about 1.5 yards long and about 7 inches wide.There was nothing exact about my process.
