Howwwwww Nifty: Wintergatan

Starting off this article with a tease, a sizzle, a taste if you will….. this is simply a pianist reacting to WINTERGATAN (which, if I’m being honest…… not sure if that’s the artist or the machine—maybe both?). I discovered this channel yesterday and went down a rabbit whole and I must say: I’m impressed. While I was perusing this content I also came across a video of Mark Rober and a talking piano, literally, but that’s another subject for another day… in the meantime CONTINUE READING for the low down

DIY ARTICLE!!!!!! Hobbit holes and more

1. How To Build A Five Gallon Bucket Hydroelectric Generator

This generator is easy to build and easy to maintain. The way that this 5 gallon bucket hydroelectric generator was constructed was to use common martial that most people could get there hands on. Most of the components used in the generator are readily available just about anywhere in the world. A 5-gallon bucket should be your base and the rest will easily fall into place.

2. Two Uses for Vinegar!!!!! yay

I know, how exciting right? Of all the articles on all the topics I have found the most interesting one! because vinegar has only 2 uses....... (sarcasm)

3.  100-Year-Old Way to Filter Rainwater in a Barrel

A tattered, 4-inch thick, 1909 book I happily secured for $8 in a thrift store reveals, among umpteen-thousand other every-day skills, how to make homemade water filters. The instructions in “Household Discoveries and Mrs. Curtis’s Cookbook” are quite basic as everyone had a rain barrel back then and presumably knew how to clean the water. Now, 104 years later, I am thankful the authors had the foresight to preserve their knowledge for us, and pointed out that rainwater collected in barrels from a roof is a necessity in some locations, but also is best for laundry and “often more wholesome for drinking purposes than hard water.”

Last but never least!

COOL!: D-I-Y Sock teddy bears

First off I love stumbling, second off I love wayyyyyyy too many things to begin to list them now. 3rd off, I will say that I love DIY (Do it yourself incase you don't know) projects. so naturally when I stumble across things that involve cool little projects with everyday items I get excited (if you goto my BLOG at the 18734.webs.com), such as the moss graffiti  or this cool site. but I digress-

Today I came across the sock monkey! so if this sounds like something up your alley give it a try!

Sidenote: Going to utilize this for our Polite Aschole skits involving our monkey (don't ask don't tell)
