outstanding job! I loved everything about this video!
How did you attach the 4×4 frame to the back of the filing cabinets?
You definitely have an eye. 🙌🏽 great work 👷♀️💪🏻
You are a diyer after my own heart! Love your ideas, some of which will solve problems I've been having
Thanks and keep it up!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hard to pick a favourite 🎉
Great idea!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😁😁😁
Kinda disappointed; the moveable no dig water spigot post has a supply list but no vid or instructions.
You are absolutely amazing. We need to do something to our chain link fence so our Berniedoodle doesn't jump over and hurt someone are himself. We can't afford to replace it now. Everything we do makes it really ugly. We are not creative at all can you make any suggestions please and thank you.
How do you get the water for spicket? I miss something because I don't understand how water can come out of a pole with just a spicket in it where's the water supply that forces it out let me know
Love all of them…. really different from what I have seen so far. I am so inspired to try the file cabinet one lol…wish me luck
I'll never have a deck that close to the ground again. I had rats living under mine. The only way I could get rid of them was to tear out that deck.
I told my fiancé about us.
I really like all of them but the bar-shed is my favorite. Adding a fan in there to enjoy on warmer nights would be perfect.
I live in central Texas and being outdoors is rough during summer. It's like you're outside but not really.

Love love the table ❤
Your filing cabinet hack is pure genius! Especially since they can be had for such low prices, since many companies no longer store paper. Excellent job, especially adding the lattice! The other prospects are outstanding as well. You go girl🤩🤩🤩
Gracias
Ugh believe me it's still buy this buy that buy that buy this….. For real come on
Wow! You are very talented! I love the filing cabinet so much. I’m in the search for two as I type this lol!
I plan to do several and will let you know when they are done ❤
What are the two umbrella looking trees at the beginning of the video?
AMAZING!! Just bought raw land and these are all great starter projects to get comfortable with tools Thank YOU
So Many Wonderful ideas! I Love the Big table! Yea, You would need a Crane to move that! Lol! You are So Handy and Simply Beautiful as well!
Fantastic! I just found you and hit that subscribe button! I can't wait to watch all your ideas!❤
These projects, in the majority, are super expensive to achieve. Wood is ridiculously priced and this makes many diys unattainable 😢
I think the table is cool.
A makeshift spigot!? Girl!! 🤯 Ingenuity at its finest! 👏🏻 👏🏻
All are absolutely amazing,👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hello, I love the file cabinet project & the fence garden. I will be doing them both. Thank you for sharing. Time for us to transform our backyard on a budget diy’ing.
🧠💪🤍
I’ve made a couple floating decks
I love watching people transform older homes.
How did you finish off or cover the open original bottom of the filing cabinets? You only show them from the one side. Not seeing a link for the video of this project
I am enjoying your video, the porch .
How did you cover the open bottoms (now the sides) of the file cabinets?
Thank you! Your posts seem to come up exactly when I need them! I’m on the east coast, redoing front and backyard. Did not realize what a HUGE job it is. New steps and floating deck, plus garden beds from the free pallets I picked up couple weeks ago. You feel adventurous and wanna come help create?!? I always feel like I want someone to mind eff the project when my brain goes on overload, haha
I just found your channel and love it ❤❤😊😊
Loved this video. I want to try the upcycled filing cabinet planter. I’ve subscribed! Thanks 😎
The shower curtain idea is a great plan for an instant screen for an unwanted view.
So far I like the filing cabinet planters with trellis
Absolutely gorgeous. New subscriber. The shed my Absolutely favorite DIY. I would live there
Super pomysly❤
