Hi there! I actually glued it all together and down to the mat beneath it but, honestly, I would not recommend that for future projects - it was incredibly labor intensive. Traditionally people have always sewed them together but if I did this again I think I would join them with more fabric by looping the fabric through the braids.

Thank you Penolopy!

Hi there, it actually isn't a meter. The meter is on a pole in my yard, this is just the conduit where the electric lines come into my home.

Thank you!!

Thanks for commenting!

Thank you! I was really pleasantly surprised with how pretty and sweet it turned out!

Thanks! That's a great idea!

Hi there, actually the smell of the bees wax and shea butter is far more dominant, the cocounut is extremely subtle. The shea butter has a very warm butterly and waxy smell.

Thanks!!

I hope it helps! No need to add the eesential oil either, it smells and works great without too!

Thanks!

Thank you!

Yes it does! My cousin is an auto mechanic and the last time he was over I had him try it and he was absolutely amazed at how well it worked. He said one particular place on his hand had NEVER been that clean lol I know what I'm getting for him for Christmas!

Thank you! I need to figure out how to do that!

Hi there, we're kinda hoping for that here lol, think it will go fine with our "barn yard" look we have going on. But I would think a good rustoleum paint would take care of that problem. Thanks for coming by and checking it out!

I hear you about those braided stainless steel wires, they look amazing! Thanks for checking it out and commenting!

Thank you!

Very true! Out in the sticks where I'm at the only "code" was that I needed to check with out house insurance company. Otherwise we were good to go. They were just happy we finally had something lol But it is very important to check with local building codes before doing anything like this.

Oh that looks awesome! Thanks so much for sharing with us!

That's a wonderful idea and actually something I considered doing too! Thank you for sharing with us!

All fixed

Great idea! Thanks for checking it out and coming by!

That's exactly the plan!! Thanks :)

Thank you! :)

Yup some feet would definitely help with stability! Thanks for coming by, checking it out and commenting!

Thank you!

Hi there! So far we've had a couple of serious rain storms and haven't noticed any problems because when the garters get full they just run over. I'm wondering in trouble areas like this where you live (I know up here in northern MN we don't see anything like the storms that you guys do!) if you made the gutters a lot more shallow. So instead of cutting off 1/4 of the pipe like we did instead cut it completely in half making a much more shallow gutter that would overflow a lot quicker?

Thank you!!

Thank you!

Thanks for commenting, so far its really been great for us, it survived the winter and everything (I worried it would just wash away down the other side of the yard lol)

lol well they're sold for this purpose exactly so I really can't say whether or not they're "rated" they were a lovely and easy solution to one very ugly problem for us. Thanks for commenting!
