How to Make a Simple Wall Shelf

Wall mounted shelf

My daughter asked me to make her a simple wall shelf for her new home. She has a modem box mounted in the middle of her wall with wires running down the wall to a table.

How to Make a Pet Automatic Cold Water Feeder

Water auto feeder

If you are anything like me your pets are part of the family and you try and make life as good for them as you do for yourself.  This is why I created this automatic pet cold water feeder.  Summers in Australia can get really hot so they need more water than they do in the winter.  I have tried putting out another bowl of water but they will not drink it.  I would come home from work and their water bowl would be drier than Gandi’s flip flop. It was heartbreaking not knowing how long they had no water for. I had tried a few different bowls but nothing worked. (Spoilt Brats)  Continue Reading →
