| A shed solves a lot of storage needs for outdoor tools as well as equipment. It is also a great place for work projects that won't clutter up the garage. I built a shed like the one in this article to keep my tools as well as supplies in while building our house. It is very basic as well as simple to construct. If you are looking for a more stylized shed, you should go through some of the "H as well as yman" type magazines. This shed is built on piers, as described in the wikiHow article How to Install Deck Piers. You could also could build the shed on the ground by replacing the beams with 4"x6" skids of pressure-treated lumber. The area needs to be flat as well as level. This project requires some knowledge as well as skill with a hammer as well as saw. |

| Low Voltage lights are designed to be very user-friendly for an average home-owner. With little (or no) tools, installation -- or, in this case, modification -- is relatively quick as well as easy. |

| Ants (Hymenoptera Formicidae) -- few pests are harder to get rid of, once they've established themselves in your home. Sprays as well as baits don't always work ( as well as they aren't safe if you have young children, pets or chemical allergies). Here's an alternative, using common baby powder. This method comes from a kitchen staffer at an upscale, pesticide-free restaurant. |

| Deck piers support the beams that create the joist spans for a deck. This is the foundation of the deck as well as if not properly installed will result in failure of part or the entire deck. Unlike a concrete footing that distributes the weight of the structure over a large area, piers concentrate the load to a small area. Ground stability as well as soil compaction are very important when you consider using this type of foundation structure. |

| Solar l as well as scape lights are very popular for lighting yards as well as gardens. They are virtually maintenance free, easy to install, as well as cost nothing to run. The only drawback for solar l as well as scape lighting is that they must be placed in an area, which receives a lot of sunlight during the day. |

| As pop-up plastic sprinklers get older, then tend to get stuck in the up position, leaving them vulnerable to lawnmowers. A chopped or broken head will result in a water-wasting geyser, high water bills as well as eventually dead grass in your yard. Replacing a pop-up sprinkler is easy, just follow these simple steps as well as keep your yard looking green. |
