If you have ever tried to shovel up those pesty wet weeds & gunk that float onto your beach or shore, and greet you as a big smelly mess? They are hard to shovel up because the pile can be heavy from the water in the dead weeds. When trying to clean it up with a shovel you can end up with as much water in your wheelbarrow as dead weeds. Unionjackstable.com has you covered. They carry a line of shovels that have holes in them and slits so the water gets left behind where it belongs. This sieve shovel sells for $89.95. UnionjackStable.com
We found this fun idea for a soap dispenser on theblissfullycontentlife.blogspot.com. Here are the basic steps to making one:
1. Find a canning jar and a lid.
2. Mark a spot on the top side of the lid where the soap pump will go through the lid.
3. If the underside of the lid has a ceramic casing, you will need to remove it.
4. Mark the underside of the lid.
5. Use a needle pliers to peel back the lid where the pump is going to be.
6. You can seal the lid with a clear polyurethane.
7. Once you insert the pump through the lid, glue it in place.
Check theblissfullycontentlife.blogspot.com for a further description on how to make it. Blissfully fun!
