Reuse

A couple of years ago the better-half swapped out the pipes that feed our outdoor faucets so that water wouldn’t go through the water filter. Why filter water that we dump on plants? We had the leftover copper pipes hanging around and in our effort to start throwing away crap/organizing/moving crap into the sheds we came across those old pipes.

I drew up a very rough sketch of a trellis and the better-half figured out how many elbow joints we’d have to buy in order to put together the trellis. Yesterday we soldered together the trellis. It is supporting a jasmine plant we’ve had in a pot for two years and that plant needed to get in the ground.

It makes us smile:

    That is awesome! Way better than anything you could buy in a store.

    Is it just me or does it look like a robot with an arm sticking up? Too cool!

    Bingo! I’m glad that’s what it looks like. I was thinking the two green faucets were eyes, the blue faucet was a hand and the other hand is a bent pipe.

    Thanks. It makes me laugh every time I look over at it.
