Fifteen great Home, Deck and Garden Projects!
I have been working on this book for over 20 years. It is a
collection of home improvement projects that I have personally built
and wrote myself because I wanted the improvement for my home and
family and did not or could not pay for it. By doing it myself I was
able to save hundreds of dollars compared to the price of buying these
products. The book includes 15 valuable projects that you will be
proud to say that you built yourself. Anyone of these projects could
save you many times the price of this book. I have sold hundreds of
these project plans individually. I have finally combined these
projects together into one large pdf file. The book has over 140 pages
of instructive text, drawings and pictures on how to build each
project. The Adobe Acrobat Reader file will be email to you after
payment is received.
Thanks,
Kenneth Dixon

Barrel style Compost Tumbler
Make your own Barrel style Compost Tumbler. This is a low cost, easy
project that can be completed in just a few hours. The tumbler can be
made from any barrel that has a locking removable top. The plans
completely describe how to equip the inside of the barrel with an air
chamber that allows the compost to mix with air to shorten the time it
takes for the compost to cure. This air chamber also helps mix the
yard debris when spinning the barrel. The air chamber can also be used
to water the compost in order to keep the contents moist. The barrel
holds constant moisture in the mix to aid the curing process. It's
easy to load and unload and is light enough to easily be moved
anywhere on your property. You'll get complete plans, drawings and
pictures for building a Barrel style Compost Tumbler.
Under Deck Roofing
It is a problem that many home owner's have. They have a high deck
with plenty of room under it. What a great place for storage, a
workshop, a playhouse, etc. Many, many uses for the room but there is
one looming problem. Your deck leaks like a sieve. Anything you store
under it will eventually get wet. It is a problem that I had for
years. Fix this problem with Under Deck Roofing Plans. Plans come with
easy to read how to text, drawings and pictures.
Low Cost Double Carport
Short of a full garage, a carport probably gives your car's finish
the best protection against nature's destructive forces. These forces
include summer's heat and sunlight, spring's rain and pollen, fall's
falling debris and winter's frost. Year after year, these natural
forces degrade the paint on you car aas well as providing an
unnecessary nuisance. Why then do so many cars sit beside homes
without the protection of a carport? The only answer I can think of is
money! To eliminate this problem, I have devised this low cost carport
plan using economical pressure treated lumber to make a sturdy frame
for a fabric roofed carport. The pressure treated framework is very
strong yet economical. It allows you to get your cars under a fabric
roofed carport right away for only a small cost. You can also add a
hard roof later if so desired. You'll get complete plans for a low
cost double carport.
Mower style Line Trimmer
Make your own heavy duty weed and grass line trimmer. The lawn mower
style design makes it much easier to mow large areas of high weeds and
grass with more power and a larger cutting area than the hand held
trimmer style. You'll get complete plans, drawings and pictures for
building your own mower/trimmer from easy and inexpensive materials.
Abrasive Cut-off Attachment
If you work with metal then you might need this little device. It
turns an ordinary circular saw into an abrasive metal cutting saw that
clamps and cuts metal at a 90 degree angle. The attachment is made
from ordinary angle iron and hardware. It is a very low cost project
that can be done in a weekend. Retire that hack saw and save your arm.

This low cost method of building a concrete patio is easy to use and
understand. It is a great project to use concrete and pressure treated
lumber to make a very useful patio for your family. Ride bikes, play
sports, barbeque, have partys or just relax. It is a great project for
adding a great new feature to your home.

Build a Joggle Board
Joggle Boards were very common around the coast line of South
Carolina in the early 1900's.
It is a cross between a park bench and a rocking chair. Kids and or
adults can use it to joggle. That is to bounce on the board and rock
back and forth on the rocker supports. I guess it gives the feeling of
being at sea. Today the Joggle Board can be a great piece of deck
furniture. It has a very pleasant rocking motion that anyone can use.
It is an easy and inexpensive project and you will be the only one in
your neighborhood with one. A great conversation piece.
Inflatable Pool Heater
Inflatable Pool Heater Plans Heat your inflatable pool or spa with
something you probably already have. This is a low cost project that
uses your existing gas grill to heat the water in your inflatable
"kidde" pool or spa. The project does not alter your grill in any way
and it can still be used to cook with just as before. I used the
project to heat my spa. It heats it very effectively. Using this
setup, you can heat approximately 100 gallons of water in 4 hours.
That means you can heat cold fresh drawn water to a very pleasant
temperature you or your kids will love! This is a low cost, easy
project that you can assemble for under $40. I'll give you complete
details, drawings and instructions to assemble this simple method of
heating your inflatable pool or spa with your gas charcoal grill.
Folding Ping Pong Table
I've always loved Ping pong but never had the space or money to buy a
table. I finally realized that if we rearranged our furniture we just
might have enough room to squeeze a table in. I needed a table that
would fold up so it could be placed out of the way at times. These
plan do just that and is my original idea as far as I know. This table
is 4
