Junk Mail

Disgusted by the gross amount of paper waste that pours through our mailbox each week, I shot this little protest movie. Hundreds of those prepaid return mail envelopes, largely from credit card companies and banks, end up in the trash each month. An utter waste. Each time one of those envelopes is returned it costs the companies money. I seal the empty envelope and mail it back, wasting the companies revenue. If a huge number of thepopulation did this in a co-ordinated effort, these financial institutions would get the message. No one can force them to stop the waste, but mney talks and if they waste enough of it, who knows...

Well... if you really want to help the environment and save yourself a bunch of hassle you might just try www.optoutprescreen.com

It's the official opt-out web site of the credit reporting agencies. File a permanent opt-out with them and you will stop receiving all that crap. I did it 3 years ago and it slashed the amount of junk mail I get.

DIY How To: Vanishing Fountain

Greetings. And welcome to another Just Do It DIY project. In this video I’m going to show you how I created this really cool vanishing fountain. Water features are always a great addition to your landscaping; and a vanishing fountain like this is stylish, compact and ultimately really pleasing to listen to. In the video I'll cover the following steps: 1. Assess & Design 2. Materials & Tools 3. Digging the  Reservoir 4. Building the  Reservoir  Form 5. Lining the  Reservoir 6. Installing the Aquablox 7. Installing the Pump 9. Finishing Touches Assess & Design For this project we wanted a water feature close to the front porch where we could enjoy the sound of water falling without having to build a huge pond, or fountain or waterfall. We chose a large concrete planter from a landscape supply store to use as our fountain, and to use an  Aquablox  so we could hide ...

Semanal08 : Week13 - Fun With Water & Leaves

Click to Play On a chill but pleasent spring morning, our little Sprite finds many an amusement in the back garden wonderland of fallen leaves, puddles, dirt and all manner of things to get himself filthy dirty and soaking wet. Oh well, boys will be boys. Anyhow, it keeps him busy and occupied for a time. Even if it means we have to rake up the leaves again after the G-Express ploughed through them for the umpteenth time.

Second Trimester Awards : The Sprite A winner

Today was the Kindergarten Awards Day for the second trimester and our little over-achiever took home not one, but two awards certificates. The Sprite shows off his awards One was for Excellence In Writing and the other was for a Perfect Attendance Record. The first comes as no surprize really, he has been coming along leaps and bounds with reading and writing lately. The second is astounding, compared to recent history. To not miss a single day of school through the winter months, to either sickness or laziness on the part of his parent (IE; me) is an award-worthy achievement indeed. Well done son.
