Ah, so that's where the old clothes go we put in the textile recycling bin.

The ones that some company promises get "reused" or "recycled". I guess burning them on another continent counts as one of those.

Been wondering what the truth is behind the corporate copywriting.

Everything AND the kitchen sink…

I took this photo today after doing a thorough cleaning of the kitchen sink.

These 1950s sink/cabinet combos are great. In my view, modern sink/counter systems are really less practical and more prone to problems with water damage.

I rescued this sink 30 years ago from an abandoned house that was about to be bulldozed.

I present you the rarest of animals on our little homestead: A finished project!

A fence-straddling firewood store for the sauna on the other side and some nice fruit tree logs for the #wheelbarbie on this side.

Also currently onion+garlic drying station. It's so good at that, I'll definitely keep the feature.

Made from old concrete pylons I pulled out of the garden, some scrap steel, some logs that were destined to be firewood, a couple recycled shack planks, a lot of old sheet metal riveted together and an ancient roll of tar paper.

Total cost about €30, mostly for paints and a few screws. Bonus: Less junk laying around!

I have an old dishwasher sitting around destined for the scrap yard, but I want to pull a few pieces off that might be useful (heading element, etc). I have an idea to use the circulation pump as a garden water pump from my future rain barrels. Anyone out there done something similar? Is it simple to wire up with a simple on/off switch? Any way to power it with solar and batteries even though it's 110v A/C? #upcycle #repair #garden #diy #fixit #reuse #tinker #maker #solarpunk

The final version of the pouch for my CD player made out of old jeans. All it needs left is a brass zipper for the back pocket, and it'll be complete! :D

I still have enough jeans to turn into two ita bags. One to keep and one to sell. But I will be taking a break from bags for now since I still have a jacket to work on.
