need advice on making pedestal for bird bath
Comments (5)I bought a mold for a pedestal and it works really well. shown here but you have to as k them to buy the pillar mold seperatly.http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBay ISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8201187027&category=83897&tc=photo I don't know what the matrial is but it is a sheet of white plastic of some kind that is 16" x 40". This is for making a 16 " tall pedestal that is 6" across. You get the 6" by rolling like a poster to get the size you want and tape it securely with duct tape or ? ? The over lapping gives the form strength so It doesnt bow out , And withstands the rubber mallet tapping every few inches to get rid of air bubbles. You can stack and cement 2 together for a taller pillar . but who's gonna move it ? LOL Dufuss me couldn't wait to get to HD , thinking maybe a formica overlay would work . HAH ! NOT ! The tube is filled standing upright on a piece of cardboard which leaves a clean end and does not stick. I did see the imprint from the pop cans that were in the cardboard tray . Sooooo folks , gotta find out what and where this plastic sheet material is. Yer supposed to get at least 50 castings from it. Beats buying sonatubes , unless you will only be casting one piece.

Comments (6)If you have cats in your area, it's best not to plant anything under a birdbath. Bird baths, as well as feeders, should be located in an open area without any plants close by where predators can hide and jump out to ambush the birds. Birds like to be able to surveil their surroundings when they are at a bird bath or feeder. It's also good to have some mature shrubs/trees within 10-15 feet to give the birds some cover where they can escape hawks, or preen themselves after bathing. Sorry I don't have any suggestions, I would only plant something pretty short around a bird bath....See MoreHe Meant Well thread

Comments (40)Hi Slow! Late to the party, just wanted to send my regards. I love your yard, and, of course, all of the pretties in it. It has such a nice "vibe", too- I would love to be surrounded by such whimsical creations (not to mention the beautiful flowers and plants). There is a wealth of textures and little things to catch your eye... Once my guys are older (they are 1 and 3 at the moment), I hope to have an English style garden in my little yard (I live in a sort of "city" area, and out yard is very small), but, for the moment I have to keep everything kid proof. :-) I can dream, though- I love your gate, too! Cheers, Jenny...See MoreSoshana Dos
