Day 153–Project Tiki Torch

Justin and I have a few favorite shows that we cuddle up to and enjoy watching together after the kids to to bed.  One of our current favorites is Yard Crashers on the DIY network.  Because of the show, Justin wants to do all kinds of over-the-top back yard projects like installing a water feature, outdoor fireplace and french drains, even though we don’t need them.  I just smile and nod when he starts talking about doing “projects”.   He is not a project-person (although he is really good at picking up the phone to get professionals on the job).  Instead of digging up the yard, he started with a smaller project…thankfully.    

We have a lot of mosquitos this year to do the excess rain and living by the lake.  So, Justin came up with his very own self-created DIY project.  Today, he went to the home-improvement store and created these tiki torch stands.  He put pvc pipe into a pot, poured Quikrete around it, then slid the torches right into the pipe to hold it upright.  We have 4 of these on the 4 corners of our deck that keep us from being eaten alive in the evenings.  Good job honey.
