We're gonna make an ottoman out of an old tire,
a piece of lumber, some quarter inch rope,
and a hot glue gun.
Then you have a three quarter inch sheet of plywood here
that we're going to take a screw gun,
we're gonna screw this on.
Do you want to do this?
No. Definitely not.
No, no no.
Okay, so we're going to screw this into the tire
because again the tire is not being used
at all anymore for the sense of what the tire
was initially used for.
We're gonna screw that on like so,
and then we have this rope here,
and we're gonna find the center point of
the piece of plywood, and we're gonna use the glue gun.
Everybody, if you don't have a glue gun,
you should have one at your house,
because they are the most fantastic things.
And if you're into DIY, they're the best.
You can kind of do anything.
I do love a glue gun.
And then you just put a couple little dabs here,
if you wanna try.
Sure!
I know how to glue using a gun.
Using a glue gun is obviously one of the most
simplest things, and of course for DIY projects.
How much does a tire cost these days,
like how much for the raw materials of this?
This all together here we'll probably spend,
well definitely under $30.
Wow!
So very inexpensive.
So what we're gonna do is just start winding
this twine all the way around.
Yeah, 'cause you could buy a used tire.
But what we're gonna get
once we start winding it around.
Look at this, come on guys!
That's cool!
(clapping)
And it's extremely sturdy, stand on it,
I mean it's durable, and firm. That's really cool.
Like you said, you can go to a high end brand store
and you can purchase that for an enormous amount,
or you could make one and you can get the coolest gift.
Yeah, I could put this in my dressing room.
(laughter)
There we go!
Oh aye!
The next thing we're going to do is make a
little cabinet for our hose, our garden hose.
Here we have just a simple, big box store purchased
planter box.
The thing that we had to do was we had to get
these pieces cut to make this top portion of it.
I see.
So you go to the big box store,
this is just white pine,
you can use this, you can have them cut it.
We had them miter the sides if you don't have a saw.
We're simply gonna use this like so.
We're gonna finish it off here with our nail gun.
(air gun popping)
And then, what we're gonna do, in the store bought item,
we're gonna drill a hole into the side of it.
You want me to do this?
Yeah, yeah. Okay.
(power drill whirring)
There we go, yeah, yeah.
Hey we got a hole in there.
Yah we got a big hole!
(clapping)
Just like so, we have our top placement
which is gonna cover the planter box.
We're gonna some decorative plants in here or what not.
Shut up, it's right here, look!
Well let's pick that bad boy up.
Look at you!
Oh, look at this!
Oh wait a minute, that's the other end!
That goes into the spigot.
No, so that end goes into the spigot.
And then here, let's pick it up.
All right, I'm tryin'.
I'm coming. Oh, look at this.
So this end goes into the spigot,
top comes off, we put a tone on here to match the house.
And then you're hose is tucked away,
away from your house, never see it.
Okay, the last bit is exterior lighting,
and it's one of my favorite because it's so easy.
We talked about this before.
Anyone can do this.
Anybody can do it. It's so simple.
It's so easy.
There's a picture actually on the screen of my house.
That's his actual backyard.
So my backyard, I have a lot of exterior lighting
that I've put up throughout the entire backyard,
because it just illuminates that space,
and you have, especially now that we're
coming into the summertime, you have so many opportunities
to just expand your home,
the interior of your home to the outside,
with these exterior lights.
And again, just beautify the garden, the landscape,
but a lot of people get worried about it
because they don't wanna run the lines,
they don't wanna run the wire or the lights,
so we have a solution for that.
This is brilliant.
Seriously, anybody could do this.
I could do this.
Yeah, you could do this.
And I can't do anything but cook, but I could do this.
Well, this is solar lights, right?
Solar lights, the lumens are not as high with solar lights.
But still, they work just the same,
they're still great for the outdoor.
The one problem that I do have is that all
landscape lighting, even you saw in that picture,
it's very low, it's like ankle high right?
So it's just really low around the yard.
So what we have here is we have a floor lamp.
Pretty much college floor lamp, your first home,
your first apartment floor lamp that everybody has.
Oh yeah, we all got 'em.
They're probably in the basement somewhere.
They're in the garage or the basement,
but we still have 'em.
So what you do is you take this floor lamp,
and as long as it is not plugged in,
you can simply just cut the cord here like this.
That's gonna be fine, just make sure
it's not plugged in, all right?
And then you take one of these solar lamps,
and which usually is probably about 12 to 18 inches,
you remove the bottom portion of it,
put it into your floor lamp,
you're existing floor lamp that was inside,
and we have a little putty inside, but you can
use exterior caulking if you want just to fill it.
And it makes like a torch!
It is, it's exactly like a torch.
And you just put your hand over it,
and look at that, we have a nice little light.
(clapping)
Put those a little farther away on your back yard.
Very cool!
(clapping and cheering)
