Tennis ball helper
It's always good to have a little help around the house. That's why we
love this handy tennis ball helper. Use him to hold your keys, mail,
pen, or anywhere you need an extra hand, er, mouth.
To make: Cut a
slit in a tennis ball using a box cutter or sharp knife. Add rivets or
google eyes. Hang him on the wall by a nail or suction cup in the back
of his "head."

Old piano turned into outdoor fountain
(Idea by Bill Metzgar) This piano is an 1885 Steinway. It had really bad
termite damage to the inner structure so yes, it was beyond repair. It
was turned into a fountain for Bill's mom for Mother's Day. It has a
2000 gallon per hour pump in the pond and a flex hose from the pump up
into the piano where a construction of pvc pipes was used to distribute
the water across the keys. It was sealed with fiberglass resin. Feel
free to send some questions to b.metzgar@live.com.
