AND THE TANK, AND DECORATION
There is no need to prove how important it is to have in the garden water supplies that happen with irrigation system and flower beds with lawns for the week of the July heat will turn to hay. So when my old steel tank had rusted and sprung a leak, there was an urgent need to find a replacement.
The first thing that came to mind to order the same, and then dye it and braid wild grapes, to fit into the landscape. But tank black steel is not only unsightly, it is also impractical: and roads, and rust. It is good to make the tank from aluminum or stainless steel, but the price!!! But to use such a tank may have only one season: winter comes “away” and “privatize” your treasure for scrap.
TRIPOD FOR PETS
Many of those who contain animals in the house or apartment, the familiar pattern when a dog or a cat, licking remains of food from the bowl, rides on the floor of the emptied vessel, creating an annoying noise. The situation is even worse when the animal upsets filled the bowl. But to avoid such problems is not difficult — it is necessary for the bowl to stand in the form of andirons. In the village house where there was a Russian stove (and in what house it was not?), among their cooking utensils (tagankov) was kept a few and different “caliber.”
THE WALL-SHELF

THE REFRIGERATOR… UNDER THE GROUND
A huge number of companies today produce different types of refrigerators are sophisticated in designs and various additional functions. However, all this abundance is mainly for use in apartments and similar dwellings, where the daily need products are limited within certain limits.
But if you want to save a large number of products – for example, a bountiful harvest of garden or horticultural crops? In these cases come to the aid of the cellar. Their task is to preserve fruits and vegetables during the winter. But there are many cellar devices designed for preserving food in the summer.

WHY THE “CRY” OF THE FURNACE?
Along with gas stoves and fireplaces for many gardeners often pay tribute to the various kinds of furnaces — heating and cooking options to traditional Russian. Especially in homes year-round. It is understandable: it is nice in the cold of winter to bask in the breathable warmth of the bed.
Where heating is mainly firewood, furnaces often suffer from one very serious drawback: they are condensed, that is, their chimneys accumulate a black liquid with a specific smell, which is formed by deposition of water vapor and steams of resinous substances on the walls of the chimney. Over time, the condensate permeates the masonry stove, it becomes raw and black, begins to break down, and pull flue gases to decline. Moreover, the odors are so strong that in some cases, staying at home becomes unbearable.
“CROSTIC”
So called my dad built them a simple house for rabbits. He made this Warren of wooden parts, and required metal mesh and steel latch made also by him. The roof was made of pieces of corrugated slate, freely arranged, is not fixed: due to their severity leaves lie securely; at the same time can be raised, providing easy access to the interior of the cell.
