I know that Chris has been stressed a lot lately, work stuff and just adjusting to a new life. He's done great, he's always my rock. But he's also easier to read than a board book. So I always know when something is bugging him. So today I set out to make sure I did something nice for him. I always try to take good care of him (oh shut up, not in a naughty way) things like noticing his daily vitamin was empty, and today I feel like I went a bit above and beyond to bring his mood up. I cleaned the deck, and did this really cool project for his deck garden. We've been saving these soup cans. (sometimes our deck has a lot of "garbage" but I swear all of it has a purpose for reuse)
So I started this project with 13 soup cans, all different shapes and sizes.
 |
| I drilled holes through the bottoms of the cans with Chris' drill (oh yeah!) that way they have drainage. I am not a garden savvy person but Chris always tells me that drainage is super important. |
 |
| I crazy glued hooks from Targets picture hanging section |
 |
| Pretty Paint Colors! I ended up doing 3 coats on the cans to get a truly even coating. Trying to paint tin is a pain in the ass |
 |
| Spray painted and drying. Our whole deck stinks right now. Next time I'll paint them down stairs in front of the apartment of the assholes below us. |
 |
| Again with the power tools, I drilled pilot holes into the balcony and screwed in these little hooks. |
 |
| And voila ! |
