It's Tip Tuesday! 🌸 Do you add water to your planting hole before setting your plants? You should! Along with a fertilizer too. Your plants will have a good start and roots take hold faster and be healthier! ⁠
🌸 It's been so dry in VT this year that everything had to be cut back a lot see in my stories today! ... It won't be long before they look this good again..I hope! ⁠🤞

It’s Tip Tuesday!
I know- it’s been a long time since I’ve shared a good tip! It’s been kind of crazy busy lately since we’re almost ready to start construction on the tiny homes for Sugar Maple Mountain Retreat 🤷‍♀️… anyhoo - I always test to see what kind of paint is on something before painting! 👉The best way? Rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab. If the color comes off onto the cotton, it’s latex paint if not, it’s oil based paint and I can choose the right type of paint for my project!!

AD: Guess what? My latest DIY Project required no DIY skills! I just fixed my broken bathtub stopper with SimpliQuick Tub Fix by Watco and in less than 5 minutes it works perfect again and looks great! Nope, you won’t need to remove your old drain, ☞ and see. Yes, it fits ALL drains with a universal fit. It’s got a pin adapter if you have crossbars, or in my case, where they were broken the silicone adhesive held my SimpliQuick Tub Fix in place. It's so easy! There are different finishes to match bath hardware. There’s a built in strainer to catch hair and stop items from going down the drain too. Find it here https://lnk2.io/wKBHyG7 I wish I’d known about this years ago, this tub and a big bottle of bubble bath would have had a lot more use.

There was a big blank wall in our master bath. Swipe ☞ I needed a very budget friendly…(meaning cheap!) way to add color. It worked! Grab my free fish templates on my website, H2OBungalow.com. Search “Fish”. You can easily make these out of vinyl too!

No wood burning tool required! I had questions on how I added the rope outline on my napkin holder yesterday. This is what I used (affiliate link) ☞https://amzn.to/3GK5ubq 🔗 in bio too! just write on and use a heat gun. SO easy and quick! ⁠

Yesterday, I challenged you guys to guess what I made with a few scraps of wood, 2 pipe clamps, a hitch pin and a box of saran... hint: If you pull the cutter off the Saran you get a pretty nifty paper cutter. It took me a year to find the right items to cut the paper on my idea of a DIY note-holder! ⁠

Such an easy and useful DIY project! I use this ALL the time! Tutorial on H2OBungalow.com search "Note Holder" ⁠
