Bleach design shirt

This project is super easy and turns an ordinary shirt into a one of a kind in a minute.

Choose your piece of cloth and shaped stickers or tape. Put bleach in a spray bottle and set aside. Place a piece of cardboard behind cloth. Tape design or put stickers on the cloth. Spray once or twice over design. Promptly remove stickers or tape and rinse with warm water in the bathtub.
Only spray once to three times or it will be too much bleach. I learned this the hard way, now I have a shirt that is all bleached out with no cool design.
Wash cloth like you normally would after rinsed thoroughly.
Experiment and be safe, it is toxic.

Build your own chicken coop

To build a coop:
Frame, chicken wire, walls, floor, roosts, nesting box, heat lamp, and access doors (wheels, if you want it mobile)

It is easy and beyond beneficial to raise your own hens.

Eggs
Meat
Compost eater and producer
Bug and weed killer
Mini tillers
Lawn mowers

The chickens eat the compost and turn it directly into usable compost that they till into the ground all within a matter of hours. Also while they are weeding, what a great pet!!!!!!!!




My coop has 10 hens and 2 roosters which you would think would be too much for my tiny coop but it's not. All the hens huddle on the roosts together and use the same nesting boxes. No room is needed because the hens would not use it. I move my coop daily, slowly so I don't run over my pets.

The picture above they are out which they usually are not. My yard is not chicken proof which I learned the hard way. There are more pictures of the coop here.

I built a pen out of pallets to wheel the coop up to so the chickens could have a semi permanent location. I move this pen once a month and the grass always grows back.
