I enjoy getting the projects from scrap wood
I wish I was able to get through this post. The pop ups and ads keep redirecting me. Is there a membership program or something to make this stop 😫
I would love for you to email me and let me know what pop ups you see? I don’t have pop up ads. There is a pop up email box but it should only come up once.
I’m having the same issue. So many of these great diy sites are SO overloaded with ads/pop-ups that not only can you get redirected constantly, but it’s distracting & blocks good portions of your screen (when viewing on a phone). You see far more ads on your screen than actual content. All of it is horrible while trying to read an article, follow recipes or steps in a project. Honestly, most times I will skip a page if it’s set up this way, even if it’s something I’m really interested in. It’s really a shame, you have so many great articles, but the ad clutter is so frustrating! (I looked for your email to send you screenshots, but didn’t see it listed.)
You can email me at angie@thecountrychiccottage.net so I can see what you’re referring to as pop up ads, thank you!
Amazing ideas and have tones of projects that I am currently in the process of making!:)
I have all kinds of scrap wood laying around and even some tree stumps and branches ranging 4″ to 1.5′ wide. What are some landscaping ideas you have for those supplies?
Sorry, landscaping is really not my strong suit so I don’t have any ideas for landscaping. If you come up with some share them with us!
Great tips! I will be sure to try these out after we have our neighborhood handyman over.
