Title: Making Silk Purses From Sows' Ears
Post by: lenape13 on October 07, 2009, 12:54:53 PM

I recently purchased 61 deep boxes and assorted other goodies for $200 from the new owners of a deaceased beekeeper's property a few hundred yards from my place. (Saved a great deal on shipping costs, too! 8-)) Been spending my free time scraping, pressure washing, sterilizing, and painting. Below are some before and after photos. Gotta love those deals on mistints....

Hmmm... since I'm rehabing highrise housing, maybe I can qualify for some HUD funds..... :roll:

Never thought of that. Perhaps we can get the Prez. to add a new cabinet position... :-\
