It was given to us by a friend who was moving a couple of years ago and we were just holding on to it until we got around to fixing it up..
So remember that!It’s very important if you don’t want to give yourself a heart attack!
We ran upstairs and poured each bucket down and then smoothed it out.So then we had a nice cement floor.. …or so we thought.. On closer inspection, we discovered that some of the wire was actually.floating up to the top of the layer of cement.
and leaving a bit of the top of each wire exposed to the elements.. At this point, we were well aware that had we chosen the right kit, we wouldn’t be dealing with this whole cement issue at all, so after the almost-exploding drill, the mess, and now the exposed wires that were supposed to be protected by this cement, we were not happy campers.. Oh well!You live, you learn, right?
We decided to press on and just try to be really careful when we were tiling.
The tile mortar and then the thick layer of stone tile would surely protect the wires and keep everything in place!So here he is with his tutorial for the baby gate made from an old crib!.
A few weeks ago we posted a Christmas Home Tour to showcase the Christmas decor around our house.As is common here at The Creek Line House, at least one picture inadvertently revealed a little of our ‘reality’, that is, reality of life with 2 young children.
Let’s play spot the baby gate:.Luckily this time, our reality generated a little interest and we received a few requests on how we salvage-DIYed our baby gate to cover such a large opening.
