Art Break - Glowing Tree

There is a tree in my parent's driveway that has become naturally hollowed at the base.

I thought it would be fun to make it glow!

I didn't tell PU1 or PU2 of this plan (to incourage brain excercise as they figure out what is going on) and got some glue and glowing powder.

I liked the glue because I can thin it with water.

I waited until they were out and set to work!

Powder, glue and water.

Before.

After! :D

Once it was dry, it was a little less obvious.

Dried.

I tried to take a photo at night, but I can't get a long enough exposure.
But it looks cool!

It's eerie!
Now we wait for PU1 to notice it!

D.I.Y. Is This So Fun!? - Oven Light Switch

So the oven light switch broke AGES ago and has been a sad nub for years.

PU1 is away at the moment, so why not try to fix it and see if she notices.

I have this cap that I found, which will make a good substitute.

I put some glue and tissue in it to get the inside nice and tight.

I then stuck it on the nub.

And painted it black.

Awe yeah!

Verdict: PU1 loved it! I had to point it out, but it was very well recieved!

D.I.Y Did You Do That!? - Upper Cupboard Door

I came home from work last night to see this:

I asked what happened and apparently the screws of the door failed. 
Then someone, lets say PUx... no, that's too obvious, x2, tried to fix it.

He did this by taking the door off and trying to fill in the holes with an unwieldy acrylic cement.

This was the mess he left PU1 and myself to tackle.

So let's get some new screws.

We can reuse the old hinges.

First we need to scrape off some of that cement to get a flat surface, so the door will shut.

Why did he even use it in the first place?!

Then we screw in and glue the hinge to the door.

Babycat gave us a helping hand. 

He's the best! <3

I marked up the cupboard then PU1 and I took turns holding the door and drilling it in place. (It was far too hot today for this task)

Finished!
