Has anyone out there built their own oven? This idea looks like it’s been done quite a few ways. On a hot day, or on a cold one, a nice cooked meal outside with friends, without much cleaning up to do afterwards, seems kind of appealing to me.
A lot of what people are using are made out of old barrels, and they use them both standing up on end and on their sides, and sometimes cut up.
Some people also make them out of bricks, clay, fabbed metal, and other materials.
And when you put a grate on top, you can cook right against your meat, or do smoked food.
Single Story House with Porch and Vintage-style Hip Roof
Here’s a house that’s not too big and has a bright, airy interior. It’s by Rivergum Homes, and it’s a single-story dwelling with a stylish hip roof.
This house is said to be ideal for the weather conditions near the tropics — like the sub-tropical zone.
The decor is vintage styled, something that lends a particular aesthetic to being in this house.
The rear patio area also has another zone, a small corner for those who want privacy.
The open floor plan includes places many elements in a single room. The front corner of the living room has a sofa with simple wooden tables. Next to it is the dining table. And a kitchen counter.
The house also has airy bedrooms with large windows. The decor matches the simple concept of other areas in the home.
In total, the house has four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living area of 169 square meters. This one was built in Thailand for around 1.9 to 2.1 million baht ($57,000).

IDEA 1: Biodegradable disks for gardening
These are “ECO-disks,” as seen being used by Mother Earth News’ tomato garden this year. They’re biodegradable disks that they use for weed suppression and water catchment!
“With more concerns on where our foods are coming from or how healthy they are to eat, more and more people are turning their attention to growing their own fruits and vegetables. This means more gardeners will be experiencing the same challenges that we all have together as a gardening family. We know that these challenges range from weeds choking of the nutrients to our plants and seedling, limitations to time and resources for watering our plants. As well as keeping our soils and gardening area free from unwanted trash and plastic gimmicks. Well if you are the type of person that want total control of the quality of your food source, we have the product for you! ECO-disks® offer every gardener of any experience level the opportunity to increase their chances of producing a more healthy and bountiful harvest.
“ECO-disks are manufactured from a Non-GMO, BPA Free, Biodegradable, Biopolymer, which carries many approvals for Home and Composting certifications. The ECO-disks are a very uniquely designed gardening product that helps to alleviate many of the challenges experienced by not only the beginner gardener, but the most experienced gardener as well.
“Disk size: 8.5 inch disk diameter with 1.25 inch inside hole diameter.”
