How To Build an Easy Bird Bath

Found this beautiful large bowl the other day and decided to make it into a bird bath with a removable bowl for easy cleaning.




Also found this plant stand and it was a perfect fit!!


 I just happened to have these old metal hooks from sticking them on my wall during christmas (plastic ones would work too!)



So I super glued them while the bowl was on the stand, so that I knew they were placed correctly.




These hooks are so that the bowl wont slide off. I loved this metal stand because it sticks into the ground and I don't have to worry about it falling over!! Turned out perfectly :)





Have a Bowl already? buy this stand on Amazon for 16$ (click on picture for link)




Buy the metal hooks too $1.25 for a pack of 6! Make sure you peel off sticker part before glueing!

What to do with your unused fireplace!

Create a new look for you unused fireplace!!!


This is what I did for mine! I am a painter, so a little more went into it. But I can give a few pointers to help you duplicate it!! I did black lines since that was the same as my fireplace. try to use the same colors as yours!

This is just some pointers for the bricks!!! Obviously painting a fire is a bit more complicated.lol :) But maybe you can just try and duplicate my colors for that.








First off on the board you need to start with drawing a box like so. This is your guidelines for bricks.

Next you add in the lines for the actual bricks, Us the actaul bricks lines for starting points for your lines. I started from the left to top.


And then the middle and next the right.


Lastly you do the bottom.

Next add in color of your bricks. you might have to go over the lines with black or whichever color you chose.

Then next after you've given your bricks color ad in the dimension of your actual bricks.
Like so.


Once youve finished those you have an "empty" fireplace instead of a board.If your not up for painting fire you could always paint some logs of wood or just a pile of hot ashes! For my ashes i splotched black and gray and then on top bright red. Good luck!

How to Upgrade memory ( RAM ) on iBook G4

Step 1.
Turn off iBook.


Step 2.
Slide down the two tabs on keyboard.


It should look like this:


Step 3.
Pull back keyboard, Dont completely lift up (flex cable is attached), tip it towards you so that the bottom is still touching iBook. You can then gently lay keyboard down.


Step 4.
Remove the 4 small philip screws.


Step 5.
Disconnect Airport cable.


Step 6. 
Remove Airport card. There is a clear plastic tab to pull back with. Lift slightly since there is a wire keeping it from sliding, but try not to lift too much.



Step 7.
Now that you have the Airport out you can lift metal plate. Just flip over with cable still attached.



Step 8.
Your Finally to the memory card! Hard parts over! 
Now just gently unclip from both sides and then slightly lift and slide out. 


Step 9.
Once you have the old card out, slide the new one in by tipping the gold end down and into the slot. Use either your finger or gently use a small flat head screw driver to pull tabs out. 


Make sure that the gold part of card is slid in as much as possible or else it may show up on iBook that it has less memory.

Step 10. 
Test it out before putting it all back together, just to make sure memory card is in all the way. 
To test turn iBook on (I recommend connecting Airport cable before turning on.) and click apple on the top left corner of screen and select "about Mac", then check if memory is what it should be. 

If it says less memory than its supposed to, then turn iBook off and try lifting card slightly and pushing it in. Test once again. 

 Here is a before and after of sliding the card in all the way. 

Before.

After

Finally, Once the memory is correct, retrace steps 8-2 backwards and put everything back where it came from.  
Your done! :)
