Weekend Round-up: Solar Lamps, House Pooling, and an Awesome Fire Pit

ads>

Well, like I said two weeks ago, if I tried to commit to a round-up every week, I’d certainly fail. Good thing I didn’t, ’cause I didn’t get to post one last weekend. This week I did get some time, and here’s three things worth looking at over your weekend:

Number 1: Todd @ Home Construction Improvement is giving away a free set of Malibu Solar Lamps. All you have to do is leave a comment on the post to enter the sweepstakes. Our entry includes aliens

Number 2: Jim @ Blueprint for Financial Prosperity ran a funny article on House Pooling – something we might all have to do if energy costs keep skyrocketing. The consensus of most of the commenters was that Jim’s version of the idea might not save too much money, but the idea is interesting – and we all might need to employ strategies to save on home energy costs in the future.

Number 3: Last but not least, the coolest home project I saw this week was Jennifer’s outdoor firepit at Tiny Old House. The whole fire pit area looks very inviting! Makes me sad that our firepit is on 6 red brick squares on our deck…

Ok, that’s it for this week. Stay tuned for more!
