I'm frankly surprised this place isn't doing better with their all AZ grown plants and rock bottom prices. The new nursery on 7th St and Bethany is offering a free tree with coupon just for visiting their location. The coupon is in the ValPak book.…

update:
Just found out my neighbor had an infestation in his garage and he now uses an "ultrasonic repellent noise machine" to keep them out so now they are hanging in my yard!
I am bringing the food and water at night and have no brush in my yard.…
I think bees are wonderful so I will be there
I've done a lot of container water gardens but never with a wood barrel. I have talked with others who have and it can work, but leaking is an issue. I've seen plastic inserts made specifically for these 1/2 barrels but I would just use a piece of p…

I had an email that I apparently didnt send to you, and I dont have anymore.
Heres some more numbers/dollars.
Each corner attachment is $50 it includes a combination of:
Turnbuckle or clip, 2" X 2" tubing with holes for attaching and bolting, 2 expansion bolts or lag screws with shields, quick link and shackle.
A package of JB weld epoxy is $10 and will work on 3-4 attachment points.
A Triangle or Rectangle with sides less than or around 10' are $50 (I have odd shaped scraps too so dont be afraid to ask for custom anything)
More than 1 triangle.rectangle sail can use an attachment (so 2 or more can share one attachment (but will have an up charge for hardware).
You were supposed to send me pictures. I looked at the video, after searching the site cause the link didnt work, but it didnt show enough :(
Exact measurements are crucial to make this work. Have your husband hold the end of a tape measure and get wall to wall. You can use paint bucket to draw the measurements (include the North arrow). I know thats a lot of work, but budget takes work! Thank you!
I have a few concerns about working with a school. But I'm brave.
If this is a public institution, the bureaucracy could make this more than a project about bringing some fun and functional shade. Plus public institutions can have a variety checks that need to be met. I can do it and would like to talk to you about how you would like this to proceed.
My email address is sylatupa@mail.usf.edu
I would like to come by the school please email me the address and your phone number.
We actually live in Cordes Junction -- take I-17 north to the Prescott exit and that's Cordes right there at the exit. If you go right, it's a subdivision, if you go left it goes to Arcosanti.
BTW the picture is adorable!
It sounded better when she said it :(
I find myself with free time this summer though and, if provided a list of Pacs would be willing to call them to find out how many children are actually enrolled so you would have a better idea of your shortage. I could also help gather donations for raffles or volunteer gifts. I served twice as a board member of our PTO, have chaired our nature Studies Program for the past 3 years and have worked in a volunteer capacity with several nonprofits going back 15 years.
I just spoke with Jen Dunsworth and turns out you know about Rhonda's Inspired Birthdays. You probably know about Heights 'cause Rhonda's children go there. Jen was my co-pres of the PTO back in 2005. She says hello and if you attend canning on Saturday you'll get to meet her.
Heights is at 7150 N. 22nd St and I think the program is Madison Adventure Club. Krista Yocum runs that program.
let me know if I can help,
Nichol
