About Me

My photo
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States
I live in the Brighton Heights Neighborhood of the City of Pittsburgh PA and recently certified my yard as a wildlife habitat. please feel free to check out my Blog and I hope you enjoy it.When I first bought my property the house was in disrepair and the yard was nothing but dead grass over grown weeds and garbage. It is now a habitat that provides wildlife with the four basic requirements needed to thrive. These are food, clean water, cover from predators, and places to raise young. I have provided these in my small space and will continue to improve on these elements of my garden. I am also an artist and I get a lot of inspiration from my garden. I am fascinated with tiny houses and enjoy cooking and music. I have two adopted cats from a rescue, and I have a one eyed cat that was a stray and needed surgery so I took her in. They are all house cats so they do not tear up my wildlife habitat. They do enjoy sitting in the windows looking at the other animals that visit my yard.

Finished a new project to make my life easier.

I have been working the last few weeks in the church yard and it is looking good. I think I have also been doing it because I am putting off jobs I do not like to work on. Today I did one job that I have been dragging my feet on for a long time. My friend Francis has a drill that can was able to go through my stone foundation and he drilled a hole so I could run plumbing for a new water spigot. I have been wanting a spigout on both sides of the house now ever since I bought the place and today my wish came true. It was easier to install than I anticipated because I used shark bites to run it. They are great because you can easily go from copper to CPVC and there is no glue or solder involved. This will make my watering the yard a lot easier and save me a lot of time. I was dreading having to do the plumbing but once I figured out what I wanted to do it was easier than I anticipated.
