My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

New Project - Wind spinners

16 years ago

This popped into my head one night - hhhmmmmm.......something that spins with the wind.

I made these 2 "prototypes" to see if it worked - and I'll be darned - it does !! They spin in the breeze ! These are really rough - my soldering is sloppy & I see how I could improve them.

This is the first one I made :

{{gwi:180811}}

{{gwi:180817}}

The leaves are from the GW ... The marble on top is the pivot point that makes it spin.

Here's my second one -- I decided to use a solar light on the top of the spinner. (Also has GW leaves & plastic beads ) It spins & sparkles in the sun.

{{gwi:180819}}

{{gwi:180820}}

Like I said - these really need tweaking - but the idea is there !
