Macenna, I know you’ll appreciate this: I had a man encounter me at my place of business, he asked me if he could speak to the manager. I smiled back, and asked him how I could help. He paused, looked aggravated and said firmly, “No, I want to speak to the MAN IN CHARGE!”
I continued to smile (with effort) and said, “Sir, I AM the man in charge!”
🙄😂💪
I would have loved to see his face! 😂
What a pain in the butt! The guy needs to drag his antiquated thinking into they 21st century….Funny thing though, my grandmother owned a small grocery market in the 1930s into WW2. She ran the shop and my grandfather helped out as needed.
The man in charge! Wow
Go girl!
UGHHHHHH that frustrates me so much! wow! I love that " I AM the man in charge!"
I’m 33 weeks pregnant, and the entire pregnancy I’ve been very conscious to not *only* feed my brain with baby content- so to combat becoming obsessive (lol) I’ve really dove into house/styling/diy type content! Our styles are SO different, I love mid century modern, 70’s and 80’s styles, white walls lol but I still love to see how you style things and love to see someone passionate about what they do! I’ve been watching your videos almost from recent and now I’m going through older once since I just recently found your channel. Just wanted to stop by and say I love your content, it’s very relaxing and upbeat and positive and I am so thankful I found your channel!
Firstly, the loungers are gorgeous! Secondly, I'm glad you stood your ground with the vendor.
That happened to me when I was car shopping and had my boyfriend with me. We walked in the door and only my boyfriend was greeted.
When we first sat down to negotiate our salesman began directing his comment to my boyfriend. I immediately stopped him and said, "I'm the one buying the car, it's my money. He's just the chauffeur." 😂
I did some hard-hitting negotiation that day while my boyfriend remained silent the entire time.
Down with misogyny!
its kind of a blessing sometimes bc haggling can be so uncomfortable (and I feel guilty/shame) but when someone is being sexist and u can use that anger to get a good deal. i'm sure the vendor was a nice guy but he shouldn't have turned away from her to speak to the romeo and he lost out on some extra cash bc of it. Respect woman.
he's just the chauffeur!!! hahahahahah
I just commented the same thing. My husband and I just went car shopping and the very same thing happened to me. Although I’m the one who found the car, researched everything, knows all of our finances lol
When my partner and I go to the hardware store the employees are always turning away from me (the handy one) and speaking to my partner (who is not handy at all). He usually has to remind them at least twice in a conversation, “talk to her… talk to her…” Makes me love him even more!
I find it amusing when they try talking to the "man in charge" because usually before I can even say anything my husband says "Don't look at me. You're dealing with her." It's always fun to see the look on their face when they realize they just screwed up. LOVE that you stepped right up and let him know how badly he messed up with his chauvinistic attitude. 😂
My husband does the same thing. Some men will refused to look women in the eyes. My husband can see me getting furious. He will say “She in charge deal with her not me”.
Exactly!!! But it's your husband that tells them that. You don't put your hand over his mouth to stop him from telling that person that. I think it's great she stuck up for herself, she just did it in an extremely disrespectful way to the person she supposedly loves to.....what, put some random guy in his place?!? Petty as hell.
On the brightside, I think the vendor's screw up helped her get a better deal for the chairs bc she didn't feel bad about haggling. Hopefully he thinks twice next time
I think it's because she left and then brought Romeo back. I can see why he thought she was asking Romeo if he wanted to buy them.
@@3Oh3metrostation If that was an older Mexican man that interaction could've had the exact opposite effect..because of her obvious disrespect to her man, he could've told her flat out get out of my booth. Those were quality loungers and someone else would've bought them.....I just don't get why people are so disrespectful over very minor misunderstandings. She got lucky this time. Jmo😉
Macenna those are amazing loungers! If you can easily remove one of the arms from the lounger you could put it on the other so each has one arm on opposite sides... then the loungers could be pushed together sometimes to create a sweet spot for two.
Great idea and advice! I hope she sees your comment
@@denisejones1863 That is very true - I love reading so I understand this need, especially with a hardback....
@@BThirstyPretzel thank you - lounging with your favorite person by the pool sounds wonderful!
I’d love to see the loungers are chairs switched? The pool stairs right there feels cramped next to the loungers? Regardless they are so lovely! Good job standing up for yourself!!!
oooh that's a creative solution to save a few bucks. honestly, i might be weird but I kinda like the look of just one having arms. something about it idk
We own a Sailboat ⛵️ & all the woodwork inside & out. Teak is amazing outdoor wood but I do have a recommendation. Don’t let them get grey & discolored. It’s a ton of work to get teak looking like your lounger’s. Keep them covered, light sand & teak oil & teak conditioner every spring & they will last “Forever”. We have a lot of teak in & out of our boat and all the teak that is in the outer cabin & handrails I made covers for them ( it’s a lot less upkeep having the covers I highly recommend them ) ⛵️ 😁
Macenna, he spoke to Romeo because he thought you went off and brought the "purse" the guy didn't think about the man in charge he thought guaranteed sale
I'm so delighted that you spoke up to the seller when he ignored you like that. As a senior woman I could tell so many similar stories from my younger days, but nowadays I do speak up. ☹️
It is enraging, and people wonder why we get crabby after a lifetime of being ignored or dismissed. 🥴
Well done MaCenna! 🤗👍 ❤ I almost forgot to say what a fantastic deal! Omg. Teak! 😮😊
i am so so proud of you for standing up for yourself. This is your job and you know what you want. He made a mistake thinking you didn't know what you were talking about. You're probably a better handyman than he could ever hope to be
I don't think he was being disrespectful. Because you brought "THE MAN" back asking Romeo "what do you think?" Therefore, he directed his attention to "THE MAN." Don't take it personally. ❤
Agreed
I can't believe you found a replica of the chairs that you wanted from online thrifting! 🤯 it was meant to be!!! 🙌🏽 I'm happy for you, Macenna! ❤
My favorite vlog. OMG, I had to go get my husband to watch. HA!! How many times have I had to inform different people over the years that " I'm" the buyer making the deals. Even buying a car, the dealer will only look at my husband and not me when it's my purchase. The last person said to me " well, we only deal with the head of the house hold" LOL, sorry dude, our marriage is a partnership, not a dictatorship. Our gender rolls are so screwed up. OMG!! MaCenna, thank you for this today, you made my day so very special. I'm so proud of you for standing in your own power girl. YAY!! You go girl!!
Good for you MaCenna for standing your ground with the fellow selling the chaise lounge. How rude and discriminatory! Love it!
I wouldn’t shellack these beauties just let patina. I’m jealous!
Love you ❤
Depending on what country the gentleman was from, it may be the custom and he did not realize how rude he was being to Macenna....
Yes definitely more of a respect thing. If he was Mexico/Latino, older married men will direct the conversation to the male out of respect for his wife and Macenna16 .
I agree, this mindset by men needs to done away.
He actually may have innocently (and chauvinistically *lol) thought that because you didn't make the decision on your first visit and came back with Romeo that that meant he was the decision maker. You still got a great deal so kudos to you and your bargaining skills!
Don't schellak them. It's high maintenance maybe, but they'll keep up better if you oil them with teak oil once a year.
I totally agree. ❤
I'm SO glad you stood your ground and advocating for yourself!! Not always easy to do but so necessary.
Those teak wood chairs are absolutely stunning! What an incredible find. The general “rule” (I use that term loosely) for this type of outdoor furniture is… If it has arms, it’s for lounging. And if it doesn’t, it’s for sunbathing.
Can’t wait to see you create a beautiful poolside oasis.
Since you brought Romeo over to ask him questions , the gentleman, I feel thought you needed his permission or guidance. Sometimes it is that way with both men and women. I think he was confused possibly. Good find MaKenna!
As an alternative to a fire pit, a chiminea would also provide warmth, and fit in with the terracotta pots as well
@@denisejones1863 and it goes well with the style of her house!
16:04 I’m thinking the vendor thought Romeo was the buyer/ decision maker because you told him you would be right back and brought Romeo to look at them before making the final decision. I totally would feel the same way you did but maybe that’s why the vendor addressed Romeo to make the final offer ☺️ What a beautiful find and great deal. So excited to see the the backyard come together! 🧡
Yeah that would make sense if Romeo asked the question if someone's talking to you it's rude to ignore them and start talking to someone else.
@@chelseygarrett4221 I get it, like I said I would have felt the same way as MaCenna but she set him up to think Romeo was the one paying up. Her reaction was also rude to Romeo and the vendor 🤷♀️ And frankly that was already a great deal, didn’t need to haggle anymore especially if the vendor was helping out a friend. But that’s on the vendor for not knowing the value of what he was selling.
@chelsey garrett I agree with you Her reaction to was very disrespectful to Romeo and the vendor. More importantly to Romeo. She could have simply not included this in her blog altogether but, to say that the vendor assumed Romeo was the one with the money was disrespectful to Romeo.
@@velandrea Hard disagree. My partner consults me all the time on purchases he makes, but I've never had a salesperson assume I am the one paying. It only ever happens the opposite, where they assume my male partner is paying, even if I was the one asking all the questions and initially interested. You sound like you're making apologies for sexist men! they don't need your protection babe
@@nottheone582 lol you don’t know me. And we don’t know the man, we don’t know his intention. I was simply sharing a different observation. If people assume your partner is paying, simple prove them wrong. I was at Ace Hardware two weeks ago looking for longer trim screws that I had bought at Home Depot, a man working there asks me what I’m looking for and dismissively says he’s never heard of that, he even “organized the entire nails and screw section himself”. I look straight ahead and see the trim screws I was looking for. He looked surprised and said you learn something new everyday. That moment was so satisfying, I love proving men (or women) wrong but I’m not opposed to giving them the benefit of the doubt either. Everyone makes mistakes. Not making apologies for sexist men 🙄
Yesss!!! This is why I love you!! Speaking up and standing your ground! You empower woman with your content everyday!
I had this experience at Home Depot when I was starting the process for replacing my main front door & storm door. The person kept answering MY questions by looking at my partner and not me, frustrating as heck
Do not shellac them if it is teak. I did a lot of research on wood and teak furniture last year and what you need to do is re-condition them each year if you want to maintain the color (like you said). Get the Golden Care brand, it is the same brand that Restoration Hardware uses.
I second this! My daughter lived in an old turn of the last century building built with four apartments. Her apartment was the lower right side of the building and her living room overlooked the huge front porch. She bought a 36" round teak table and two armchairs so she could eat al fresco or just sit and watch the world go by in the evening. She bought good quality teak oil and put it on every year. It's been over 10 years and still going strong and still the pretty teak color. And that was even with it being left outside in 2 upstate NY winters after she moved back north!
Edited because iPhone decided to change "teak" to "teal"...
100% not shellac-ing! all the info the vendor was giving was incorrect so I definitely needed to do my own research to find the right info on them!
If they were redwood, maybe, but since they’re labeled “teak”, you know he had no idea what he was talking about.
WAY TO GO! I'm so glad you stood up for yourself!
Good job standing up to that guy. I ate it when men dismiss the woman. Go girl go!
I was yelling at the TV "Macenna buy those! Buy the bird pictures, buy them they are gorgeous!" Like a crazy woman. Also I think an ornate wall fountain would be amazing in the white wall. You could see it from inside the house and would sound beautiful when you are outside.
fountain please!
The fountain is a fabulous idea.
Wall fountain. Great Idea for that space
I was hoping she would buy those oictures! I immediately thought they would look so nice on her cutting board wall in the kitchen😮 😊
Personally I would leave the one lounger without arms bc if you’re laying down to get a nice tan sometimes those arms can cast weird shadows. nice to have the option with, and without:) great find!!!
Clematis in pots on your shed will grow ASAP AND PROVIDE MASSIVE quick coverage you'll love. They have a great variety in Color also.
One thing I learned about garage sales about 25 years ago, and I'll bet that goes for flea markets as well, is that the buyer should not dress fancy. The sellers will look at you and figure you can afford it if they jack up the price. That is especially true in cases where the items are not priced - the price changes depending on how the seller feels at the moment. Also, we used to set our automatic sprinklers very early in the morning, maybe 4am or 5am, because we were told that was the best time to water.
I always water after sundown 😊
Yes early morning. Less evaporation than there is while the sun is out AND less bacteria/fungus development than right after sunset since the water won’t sit on the leaves as long. ❤
I agree on both counts. Probably wearing a Prada bag and $140 sneakers may not get you rock-bottom prices!
I think growing a jasmine on that trellis would be lovely. The perfume would be heavenly in that space.
MaCenna I wanted to let you know that NataLee from design's to the nine's here on RUclips mentioned you in a video this morning. She took your idea of cabinet doors and made them for under 100. 00 dollar's. Can't wait to watch this video. And as I told her I absolutely love the two of you because you ladies are showing all of us we can do anything we put our minds to do. Thank you so much for all of your hard work and sharing your life with us 🤗💓💕💞
Yes she did and I can't wait to redo my bathroom also.
Those loungers were absolutely meant to be and they look stunning in your backyard. Color wise they are just perfect. He definitely didn’t know who he was messing with! Good for you for standing up for yourself in that moment.
I feel so nerdy saying this but plants don’t like to be moved a lot so try to move them very little, but also, if the sprinklers water the pots from their current location just be mindful of the sprinkler location in their new spot. Their just so beautiful 😍
Imagine years from now Macenna’s houses are part of an estate sale and these young people find these videos and see all the love Macenna felt for her thrifted finds.. it would just be so cool 😭
Look into Solo stove instead of a traditional fire pit - portable, accessories and doesn't throw smoke like the other types. We love ours!
I love you hahaha that’s amazing you stood up for yourself and then we’re like “annnd it’s on now for haggling” 😂👌🏼good for you!
The absolute GALL of that guy looking to Romeo first. If I had a dollar for every time I've been disregarded as a woman, I'd be a millionaire...but I also work in a male-dominated field. Good on you for standing up for yourself! And getting those chaise loungers at such a deal! They're beautiful.
Great find on the chairs. Don’t use anything but oil on them-you will wind up needing to strip them. We had a pool for 30 years with a lot of landscaping around it so I feel your pain. Good idea to vacuum it-some plants will stain the bottom surface if you leave it there. Your roses are beautiful!
Looks like you also have a fig tree amongst your lemon trees behind your loungers. The leaves are beautiful. Enjoy your space!
It’s common for foreigners to deal with a man out of respect of a wife lol. Darling you wouldn’t understand. Don’t take it personal,it’s a culture thing. love the loungers so beautiful.
That used to happen to me a lot. Went into Lowe’s one time with my husband and I was telling the guy at the construction desk what I needed and he turned to my husband and started asking him questions instead of me. Hubs looked at him and said I have no idea … she’s the one doing this not me. He very grudgingly turned to me and asked for someone different to help with my order. It is infuriating!
I’m so glad that you spoke up and took control of the situation. You got an amazing deal on them good for you. You go girl and keep doing you GOD BLESS.🙏🏾🥰💖💯💫
Heck yes Queen! You tell him ❤ I feel the same when I email my apartments a question and they reply only to my boyfriend (who wasn't on the email). I can't imagine in person. So glad for the killer finds!
Two things that make me so mad are when people assume I can't do something because I'm female or when they assume my husband is the person in charge. Disrespectful is right and good for you for speaking up for yourself!
Can you take the right arm off and put it on the right of the opposite and then they can each have an arm which would allow them to be pushed together (for snuggles nights by the pool)?
That is a Brilliant Idea!
Target and Walmart have perfectly sized chaise cushions and probably a side table. Target has good outdoor and garden items. A magic eraser will clean up the paint on the trunk.
Y’all were determined!! I always keep bungee cords in a cubby in the back of my small SUV. You just never know! So happy you found the loungers; what a super good price!! 😮😊👏👏👏♥️
Everyone needs a pair of ratchetstraps in their trunk for this reason 😊
@@leorising8074 ratchet straps would be the best option! 😊👏👏👏
I definitely need to start keeping some in the car for sure!
@@xomacennavlogs That and a tarp in case it rains and your trunk can't shut or you need so prevent something from scratching. I have old towels in my car for those situations.
DIY your own planter umbrella … lots of options
YES QUEEN - what an excellent sample you’re setting for women who are so often dismissed. That kind of strength is really lovely to see/hear about. Proud of you
Omg, thank you for sharing that experience at the flea market cause now I’m thinking this happens to me all the time! I am the one who is always trying to negotiate a better deal and they will look over me and try and deal with my husband, I always took it as a joke like “oh maybe you’re more reasonable” but you’re totally right, they never think I’m the one with the wallet!
I kinda like that one doesn’t have arms. They can serve different purposes. The one with arms is for just chilling by the pool reading a book etc. The one with arms is for suntanning cuz the arms would be restrictive if you wanna lie on your belly and tan your back
Clematis would be really beautiful on your gazebo. It’s a gorgeous plant 🌱. Flowers 🌺 summer to fall, comes in a variety of colors, easy to grow, it’s a perennial so comes back bigger & better every year, & it’s not a thick heavy vine, so it will not break your gazebo/trellis.
Yep, I've stood and looked around an appliance store for a good 30 mins, before my husband walks in to meet me not even there 2 mins and salesman pounce on him. Without batting an eye he says "help my wife" 😂
When I worked for Sears they taught us that a couple is better to close a sale than just one of the two. That’s because negotiations could go nowhere when the person says “I can’t make the final decision without my [husband/wife/partner].”
Oh my gosh, that happened to me with a car salesman. I came in to buy a car. And the salesman told me to bring my husband in. I was shocked! I told him I wasn't married, so he said how about you father? I said no....do you think I don't know how to buy a car? He chuckled. And I told him he just lost this sale, cuz I had already done my research and knew exactly what I wanted. But since he was such a jerk there would be no sale. And it was going to be a cash sale, because I'd been saving up my money. Idiot!
they dont like cash sales though
How old was that guy?! I assume older (I hope). What an idiot
Omg, you're expressions during this video were the best! I felt like I was sitting on that lounger next to you while you were telling about the interactions with the seller. You go girl! Great score.
Can I just say how much I love your opening intro? I love all the photos and the song is just perfect. Everytime the music starts I find myself singing along and I get all excited like my favorite show is about to start ☺️
Such a good deal! I love the way you get so excited. The arms are great to have when you are sitting upright; however, it’s my opinion that the arms really get in the way when you want to lay on your stomach. Try it. I think you will like having one with and one without!
Your enthusiasm is so catchy. Makes me smile every time. 😅
Good for you girl. Who doesn't love a bargain.
YOU GO GIRL!! Standing up against that vendor's AUDACITY to look to the man next to you. YOU ROCK MACENNA! I hope he remembers that and maybe doesn't do that again!
It was meant to be! If anyone deserves a rockstar deal, it's you, Romeo & sweet Kinsly🐾
If you do decide to DIY the lounger covers, terry cloth is a great fabric at a pool😘
Hi MaCenna, I have a suggestion on the loungers; remove the right arm on the lounger and put it on the other lounger so each would have an arm.
So who else is waiting for the video of MaCenna going "You guys, I bought the arms for the lounger"?
The trunk had thick leather straps (above the writing,at 28:24) for handles,they lay flat then curve out so that you can put your fingers underneath to carry it. I have my grandfather’s trunk that he used to come here from Germany a hundred years ago and the sides look exactly the same.
To be fair, maybe the guy thought it was Romeo's call since you brought him to see them. Although that is very common. We can cut the guys some slack. It takes time to get used to changes 😁 The loungers were the deal of the year!
The Chaises you found are great!! A ceramic garden stool would look beautiful against the wood and the brick
Tip to keep the flatbread from being soggy. Buy a pizza screen. Should help keep the flatbread crisp. I use mine for pita pizza.
It’s so funny hearing you talk about this because I just experienced something similar when buying a car with my husband. I am the one who did the research, found the car and does most of our finances. The sales man would look at my husband when he asked questions and when I asked questions he almost seemed annoyed. This honestly happened at a few different lots we visited. I think after I got married I notice it a lot more now
Topanga Canyon-my old stomping grounds in the 70’s! Beautiful slice of California nature.
Climbing jasmine (Star Jasmine) would look gorgeous on the pool cover lattice. It also smells amazing!
Just a thought but maybe because you brought Romeo over that he assumed he had the final say🤷♀️
Anyone else who has adopted MaCenna's mannerisms and the way she says "OBSESSED" and "d'you know what I mean?"? Just me? Damn hahaha
McKenna, if you keep those banana peels and you put them in a blender and blend them into liquid and pour them around your vegetables and some of your plants they will Love you! You paid for it. You might as well use the fertilizer😂😊
You can also just put them in water for a day or two and water your plants with the water. Less work, same benefit! I never just toss banana peels!
23:58 A cute idea for Sun coverage over the chaises would be something in the way of a drapey-canopy-tent type situation. The organic shape of it would be really soft and pretty. Congrats on the great flea market find! And congrats on standing your ground in a firm but respectful way. Also for not trashing him afterward. You are a class act.
Macenna, I know you’ll appreciate this. I’ve had a man encounter me at my place of business, he asked me if he could speak to the manager. I smiled back, and asked him how I could help. He paused, looked aggravated and said firmly, “No, I want to speak to the MAN IN CHARGE!”
I continued to smile (with effort) and said, “Sir, I AM the man in charge!”
🙄😂💪
MaCenna, I’m so jealous!!! They just don’t have flea markets like this in Ohio. Why why!!!!!!
So happy for all your amazing finds! Many blessings to you forever❤😊
Your pool patio area is very beautiful with those chaise lounges! Just gorgeous .
I would have reacted the very same way with the flea market guy talking to Romeo instead of you. Glad you got the price you wanted and stood firm! Now the crazy plant lady in me is screaming for you to save those banana peels and keep them in a big bucket of water and use that water to water your roses and flowers. when the peels get oohygooy just dig a small hole near the rose bush and bury them. keep adding peels and water and your garden with blow you away with their blooms.
You brought Romeo over so maybe he thought it was up to Romeo because you didn’t make the deal before getting Romeo.
Good for you Macenna for standing up for yourself. Just from hearing this gentleman’s accent… he may culturally have the belief system that the man handles all finances ect. But you did well and stood your ground 👍🏽👏🏽
Those loungers are gorgeous and they fit perfectly in that space. I almost think they are kind of neat being a little different with one having arms and wheels and the other not.
And I loved the story you told about the gentleman selling them. Hopefully after that encounter he will change his way of interacting with customers. I can't even count how many times I have been dismissed or overlooked simply because I was with a man, even though I was the purchaser. My mom had a very strong personality so I learned from the best, as I see you have as well.
Also! I have an in ground pool the best thing we have invested in was a robotic pool cleaner they are pricey but SO worth it. It’s exactly like a robotic vacuum cleaner but for the pool some you can even control with an app. Life changing trust me!
The Kingsley sun loungers were meant to be. Congratulations. I like your other beautiful finds, too.😀
I have a chair's from this company and they've worn like iron. Great luck! Don't add the under tray, it's just a spider home. I lightly sand and use a teak clean/refinisher but not every year. Still Teak brown, not grey. Score!
I love Romeo’s treasure trunk ❤
You manifested those lounges ❤
Sounds like that seller royally stepped in it there. I'm glad it worked out in your favor and maybe he (the seller) learned a little something from it.
Clematis is a BEAUTIFUL climbing flower that would work perfectly on the lattice!! Love your videos!!!❤️
Hey MaCenna. I’ve been watching your series with my wife and I have to say Thanks for being a wholesome inspiration for my wife. Between you and DIY WIFE, she’s found her ZEN with you mostly. 🙏🏾
My comment to you is this. You are working on two homes and you normally go to Estate Sales, and Flea Markets, Hone Depot and so forth. Why haven’t you invested $3000-$6500 in a solid 2 or 4 door Long Bed Pickup 🛻 Truck? A good solid Ford or Chevy would save you the trouble and drama of worrying whether if something will fit in the car or not. 😊😊 That’s all. Hope this message reaches you. My wife’s name is Diane BTW. 😅
OMG,yes to buying a truck,van,sprinter,something!!!!!!!! How does Romeo bring all of his clothing,racks,tent,etc to the flea markets?
They’re perfect, *exactly* what you were looking for! And well done for standing up for yourself!
Excellent find MaCenna❣️ Vendor didn't know what he had. Loungers are approximately $1400-1600 each! All you need now are cushions, an umbrella, & a cocktail.😄
Put the pan in the oven as it’s preheating. That’s how you get the bottom crispy
I watch your channel, my husband listens while looking at his phone. Your story time made his ears perk up! He actually looked up as you were sharing your market experience and actually had an opinion about it! 😂 We have 4 kids that aspire to be self-made, like you. Self-advocating is so important! My husband Brett was like, "Yes! That's right!" So glad you stood up for yourself. We love you. Keep inspiring us! Tip* Flatbread will crisp more evenly if the heat can circulate around it. Try throwing a heavy duty stainless steel baking/cooling rack onto the sheet pan, spray with olive oil, place your amazing recipe on top of that to bake!😋
So happy you found the lounge chairs you were looking for!!!
That’s awesome. If you ever worry about getting something home see if the there is Home Depot near by they do 4 hour and all day rentals for vans and trucks for $20
Love how everything in the pool area is coming together. What a blessing!!!
I jumped the gun…of course you would figure out how to purchase the arms given how savvy & smart you are!! Way to go!!
Amazing find!!!! God was on your side for sure with that one ❤😊
Jasmine on the pool shed!! It’s a climbing vine and smells SO good when it blooms. It’s a small white flower, very dainty and pretty.
What a deal! Good for you for correcting the guy at the market.
for a fire pit! Definitely consider a solo stove. they are smokeless and safe to be around pets bc they prevent the ambers from flying a round. We have one and absolutely love it.
