DIY Autumn Decor

Fall is quickly approaching, and soon the smell of pumpkin spice and rustling leaves will fill the air. Get into the season by decorating your front porch first. Autumn decorations are generally pretty cheap, and you can even make most of them yourself. Check out some of these easy DIY crafts that will get you and your neighbors in the seasonal spirit!


Wreaths
Wreaths are one of the best go-to crafts for fall that usually have a pretty good turn out. If it strikes your fancy you can buy materials at a craft store, such as Joann Fabrics, or you can just talk a stroll through your backyard and collect some leaves and twigs - totally up to you. A little hot glue, and you're good to go!

Pumpkins
You have a lot of leeway when it comes to pumpkins. If you don't have any pumpkins easily available try looking around for local farmers that may have some for sale. Odds are they will be cheaper and better quality. Also, if you're not into carving pumpkins, painting them is a cleaner, more sophisticated look.

#SolarSunday

Having a pool to cool off and relax in is a luxury that is especially nice during these hot summer months. But, like most luxuries in life, time, energy, and money must be put into owning a pool. One of the costs associated with having a pool is the money it takes to heat a pool. If you are interested in swimming in your pool after the sun goes down or during cooler months, heating your pool is a viable option to consider. Check out some information about how solar hot water collectors can heat your pool. How does it work? Pool water gets pumped through a filter into a solar hot water collector. Solar hot water collectors are thin and generally mounted on a roof. Thin pipes of water then run through the collector. When the sun's rays hit the collector, they heat the running water inside.
