In case you’re just joining us and haven’t been around for previous incarnations of my Fantel, we use that term to mean a fake mantel.

Sprinkle down some cat litter and grind it into the spill with your feet to scrape away the paint.. Anchor artificial flower arrangements.If you have dried or artificial flowers in a vase, you can use a bit of cat little in the vase to anchor everything exactly where you want it.

Just push the stems into the litter and they won’t move.As a bonus, it will help deodorize the area where you place the vase too!.Mix cat litter into your soil when planting.

Some cat litter mixed into your soil (up to a ratio of 1 part soil to 1 part cat litter), especially in containers, will help your soil to hold more water for longer and keep your plants happy.It’s probably best to stick to plain cat litter formulas for this use and not the ones with the scented crystals.. Gain traction on ice.

A little sprinkle of cat litter on a walkway or on outdoor stairs can really help to make them a lot less slippery in icy conditions.

It’s always a good idea to keep a container of cat litter in your car in the Winter too.Here are my thoughts!.

1) Lower your expectations for how much you’re going to get done in a given amount of time.And then lower them again..

They say that when you’re remodeling, things will always take twice as long as you think and cost twice as much.As a DIYer, I’d say this is completely false.
