I want to get a bistro set for our front courtyard and I don't know which material to pick. I heard cast aluminum is rust resistant and lasts longer. However, I live in a very windy area, and I am afraid it won't be heavy enough. There's too much concrete going on in that area, so I don't want concrete furniture, either. Any opinions or suggestions?
Aluminium is much lighter than cast iron, but you would still need hurricane force winds to shift it. As long as the base of the table is as wide as the top, you shouldn't have any problem with the wind tipping it over. The aluminum is also much easier to move around for rearranging.

I was wondering if there was something I could use other than pavers or concrete that would give a stable enough surface to have patio furniture on. I also would like it to be easy enough to construct and little to no maintainance. I am plenty handy, but I'm pretty busy this summer and would like this to not turn into a huge project.
We built a patio that we call a "ground level deck". Picture a wooden deck, but built into the ground to be flush with the yard. We have a boardwalk leading up to it from the drive, and a curving boardwalk wandering off through the gardens.
Make sure you layer vinyl or plastic underneath to avoid plants growing through the boards.
Hello!
I'm about to embark on opening up a very small business of disposal of people's animal waste.
I want to provide services for the disposal of doggy waste, cleaning urine and doodoo stains in the yard, deodorizing and disinfecting(grass, concrete, outdoor furniture, as well as indoor carpeting, furniture, flooring, etc.), control of flea and tick in a yard environment, control of where to prevent animals from defecating, dog bathing, and dog walk/jogging.
What is the best disinfectant to use for boots, gloves, clothing, and scoop equipment?
Thanks.
and if this idea sounds crazy to you, it's a very fast growing trend!.. and I'll be one of the first to bring it as an organized business to my area! :)

I have a plain concrete patio. My house is red/brown brick with slightly off-white/taupe painted addition (next to patio) and trim. I have a black wrought iron table and chairs, a blk wrought iron glider, and 2 black rocking chairs and table. What color should I go with for throw pillows/cushions/outdoor rug. I love cozy cottage style. Any help would be appreciated to help me mak this outoor space relaxing and cozy. Thanks...I
A cozy cottage style is best achieved using a flowered patterned fabric for the cushions with a clearly understood flower and leaf design, roses or lillies or ivy.
If the furniture is out sized you can choose a large pattern. Otherwise choose a medium size pattern and repeat.
If the fabric background colour is a light green, with roses of yellow, pink or red, leaves in shades of green, you need to pick out the yellow, red or pink or green for the toss pillows. Then you can use the same color with different shades, for plates and napkins.
Be sure to avoid tropical prints or you lose the cottage look. And remember that yellow, pink, red colors are typical cottage colors.
For the floor, if the patio is covered, a braided rug or a hooked rug with flower motifs, will give a cottage look.
If it needs to be a weather resistant floor covering, you might still find a hooked rug that you can use. Otherwise a very simple geometric in greens and yellows, or several shades of green will help maintain or at least not destroy the cottage effect you want to achieve.

She is approx 14 mos. old & she has ben laying eggs (unfertilized) about every 2-3 days for the past 3 wks or so. She has the run of our caged in lanai, but lately she's been picking on my concrete wall & eating it as well as my painted aluminum outdoor furniture. I purchased a new cuttle bone for her thinking that maybe she needed calcium but she doesn't pay attention to it. She eats well (mostly cockatiel food) & I even boil her eggs which she loves to eat. Is this some kind of sympton or what? I'm worried that she'll get poisoned with the paint or metal. Has anyone experienced this with their bird before?
Also, don't take away the eggs that she is laying. She will continue to lay to replace the eggs. Let her sit on the eggs until she is done with them. This will take about 21 days, then and only then it is safe to throw the unfertalized eggs away.
She must not be allowed to chew on the things that you are describing. If she starts to act odd at all, rush her to the vet. She can get metal poisoning from the paint. Most paints have zinc in them that is toxic to our birds.
Start giving her dark leafy greens such as spinach, kale, dandilion, etc to help replace the calcium she is using to lay eggs.
Reduce the ammount of daylight she gets to 12 hours or less, this will help stop her egg laying cycle.
Keep an eye on her, if she becomes eggbound she needs a vet ASAP. If she does not stop laying, also see a vet.
