My New Driftwood Project
So..I decided after having my front driveway and walkway and doorway brick paved to find a cool piece of driftwood to accent the doorway. Found a nice piece but at $200+ I could not justify it. I stopped by a little nursery that I had bought a couple cacti for a problem spot. Anyway I was looking around and asked if they had any driftwood. The owner said they only had one old piece. It was standing against the wall of their building trunk up and roots down. Hmmm....I wanted to see it on it's side with roots up...How much was the next question. A phone call and she said $60 but would sell it for $30. It would not fit in my outback wagon and she didn't have a saw for where I needed it cut...$10 to deliver. I bought 2 other garden plants and a friend cut one of the roots back since it was just laying across the ground. It is now the piece sticking up giving me more mounting space and the long trunk piece is added weight and mounting room too. Turns out while my friend was cutting I had a wonderful smell of cedar. What a deal!! My husband thinks we have enough! Wait till he sees this done!!
