Cool! [thumb]
Remember back when satellite dishes were about ten feet across? Now THAT would have made a BIG birdbath! [Big Grin]

Afgrey, around here a lot of people still have those 10 ft satellite dishes....

When I was a teen my sister started a game with me on the way to pick up my niece in WV.....How many WV state flowers can you spot....

Satellite dishes! [Big Grin] And they are EVERYWHERE!!!! The one time we went I counted hundreds of them---most of them big huge ones....

Those are cute pics! [thumb]

Oui,

It was when I subscribed to DTV and it still is!

What is that around the bottom??? Fake flowers???

It's a good idea...

I have never signed up for DTV because I have never heard anything positive from those I know who did...

So how much did that "unique" bird bath cost?

Oui,

The decoration is a sting of fake flowers that my wife added. I think it dressed it up quite a bit! I don't like to think about what the birdbath cost over time, but now it brings me pleasure and doesn't cost a thing.

Now bird seed is a totally different matter. We have the bird buffet open every day and I think that the birds told all of their friends. I spend a lot of time hauling bird seed home from Walmart!

Your right it dresses it up perfectly...At least you can use it for something..

By the way I have found that Tractor Supply has the same prices as Wal-Mart on bird seed BUT the QUALITY of the seed from Tractor Supply is BETTER..No KIDDING...More seeds less stems

Project 1: the moldy satellite dish

Update on the moldy old satellite dish
