I am a dumpster dining scavenger and it makes my frugalista heart so happy when it all works out. In this case I ended up with a lovely stone patio. The stone tiles were rescued from a pool hard-scaper who was tossing them (last pic) and the rest was from counter top places. Yep, the granite kitchen counter top folks have to pay by weight to have their dumpster emptied and they were more than happy to help me load my vehicle with their scrap. I recommend asking before helping yourself. Only one place told me know. And one place, that was behind a locked gate, let me in and helped me load. At another place I was in the parking lot when a huge sheet of stone feel off the loading dock. Some of the larger pieces in my build came from their accident. Once everything was in place I gave it 2 weeks to seat itself with the help of the weather. Then I went back with small bits to fill the cracks (pic 4). Dumped a bag of quick-krete on it, and swept into into place then used the hose to 'rain' it all into place to set. Oh and the dumpsters of these places often have whole bath counters with sinks and faucets. My outdoor garden sink as a rescue.

A kid of one of the members at our gym missed the basketball hoop and busted the whiteboard holder I designed and 3D Printed 😭 But the upgraded version is 10x better! I used stronger, grippy magnets which are removable. I beveled the edges. I made the walls thicker. I used PTEG instead of PLA filament. Stoked to see how this one performs. What are you working on this weekend?

To give my kids a fun new tradition, I've been trying something new...they seem to liking it so far. This was my third one this year...
