July 20, 2014 at 9:43 amI have repurposed an old soda crate to use on my porch for holding small garden scissors, pliers, and other small tool. I repurpose old patio umbrellas for veggie stakes, but love the idea for using an intact one for a garden trellis. Many, many good ideas here, I will be coming back. I just hate throwing things away that might have another life. Thanks.

June 29, 2017 at 8:27 amI have an old local soda case that I am fixing up for a friend. It was her Dad’s. Not much of a bottom to the case. Great sides and the printing on all 4 sides is great. I am thinking of just hanging it on her basement wall. I would like to makt it special. Any suggestions?
