How to Clean Up and Expand a Garden To redefine and expand the garden area, Jenn lined the garden bed with gray cobblestones. These were sourced by Plymouth Quarries [https://ift.tt/tB0QOK5]. Most of the plants Jenn used in the garden were already existing and just needed to be divided up. However, Jenn did select a few additional plants to add some color and textures to the garden, including tickseed, echinacea purpurea, garden phlox, coreopsis, and heather, which she got at Mahoney’s Garden Center [https://ift.tt/FtbONLG]. How to Make a DIY Air Filter Ross built the air filter using four, 20x20x2, MERV-13 air filters, which Ross got from Filterbuy [https://filterbuy.com/]. He duct taped the filters to a cardboard box and a 20-in 3-Speed Box Fan, which is manufactured by Lasko [https://www.lasko.com/], though any 20” fan would work for this application. Expert assistance with this segment was provided by Neil Comparetto. Build It | Adirondack Chair Tom used the Classic Adirondack Chair Template and Project Plan from Rockler [https://ift.tt/qVbkFNB] to figure out how to make all the different cuts. The plan comes with cardboard templates for the different pieces of the chair and some project plans to use as a guide. Tom built the chair out of 5/4-inch x 6 foot pressure treated decking material [http://thd.co/3nK536o], which can be found at any home center or lumber yard. Any rot-resistant lumber would also work well for an Adirondack chair. To cut and shape the boards, Tom used a combination of a 1-HP Steel Frame Bandsaw [https://amzn.to/3bDvFDS] from Delta Machinery [https://ift.tt/2whAFBR], a router table, and an Industrial Table Saw from SawStop [https://ift.tt/UuQgkbM]. The other tools and materials Tom and Kevin used to build the chair, including exterior rated screws and drill drivers, can all be found at home centers.
