The powerhead runs on the same Milwaukee battery as their power tools.
Milwaukee pole saw runs on the M18 battery.
The pole saw is just one of four attachment options. Use it with or without the extension pole.
How to store your garden flags with a pant hanger.
"Project Follow-Up" was our second segment and featured the outdoor flag stand. Steph shared a great idea for storing and keeping all your outdoor flags organized and wrinkle free.
Buy a pack of 12 seasonal flags on Amazon.
To change the flag on the PVC flag stand, you simply pull out the cross bar, pull off the old one and add the new one!
The PVC flag stand has held up well.
Even though the cross bar is removed frequently, it still stays in place and doesn't get loose.
How to make a PVC flag stand. Link in the post.
It's been over a year since we made this and it's been outside all this time. There is no chipping or peeling of the paint on the PVC and the concrete base is still in great condition.
Store your garden flags on pant hanger.
This is the pant hanger that Steph bought to store her flags. They fit perfectly and keep the flags organized and wrinkle free. She has three to hold her 12 flags.
Everyone loves a shop dog especially one that's a greyhound.
Lastly, we shared a 'just for fun' "Beyond the Workshop" segment featuring our shop dog, Mac! Mac has some simple tips for being the best shop dog ever!

I saw in a small store once that had one big old wooden window that they had replaced the window panes with mirrors & loved it. I’m looking for two window panes to do that in my bathroom. I have looked on Pinterest to see how it’s done but have not found it. Maybe this could be a project for you, if not in your house then maybe a friend. Thanks, love watching you guys.
