Spring is in the air and with that, comes the unearthing of all that you buried within your shed last Fall!

As you prepare your backyard for summer festivities, set up your Kamado Joe grill and get fuel for the fire pit you recently bought from us, here are some neat D-I-Y ideas we found that could really add some character to your existing outdoor space, while helping reuse some old items you may find during the spring-clean out!!
