Project finished. Now I can put plants on top of the IKEA hydroponic system.
Ready to be used, all from scrap wood I found on the street.
Have 3 more to finish!

Preparing the 2L milk bottle for growing lettuce hydroponically.
Have a few bottles that needs to be covered to prevent algae growth. The best solution is aluminum foil. But it needs to be covered with tape to prevent it from getting destroyed after a few days.
Only problem is, I no longer see the water level in the container. But it's ok for lettuce, 2L is more than enough for one lettuce.

I think I found an alternative to have a comfortable chair in my apartment!
Don't have money to buy new furniture, and can't buy used one because I can't carry them up 6 floor by myself.
But this might be the solution for me. 2 of these and I have a nice place to sit and relax.
I'm sure I can find enough #palettes for 2 chairs.
This is horrifying video of what is wrong with our economical system
Such a waste.

Someone had thrown away this perfectly fine piece. What was missing was a few loose screws and some broken wood pieces holding them together. 5 minutes of work, and it is all good to go. Will add some glue to it to make sure it won't break again.
Used the power tools I had bought recently, some glue and some spare parts from my stash of things I have been collecting.
Just need some sanding and painting, putting the top on and will use it as stand for some plants for now.
Love repairing stuff people through away and use them for free.
Will postcthe final product when it's done.
3 weeks of garbage, plus a few cans, bottles and boxes
Doing all I can to cut back my garbage and buying items either from local butcher, or in bulk to cut back the amount of garbage I create.
It is really hard in France since many items are portion packed and double or triple packed.
This is why I have adapted my purchasing and eating habit to reflect what I can buy with minimum garbage. Specially plastic.
It is the first time I am using a plastic bag for garbage, but it was mainly because it has a lot of chicken skin and stuff that didn't work in my papaer bags I usually use.
The second picture is a 2L milk bottle with all the plastic bags and other items I push into it. right now it's 380g and by the time I'm done with it, it will be about 450 to 500g.
Most of organic waste goes into the compost on the back balcony!
Bought a used Dremel 3000 kit including all the bits and pieces for 45 Euro!
Sold my old one for almost the same price, without any tools! So this turned out to cost me only 5 euros.
So happy to have the complete box of tools , just need to finish my stationary tool bench and then I have a complete hobby set.
Very excited.
I love buying second hand items.
It is great for everyone. Bought a pack of 4 power tools, brand new, never even opened for 80 euro including shipping.
I just need 3 of them, the drill, the sander and the saw, but the other one can be handy as well one day.
The only problem is that it is not a famous brand and will be hard to find replacement batteries for it. But NiMh batteries will last a few years and worse case scenario, i can make a hacker version with 3D printed housing using 18650 standard cells. 5 of them will give me a 4.5Ah instead of the 2Ah that these are
Only thing missing is an angle grinder that may go for a Makita 1000W corded one instead. Even thought i would like cordless, but i can't afford those right now.
Time to start doing some DIY work at home.
