Environmentally Responsible Crib Trickage

These days its all to do with the impact of your carbon footprint, renewable resources, etc.
In the light of the above, we resolve to reduce, reuse and recycle as much as we can to Trick our Crib as greenly as we can. (New word, heads up, Oxford)

Seeing as we're extending out the front of our house, and all the grilles are gonna go, that's a whole lot of iron...

...to use for constructing the metal framework for a 22ft wide by 10 ft high picket fence at the back of our house for security and privacy.

After cutting all the grilles to form, we should end up with this. As you all can see, it's really ngam-ngam :) And only 3 new steel bars are required for support.

Then we clad the iron framework with 8in x 10ft cemboard planks. Looks like wood but is not wood. Costs less than wood. Save trees summore.

And there you have the plan. Follow this blog for the execution, coming up when it does.
