The Sun Tracker is a small rotating device (like a lazy susan) that slowly rotates under your potted indoor plant. It will keep your house plant from becoming “lopsided” in the plants quest to reach out to the sun.
The Sun Tracker is only $30 and runs on 3 C batteries.
Here is what the manufacturer has to say, “Sun Tracker automatically rotates your plant in the sun, for beautiful, even, foliage growth.
If a plant gets sun on only one side, the growth of that plant foliage will be uneven. The Sun Tracker platform, however, automatically rotates slowly (choose from two speeds), to make sure the entire plant gets proper sunlight throughout the day. 40-lb. capacity. Three “C†batteries not included. 2†tall, 10-5â„8†in diameter.”

If you live near a forest, or even near a wooded area, it has happened to you. Deer. Ya, they are cute and Bambi’s mom shouldn’t have died in a kids movie, but what do you do when they start eating everything including your flowers and bushes you just bought from Home Depot?
You only have two choices.
1. Kill them. Not legal in all areas, and not recommended shooting your gun in your backyard.
2. Encourage them to leave. You can do this “encouraging” with a quick and hard blast of non-lethal water.
AwesomeTools.com has an awesome tool (sorry, lack of creativity) that does just that. It’s called the Scarecrow Sprinkler and is available for $74.95.
The Scarecrow Sprinkler detects movement then shoots water at that movement. At AwesomeTools’ website they have a cool video showing the SS in action.
From the image below you can see the after effects of the Sprinkler.

An interesting idea that I’m sure hasn’t been done before is glass bathroom tiles. In an age of such interesting ideas I’m really surprised that nobody has created these unique bathroom tiles before now.
Amitco, a UK company, has glass bathroom tiles that are actually very beautiful and don’t look at all like glass.
I don’t know about the quality of having glass on the floor, it would seem to be more fragile than slate or tile, but maybe they have a laminate over the glass, or maybe the type of glass and creation process make for a sturdier piece of glass.
For more information check out Amitco Iced Glass page.
