I thought if I could rub some wax on it maybe it would glide more smoothly and THEN I had a moment of brilliance!.
As it turns out, I’ve been wearing them for pretty much everything, all the time, always, and they’ve been really great to have for walking the dog through the muddy fields around our house, for., for early mornings when the grass is still soaked with dew.
Basically so many of the rural lifestyle scenarios that we face out here everyday.But that gets messy.My hunter boots aren’t the perfect, shiny, Pinteresty outfit boots anymore, but I do need to keep them clean so I can run into town when I need to without looking like a crazy mud-monster..
So here’s how I clean them!.First start out with some hunter boots that have seen a nice afternoon of weed-pulling, or toddler-chasing just after a rain storm.
OK, so these weren’t that caked in mud at the time that I took these pictures, but trust me, there are times when I’m pretty sure there’s about 10 lbs of mud stuck to the bottom of each boot.. Look how ridgy those boots are!
So great for unslipperyness, but also really great for holding onto way too much mud..And then it took me another full day to paint it!
If you’d like your project to go a little quicker and you’re dealing with just a straight wall, consider using pre-made shelving units for all or some of your project and just attaching them to the wall and trimming them out with some moldings.You’ll be amazed at how fast you can transform a room that way and you’ll wonder why you waited so long!.
It’s never fun to worry about your budget on DIY projects, but it’s even less fun to realize you’ve overspent afterwards.Really look at the costs of all the materials your plan requires and see what it’s going to cost you.
