WINNER WINNER WINNER!!  Louise Van Stuyvesant Meijen of South Africa won the Africa division of the “Be the First PAC Builder on your Continent Contest”! Excited and ready to build she quickly received a Pallet Adirondack Chair PDF DIY Guide and has a paper PAC DIY Guide, stickers, Sidney Birdhouse and other preliminary guides on the way to her amazing family residence in the Munyawana reserve that lies in the northern corner of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. She wasted no time and already has one PAC built with the help of her pups (obviously).

After a whirlwind (BTW, I thought it was world wind when I was a kid!) of activity with the Southern Design Concern we have been able to re-coop and start back on some RG stuff. First task, getting Derek “Deek” Diedricksen ready for his Boston based workshop. He will be teaching people the ins and outs of building TINY HOUSES and how to build a PAC! He is phenomenal at sourcing random things and hammering them together to make cozy cottages but as LaVar Burton always told me, “But you don’t have to take my word for it!” (His work and LaVar would approve, it’s a book!)

A photo of what became of the Lowe’s shopping cart. The corners were chopped off to create a base and roof to a bird feeder. In this shot, Josh Tuminella is holding up the bird feeder and you can see that the base and roof are lined with a plastic fabric made from Target bags. Everything used with the exception of the zip ties were found or repurposed from my studio of stuff.  More pictures to come! travisekmark: Sloan and Josh with Repurposed Goods Bird Feeder (Taken with instagram)

So, RG found a broken Lowe’s shopping cart some time ago during a bike ride through ATL. Actually it was a shopping cart basket without the base or wheels. There were dreams of making it into a soap box racer body, a seat or some sort (giving one a nice waffle @$$), or break it apart to make multiple things. We decided on the latter…so come and see what was made from this hunk of honeycombed plastic at Southern Design Concern’s exhibit at The Sound Table in Atlanta on July 11th called:   Fixed: An Exhibition of Repaired Objects Hints: Used the corners of the shopping cart and circular pieces from the base Utilized zip ties, rope, a caribeaner, a jigsaw, and orbital sander… What did we make!?!?

Candice N. strikes again. Pallets Adirondack Chairs, or in the case “Love Seats” are becoming short work for her which leads me to believe that she needs a new project. A new DIY Guide…a new spring build. Hmmmm…more pictures of Candice N.’s PACs and her swank Florida waterside paradise after the break.
