Got an Old Tire?
REUSE OLD MATERIALS FOR ECO-FRIENDLY OUTDOOR GAMES
Looking for ways to get your kids outdoors while teaching them how to be more eco- friendly? Try saving your old tires and soda bottles to make these fun outdoor games for the whole family! TIRE SWINGS Have you ever played swing games like Tumbling Tower? Build a tower of cardboard boxes and see if your child can
use their feet or shoes to kick it down while swinging! Tire swings are great for games or just enjoying the outdoors while the wind rushes through your hair. Few pieces of outdoor play equipment are more enticing than a swing for children and adults alike. This project doesn't cost very much, either. You just need a tire, rope, power drill, and the biggest tree in your yard. If you don’t have a tree, you can make a sturdy swing post with lumber! TETHERBALL Even if a tire swing isn’t in the cards for your family, don’t relinquish your old tire just yet! Turn it into another playground favorite: tetherball. Premade tetherball sets can cost up to $100, but a DIY version can cost less than $50. To start, you’ll need the tire, a metal pole, some pieces of rebar, cement, a round swivel eye bolt snap, and a tetherball on a rope. You’ll also need to use an impact drill with a bit made for metal. Drill a cross section of holes at the bottom of the metal pole and thread the pieces of rebar through each. Then drill a hole at the top for your round swivel eye bolt snap so you have a place to tie the rope. After centering the pole in the tire (using the end with the rebar pieces as the base), pour the cement in and let it dry. Once it’s dry, hang the ball with the bolt snap and watch your kids play tetherball for summers to come! BOWLING Have empty plastic soda bottles from your last takeout meal? Collect them, paint them white, and put two red stripes around the neck. Now you’ve got bowling pins! You don’t need a heavy bowling ball for this DIY set, either. Use a tennis or soccer ball to get the ball rolling on some family bowling at home. You don’t need games as popular as Minecraft to make special memories in your backyard. Take inspiration from these ideas and create your own family fun!
With the pandemic keeping everyone inside for such a long time, curbside & pickup and delivery services have boomed across the country. A variety of companies that hadn’t offered these services, or offered very limited services, now rushed to integrate them into their business. The goal is not only to continue to provide their customers or clients the same services they’d always had in a safe way but also to continue operating as a business. While the public has appreciated this effort, our team members included, many of these businesses aren’t applying these services effectively. However, the companies that have risen to this challenge and continue to provide satisfactory pickup and delivery services are those that already have these types of systems in place. For years, our team at Janet Davis Cleaners has provided these in-house services at no cost for the benefit of our customers. We understand that finding the time to come to our location to drop off clothes or household items is difficult, especially as life is often very busy. To ensure we could help clients whose schedules are packed full, we put our FREE pickup and delivery system in place and have been improving this system for quite some time. When the pandemic hit the country and businesses began to close, our services were already there and ready for our customers’ use. Over these past few months, our team leaped to this challenge with what we have already in place. In fact, we've been able to expand this portion of our business quite a bit; during COVID-19, we went from two pickup and delivery trucks to three. Our goal is to continue providing our community with the option to clean and sanitize their clothes and household items in a safe and effective manner. If you have a friend or know a family member who would benefit from our resources, send them our way and be sure to mention our FREE pickup and delivery service.
