Hi Kim, I maybe able to help too. My email is billysbirdhouses@live.com. you do mean that the pot will be hanging below that ladder with your electrical cord in the hole of the pot at the bottom. One idea (short of drilling holes and useing eye bolts) would be to use heavy looped wire into the whole you plan to put the light through. Or go to your hardware store and have the associate explain how to install a light to a light fixture box. You see the plate with a whole and it should give you ideas. Or email me and I will send you a piz after I search for one! K. BillyJo

The whole piece gained weight like a preemie and now can stand on it's own to the big ones. LOL. It's getting comments already on my website.

But what it says on the label it is mixed: Pratt & Lambert- Red Seal Porcelaine- interior Flat, Acrylic latex wall coating: a-5y40 E-38 h 1y44 m-1y16 Fedora (2-19). I needed a brown and it looked good!
The red was a mix for TJMAXX the label is gone. It is a Benjamin moore paint they created in 1999 and it was made in 2005. We were disposing of paint. It is a bright red that is toned down with stains or the brown paints.
I also here that our town has a paint dump site. They also give away recycled paint too. I need to go someday! Check it out. Sorry I couldnt help much

posted: 6:11 pm on May 1stRe: help me with my beautiful weathered wood!!!
I buy old cans of minewax stains in various colors. I apply and then take off. It is oil base vs water that I use but comes in water base too. Then follow what the others here have said. Some one I know uses the husks off Black walnuts soaking in water for a short while. Makes a great water stain with a black walnut smell.
