Summer Gathering Upgrades: Simple DIY Backyard Projects
Transform your outdoor space into the ultimate summer entertainment hub with budget-friendly DIY projects! Create a movie night experience by hanging a white sheet between trees and adding floor pillows and string lights for ambiance. Build a simple outdoor game station featuring oversized versions of classics like Jenga or cornhole boards personalized with your favorite colors. Set up a self-serve beverage station using a repurposed wooden pallet filled with ice, or construct a temporary bar from cinder blocks and wooden planks. Add strategic lighting with solar pathway lights or hanging mason jar lanterns to extend gatherings into the evening. Consider a DIY fire pit surrounded by Adirondack chairs for a natural conversation area where guests can roast marshmallows and share stories under the stars.

Or maybe you’re self-employed and you’re still building a reliable track record. Rent-to-own allows time to build personal wealth and financial credibility while working toward your homeownership goals.
- When you know you’re going to buy when the lease expires. If you’re not ready to buy when the lease expires, then you will lose any rent credit, i.e. investment, you’ve put into the home.
