What This Guy Did After A Storm Destroyed His Fence Is Totally Brilliant. Take That, Nature! - News

Sometimes, Mother Nature can get the best of us. Floods can ruin the engines in our cars and lightning our television receivers. Oh, and high winds can tear down a beautiful fence. That’s what happened to the fence line at a new house this man bought. Only five months after his initial purchase, this fence came down. Instead of mourning the strong spring storm, the homeowner decided to take his lemons and make lemonade.

A storm with high winds tore down the fence the homeowner hoped would last a few years.

After having it taken down, he saw it leaning against a wall and got an idea.

“I ultimately decided the gate as-is wasn’t as great as I wanted for a headboard, but now had piles of old fence post to work with and sketched out some rough plans to create a similar-ish design.”

“Cut the would randomly to rows of my specified. I added in some new fence posts I had and pallet wood to add some diversity.”

“Sanded down very, very lightly to keep all of the imperfections and added some random stains from my pile of various stains.”

Attempting to straighten the boards a little…

He was thinking of attaching the headboard with cleats…

“I decided to not go with cleats and rather screw the headboard directly to the studs. Stability and security was my number one concern.”

“I added cross boards on the back to keep the boards together and align with the studs in my room. I used a pocket jig to attach some of the horizontal boards, but in some places I used metal plates to reenforce. I also drilled holes for my semi-decorative lights I was going to include. “

Overall, the owner was happy with the headboard…

It looks so cool, we can understand why.

This Is The Only Time A Bucket Of KFC Will Blow Your Mind. What The?! - News

For Kyle Stockton’s birthday, his wife Laura wanted to do something extra special for him. To make sure it was a birthday he would always remember, she decided to create something in the kitchen he would never forget. She’s quite the chef in the kitchen and Kyle was blown away by what she came up with. She got the idea from her two sons, Josh and Harry. For them, it was a no brainer. Their dad loved KFC, so they thought his treat should be KFC-themed. What Laura was able to make was a work of art.

Kyle was a giant KFC fan…

So much so, his wife baked him a bucket of chicken for his birthday.

But it wasn’t REALLY chicken.

It was a delicious, delicious cake.

Mind = blown.

(H/T Mirror.co.uk) Laura never imagined that the Internet would go wild over her cake. After all, she hasn’t been trained in making cakes. Now, she is inspired by its popularity to start a baked goods business (with hopefully more awesome cakes). It’s hard to tell if this cake is savory or sweet, but one thing is certain: it’s making me hungry.

Wait Til You See What Happens In This Incredibly Boring Room. It’s Absolutely Awesome. - News

This modern art installation at the Queensland Gallery of Modern Art is incredibly eye-catching. You’ll be drawn to all of the colors splashed about the room, seemingly chaotic but with an overarching theme. It stops passers by in their tracks. There is something about who created this room, though, that no one ever realizes.

This room began as a clean slate. It was pristinely white and without any of the artists’ influence.

Then, a bunch of kids were brought in with stickers.

That’s right. Kids.

The awesome art installation was created by children who were armed with colorful stickers.

The kids covered the entire house with the stickers.

If you think about it, this is what the inside of a child’s mind must look like: chaotic, beautiful and absolutely pure.

It’s hard to tear my eyes away.

An artist by the name of Yayoi Kasuma created the idea, but the real work was done by the kids were who brought in. It’s been accurately named The Obliteration Room, because of the “damage” the kids did to the crisp, white walls and furniture.

The Obliteration Room is part of Yayoi Kusama’s Look Now, See Forever exhibition that will run through March 12.

So the next time your kids are bored, just give them some stickers. Share this with your friends, maybe their kids will make you a free work of art.
