Second Nature – Free First Month of HVAC Filters Shipped Right to Your Door!
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I really like things that ship right to my house so I don’t have to make special trips to stores I don’t often visit. Right now, you can try Second Nature for FREE and even shipping is free! I tried it a few weeks ago and it was a great experience. I was able to pick the filter I needed for my house (2 in our case) and BOTH were completely free!
After your first free month, you are automatically enrolled in deliveries, but you can set up how often you’d like them. We think that the filters worked great and the price was fairly comparable to other places and I didn’t have to leave the house to get them.
If you decide it’s not for you, cancelling is easy! Simply send Second Nature an email and they will get you cancelled.
How to Make an Outdoor Movie Screen Stand
My husband recently built an outdoor movie screen stand for our outdoor projector. Our screen is 100 inches in size. It only took a simple trip to the hardware shop to get ours up and running.
Please read through this completely, along with the notes at the bottom from things we’ve learned along the way.
Supplies:
- 4 – 10 foot PVC Pipes, 1/2 inch diameter
- 4 – T Fittings, 1/2 inch diameter
- 4 – 1/2 inch end caps
- 2 – 90 Degree Angle, 1/2 inch diameter
- 6 – Cup Hooks (depending on your screen) – note: 6 individual ones, not packs.
- Drill
Prep:
- Cut 2 of the 10′ PVC Pipes into 8′ lengths, saving the 2′ remnants. These 8′ pieces will be the top and bottom of your screen stand.
- Cut 1 of the 10′ PVC Pipes into 2 – 4’10” lengths. You will have 4′ leftover that you do not need. These 2 – 4’10” lengths become the left and ride sides of the screen stand.
- Finally, cut the last 10′ PVC Pipe into 4 – 2.5′ lengths. These will be the feet of the stand
Assembly:
For your first assembly of this outdoor movie screen stand, we recommend using two people until you get the hang of how to assemble the stand.
- Put the 90 degree angles at both ends of an 8′ PVC piece.
- Connect the 4’10” PVC lengths to the 8′ piece using the connected angles.
- Use a T fitting on each of the bottoms of the 4’10” inch pieces to connect the remaining 8′ length for the bottom of the screen.
- Next use the remaining 2′ lengths to come down from the screen.
- At the bottom of each of the 2′ length pieces, place another T Fitting.
- Connect the four 2.5′ lengths on each side of the T Fitting on each leg.
- Place end caps on exposed pipe ends.
- Since screens vary, line up your screen grommets with the frame and using a marker, mark where your hooks need to be. Then drill the holes and hand twist the hooks in to secure to the pipe.
Since all pieces are removable, you can collapse this stand easily for storage and reassemble whenever needed. We’ve even taken it to my brother’s house for a movie night.
Notes:
- We color coded our hooks with a colored zip tie since our grommets are not symmetrical on our screen. This helps us put the screen on correct the first time.
- Although we used regular PVC Pipe, in the long term, it may have been better to use the electrical PVC pipe, since it’s a little more sturdy. We’ve had ours for several months and it still works fine, though.
- When it’s windy, you may want to anchor down the stand. Otherwise the screen becomes a sail and the stand and screen could go flying.
- This stand was created to hold a 100 inch screen, provided in the TMY Projector with 100 Inch Screen set we purchased on Amazon. If you have a different size, you can use these instructions as a guide to create your own stand.

Review & Giveaway: Faith Under Fire
All of us have had struggles and trials, and many of us have been effected by cancer. The movie, Faith Under Fire, is a depiction of what real life is like and how everyone doesn’t always get their fairy-tale ending.
About the Movie:
After an exhausting night of saving a little girl from a raging house fire, Fireman Tom Hatcher is at the end of his rope. He couldn’t save his wife from cancer – and worse yet – his six-year-old daughter, Tiffany, is now facing the same possible fate. When he finds himself in a cold jail cell after punching a pastor out of frustration with a seemingly absent God, Tom begins to reflect on his downward spiral into despair. But with the help and persistent friendship of the very man he attacked, Tom is challenged to face his grief and embrace faith in the darkest hour of his life.
Our Thoughts:
We watched this movie with my 14 year old son, and it’s geared toward ages 12+. Given the issues addressed (i.e. cancer, death), I definitely agree on the age recommendation.
Although this was a good movie to watch, personally, I feel this needs a clear “trigger warning”, and wouldn’t recommend it if you’re currently walking through a cancer trial. Fortunately my husband’s trial is behind us currently, but I don’t think this would have been a movie I would have wanted to watch during the hard months.
I d like that the movie shows that even when things don’t turn out well, God is still in control and drawing us closer to Him.
More Information:
Faith Under Fire is available on Digital and DVD after December 8th!
