The goal with this one was to keep the natural thickness and movement instead of taking too much off.
I cleaned up the sides with a tight taper and kept the top heavy and textured, while leaving extra length toward the back for that modern shaggy/mullet-inspired shape.
I like cuts like this because they don’t need a crazy design to stand out — the shape, texture, and blend do the work. 💈
This bad boy took me 2 hours to clean and used just about everything I could.
I just moved into a new apartment today and the cast iron double basin sink had a ton of scuff marks on it. I used a rust remover spray and scouring pad to remove them and it worked so well. now I can move on unpacking (and try to forget about the iron build up in the claw foot tub 😬) ((last photo-- advice welcome))
Today I'm showing you this covered seating area next to the local tennis courts.
The condition of this place became a hot topic in local Facebook groups, and I managed to respond just 3 hours after the posts appeared. The cleanup itself took me about 2 hours, during which I collected 15 bags of waste:
8 bags of household trash;
7 bags filled with cigarette butts, sunflower seed shells, and broken glass.
While I was cleaning, a tennis practice was taking place nearby. The coach told me that he picks up broken glass and cigarette butts from the courts almost every day. Even though the area is cleaned regularly, it doesn't take long before it ends up looking like this again.
This is another reminder that cleaning alone isn't enough. Real change will come when more people start taking responsibility for the places we all share.
I’m new to this community and I’m trying to reach more people who care about keeping public spaces clean. I also share my cleanups on Facebook and YouTube, where I post more before-and-after videos and document the work I do. Any support or feedback is greatly appreciated! 🙏
