Bottle walls

In these times of problems with the overwhelming amount of trash we create lets find more creative ways to reuse items like bottles.
 make a simple frame from 2x4s the bottom board drill a hole to hole a dowel or pipe. I like to use a small copper pipe. take 2 pipes and 2 bottles. cut the bottom of the plastic bottles off. put one bottle on each pipe neck down. this will give you the distance measurement for the holes to be drilled in the bottom board. use the same distance in the top board. make the top hole deeper so when you get your pipe filled you put the top in first lift up slide the bottom of the pipe into the hole and let it drop down. doing one pole at a time the wall will build as you get bottles. just cut the bottom off of the next bottle and put it on the pole neck first down into the first bottle. add color bottles to liven it up.

this is glass bottles and you have to drill a hole in the bottom of each bottle with a special glass drill bit. Keep the bottle  cool as you drill with water.
