beercanroof.jpgHere's a great way to save the earth by drinking more beer. You can recycle them into a Beer Can Roof! Robtoberfest over at Instructables.com posted this great tutorial to tell us how.

He made a Beer Can Roof for his chicken coop - who says that will a little more partying, you can't make one for your entire house! All that you need is LOTS of beer cans (so get drinkin'), a piece of 1x6 hardwood board, two 1-foot 5/16" metal Square rods, staple gun, Circular saw or router or saw with Dado blade, tin snips, square, chisel, hammer, drill & bits and gloves.

Go to Instructables.com where you can watch the condensed 47 second Instructable video. Then go to the store and get cases of your favorite canned beer (mine is Tecate with a lime for the summer). Then get online and get your tools at Toolking.com. Wanna save the earth some more? Then buy reconditioned power tools at Toolking.com.

Would it not be a good idea to use stainless steel staples? The Arrow-brand ones cost 3X that of their regular staple gun staples but at least you wouldn't have rust streaks.
