Is your yard ready for summer entertaining? <br/><br/>A new survey polling 2,000 U.S. adults with backyards found that 81% would look forward to hosting parties in their backyard, but 14% admitted that they would need some time to prepare given the current state of their space.<br/><br/>According to respondents, 34% would have to improve their backyards before hosting, spending seven hours weekly and up to $1,400 to get their yards guest ready.<br/><br/>The survey, commissioned by Big Lots and conducted by Talker Research, revealed just how many Americans are looking forward to hosting a backyard soiree this year and what many feel they need to do to be best prepared. <br/><br/>Proper patio furniture (57%) was respondents’ most sought-after improvement, followed by sprucing up their existing patio furniture (39%), setting up bug repellants (37%) and installing lights (36%).<br/><br/>Hosting these get togethers can add up though, so budget is important to keep in mind. The average person felt they could host a party for as low as $190, with four in five (82%) saying it’s important to them that they stick to their budget if they plan on getting any new patio furniture or other improvements ahead of an event.<br/><br/>“Sprucing up the backyard is more than a simple task, it’s an investment in creating memories with loved ones that will last a lifetime,” said Shelly Trosclair, SVP Merchandising at Big Lots. \

Based on a Porsche, the 911 Turbo-based Rinspeed Bedouin was created to show how a powerful car can also use renewable energy. Frank M.

Cyrus has now shared more about the look and how it came together. We feel silly saying this, but we had no idea the dress was made out of safety pins. 14,000 safety pins, to be exact. <br/><br/>Cyrus opened up about the look in a post on Instagram, noting how some of the intensive details on the ‘fit came together.
