Ok, you are running way late this morning and you have to be somewhere in 30 minutes... You jump out of the shower and look in the mirror and all you see is a foggy mess. You spend the next 15 minutes trying to find some glimmer of reflection in your mirror. You end up being late for your meeting and your whole day is thrown off because of it..... Here is an easy way to save a little time in the morning. Spray some shaving foam on the mirror and massage in and wipe off. Barbasol works the best (something in the ingredients). Next time when you accidently wake up late you can SHAVE some time off getting ready and out the door you go!

    Here is a great way to update the look of your home. If you have popcorn ceilings and ambition, here is how you scrape it off quick and easily. First we need a basic garden weed sprayer, fill that with water and vinegar about 50/50 mix. Next spray ceiling with solution let set  5 minutes, and spray again. Next, just scrape that old popcorn off the ceiling with a mud trawl. (the larger the trawl the better) You should put something down to catch the popcorn. As you can imagine this can be pretty messy.If done right the popcorn should come off completely with ease. When you are done, Just make sure ceiling is dry and either texture or paint.

    Sometimes we need to listen to our drains. Don't wait to take action if your drain has been draining slowly, here is a easy cheap way to keep your drains from clogging up. As soon as you see your drain is draining slower than normal. Just poor a cup of baking soda down the drain... Followed by a cup of vinegar... Let set for five minutes or so and flush with HOT water from the facet. You will be shocked at how well this actually works. Sometimes a little preventative maintenance can save you a call to your plumber in the future.

    Have you ever hung a picture just to take it down and move it five more times before you find the perfect spot. Come on... We have all done this before. This is something I tend to do and have fixed many holes because of this. Rather than going and buying a tub of drywall mud, I recommend getting a small tube of silicone. Just make sure it is paintable. Squeeze a bit into the hole, wipe with wet paper towel and your done. With regular drywall it can get messy and you might mess up the texture with silicone you can confine it to as little as the 1/8" hole eliminating the need for texture. Also Silicone won't shrink like mud will so one application is all you need.  

 

    Hello everyone, This is a great tip of advice i wish i had learned along time ago... When using sandpaper, cover the reverse side of paper with some duct tape.  This may seem silly but will make that piece of sandpaper last up to 5 TIMES longer. And in the long run save you alot of paper and Dough.
