Topics covered on today's episode: Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation discussion Installing hinges on a new door Cutting driveway pavers Salvaging old or damaged screwdrivers Using fluorescent outdoor lights as bug lights Stopping fluorescent-light buzz Hiding electrical cords Opening ceiling into cathedral ceilings Installing concrete countertops Fixing a gap in countertop seams Hanging a pegboard Tips - Tape a Popsicle stick to the underside of your staple gun when you need temporary staples. The stick will cause the staples to stick up slightly and ease removal.
- Keep a rubber furniture-leg tip in your toolbox and you'll be able to quickly convert your hammer to a soft-tipped mallet.
- To make your living room seem more spacious, light an entire wall with wall-washers. Wall-washers are recessed fixtures that are mounted on the ceiling an equal distance away from the wall and each other.
- If you use vanity strips with globe bulbs, choose frosted bulbs instead of clear ones to help minimize shadows.
- When painting, work from a paint bucket with 3" to 4" of paint in it. Keep it as close to the work as possible to minimize both arm movement and drips.
- When planning an addition, make sure that new outlets are positioned so that no point in any wall space is more than 6' from an outlet without crossing a doorway.
