Tips: - To rejuvenate hard-to-read lines on a framing square, brush on a white oil-based paint. Lightly wipe the excess paint off the surface, leaving the bright paint to dry in the indentations.
- Wedging a nail between the claws of a hammer and pounding it in backwards will let you set a nail with one hand tied behind your back.
- The first step in repairing a sticky door is to make sure that all of the hinge-securing screws are tight.
- What you can't see can hurt you. Remember to paint or seal all exposed surfaces of your new door, including the bottom, to protect from moisture damage.
- The next time you paint a wooden door, thoroughly sand the edges first. Otherwise, the extra layer of paint could cause the door to bind.
