Tips: - Spray your pruning shears with vegetable oil before using them, and the sticky stuff that accumulates from pruning will clean up easily.
- Utility and cable companies are happy to mark the locations of underground lines for you at no charge. This helps to avoid cutting hazardous lines and cutting off your service.
- Energy saver: Deciduous trees on the south and west sides of the house will help keep the house cool in the summer and will still allow the sun to warm the house in the winter.
- The quickest way to paint a wire or chain-link fence is with a sponge. Be sure to protect your hands with rubber gloves.
- Back-porch stairs can become slippery. Try painting them with a special deck paint to which a little sand has been added. This will give you better traction in wet consitions.
