Tips: - When painting the trim on your house, quickly mask doors by folding newspaper around the edges and then closing them.
- Lining your paint trays with aluminum foil will make cleanup a lot easier.
- Need to check your roof for broken or missing shingles? Stay grounded and scope out the roof's surface with a pair of binoculars.
- If you want your garden vegetables to ripen outdoors at a faster pace, place aluminum foil beneath them to reflect sunlight.
- To speed up seed germination, place seed trays on top of your refrigerator, where the constant warmth will promote steady growth.
