Tips: - Avoid using containers for landscaping in areas that get heavy sun. Hot pavement and nearby walls can cook your plants.
- Adding 1" PVC sockets to your lawn can help you place spike-type sprinklers with ease. Distribute them across your lawn for even sprinkler coverage.
- The gel-filled gloves that bicyclist's use are great for absorbing the vibration of lawn mowers, chainsaws and other powered lawn tools.
- When painting your basement steps, paint every other step to allow an escape route. Or paint the left 2/3 of each step one day and the right 2/3 the next to get double coverage where you need it.
- If you're building a staircase with wood stringers, pre-drill all holes and use screws instead of nails to prevent splitting.
- If your stairway lighting is only switched at one end, consider installing a motion-activated light for two-way safety.
