Tips: - When removing broken glass, use a little reverse psychology. Pull the pieces toward you. If they break, any slivers will be directed away from you. Always wear gloves and eye protection when handling glass.
- To maximize the efficiency of windows in your home, close your curtains and shades at night; open them during the day.
- To keep your handsaw from bending or getting stuck, insert a screwdriver into the end of the cut to hold it open.
- Don't leave a bad impression: Sharp writing instruments can leave hard-to-remove impressions in softwood. Use blackboard chalk to make your temporary marks instead.
