Tips: - Mixing cool water with drywall compound will lengthen the curing process, especially useful when you're working on hot days.
- If you think that a drywall project is too big of a mess for do-it-yourselfers, consider medieval homeowners -- who smoothed walls with a mixture of lime, clay, and horse manure!
- Drywall problems can be difficult to see before paint is applied. Holding a flashlight flat up against the wall will highlight imperfections and help you smooth things out.
- Lip balm makes an excellent masking material for painting multi-pane windows. Apply it directly to the glass before you paint, and after the paint dries, it will wipe away easily from the coated surface.
- Add tension to lazy window shades by lowering the shade halfway, removing it from the brackets, rolling it up by hand, and remounting.
- You can clean exterior windows by mixing 1/4-cup of liquid dishwashing detergent into 1-1/2 gallons of hot water. Apply with a large sponge or car-wash mitt, then rinse with a hose.
