A great
way to fill cracks and gaps
Problem:
All kinds of small gaps or cracks
in brick, wood, drywall, and other construction materials
are common in most houses. These gaps can allow interior heated
or cooled air to escape, moisture or insects to get inside
a home, or even more serious damage to occur if not corrected.
Solution: A putty-like
substance called caulk, when applied properly, can correct
many of these problems quickly and easily.

Painting tips & tricks of
the day Paint without removing fixtures
To avoid having to remove fixtures before painting,
particularly when the pieces are difficult to get off,
nothing works like Vaseline petroleum jelly. Just spread it
on the surfaces to be protected before starting to paint and
when finished, clean the fixtures with a paper towel or a
soft cloth.
Removing paint on glass and windows
It is well known that dried paint can be removed from glass
with a razor blade. If the glass objects are textured or
uneven, soak them in water and dishwasher liquid for a few
hours. |
