Save Time and Money with These Home Improvement Household Tips

Home Improvement can involve some kind of upkeep or repair. And in this case the home is the prime focus. Whether you are patching a nail hole, or filling your part of the “Honey Do” list, these household tips will help make your task easier.

Household Tip Number One: Paint Can Improvement

Painting can be a messy ordeal when using a brush full of paint right out of paint can. Instead of using the inside lip of the can to lessen the amount of paint, simply place a rubber band length wise over the can so the rubber band covers the top of the can. Then you just use the rubber band instead of the inner rim.

Household Tip Number Two: A New Type of Garden Hose Holder

I like to multi function utility items if at all possible. And I actually thought up a solution to replace an old broken plastic hose holder. A metal bucket was sitting next to the kinked up hose just lying on top of the broken plastic hose holder. While sadly gazing at the mess, I had an idea.

Why can’t I use the bucket as a hose holder? The bucket would not break any where close to another plastic holder. So I drilled four holes in the bottom of the bucket. And then I screwed the bucket right into the side of my house. And then I wrapped the hose around the new holder. I also discovered the interior of the bucket can hold odd things like a hose handle. So now I have a nice sturdy hose holder guaranteed to last me years to come.

Household Tip Number Three: The Drill Light

Have you ever tried to use a drill or screw gun in a dark, enclosed space while trying to hold onto a flashlight in one hand and a drill in the other? Guess what? You do not have to fight with both of them like this. Drilling really takes two hands, so you have the proper drill pressure. The solution is simple, just place the flashlight to the top of the drill and secure in place with 2 to 3 rubber bands. The flashlight acts kind of like a laser sight on a gun. I got this idea while watching TV and trying to drill inside my kitchen cabinets.
