If you are doing a home repair or another home improvement project think about using screws to assemble your project. If you decide to change it because it doesn’t look the way you wanted or if you have made a mistake you can easily take things apart if you don’t like it without much damage.

Screws have a stronger hold then nails and can be easily taken out to help your home repairs and projects.

Always read the instructions first. This will make your job easier with less hassle.

If I had not assumed everything was square and checked it the window would have been perfect.

Check everything to see if it is level, square and plumb whether it is new or old you just never know.

I have and use a push rotary lawnmower and it is a lot of work and it hurts my back every time . Every time I cut the grass I ask myself when am I going to buy a self-propelled mower.

It sure would help my back. If you are thinking about which one to buy I would buy a self propelled mower over a push one anytime.

They are a little bigger and heavier than a push mower but you just walk behind it with little effort.  You can set the speed on some model to the speed you walk which makes it easier to cut the grass. Self propelled lawnmowers come in front wheel drive and rear wheel drive. The front wheeled ones chew up your grass when turning and a rear wheel drive doesn’t.  If you are looking at purchasing one a rear wheel drive does a better job and cost about the same as a front wheeled one.

I wish I had one. Next lawnmower I get will definitely be a self-propelled model.

What I did to see the oil level better was I moved the dip stick so the oil reflected off the street light. This way I could see the oil level better. Also it is an effective method to check the oil level when you have new clear oil that you can’t see very well on the dipstick.

Another tip is to shut off the engine and wait 5 minutes or more to check the oil level. This way the oil has time to settle down into the oil pan and you will get a more accurate reading. When you go to get gas and the attendant asks to check your oil and you say yes and he checks it, it’s not an accurate reading so you might want to check it later at home. You don’t want to put too much oil in your car.

A couple of easy tips you can do to check your lights by yourself without getting out of your car. You can do this if you have a truck, car or if your vehicle has LED (light emitting diodes) lights. Next time you’re at a shopping center or strip mall park in front of the glass windows. This will reflect your lights so you can check to see if they are working. Check your turn signals and headlight on normal and high beams. Also check your parking lights and if you have fog lights or any other cool lights you can check them too.

If you like you can reverse or back into a parking spot to check your back lights or next time you are shopping you can do it then. Look in your rear view mirror to see if the lights are working. Go from left to the right turn signal, step on the brakes to see if the brake lights are working, turn on your headlights to check the parking lights and put your vehicle in reverse to see it the back up lights are working. Make sure to apply the parking brake and have your foot on the brakes when checking the reverse lights.

Avoid a ticket and check your light on a regular basis.

What happens when you clean your brush all the paint slim that collects in the brush that doesn’t get washed out settles to the end of the bristles. You can wash the brush forever but it is almost impossible to get everything out.

A way to prevent crusty and stiff bristles is to store the brush upside down with the tip of the brush pointing towards the ceiling after washing it. This way all the stuff that didn’t get washed out will settle in the handle area to dry. This allows the tip to remain soft and pliable and will add years to your brush. Be sure to store your brush in the package it can with after it dries. This will also keep the bristles clean and together add years to your brush.
