Home Tips And Tricks From The THG Professionals
Getting projects done around your home can be a daunting task if you are not sure where to start. With over ten years in business, TRUSTED HANDY GUY has compiled our expertise and developed this list of tips and tricks to help get your projects completed on time and on budget.
Cutting Crown Molding
When cutting crown molding, place the molding on the mitre saw fence at the same angle it is to be installed, but turn it upside down so that the ceiling edge is on the mitre saw's base and the wall edge is resting on the saws fence; and then cope the inside corners.
Silent Screen Door
If your door slams shut with a bang, you can place a couple of short beads of clear silicone caulk along the jamb at a few of the contact points. This will soften the blow. Be sure to prop the door open for a couple of hours after application, to let the bead of silicone dry completely.
Bag Dispenser
Tack an empty tissue box to the inside of a cabinet door and stuff your empty plastic grocery bags into the box. This will hold them secure, organized and also make for a convenient dispenser.
Chalk that Won't Stain
While working on the interior of your house, anything that can eliminate as much of a mess as possible is always a plus. So, when using a chalk line to mark surfaces- such as walls and flooring- use a white color. Red and blue will permanently stain.
Cheapest Tile Spacers
When laying tile, use pennies as spacers instead of store bought plastic ones. Pennies are easier to handle, more uniform and cheaper.
Clean Belt Sanders
Use the sole of a shoe to clean the sanding belt when it gets clogged, Do this by clamping the sander upside down, turning it on and gradually applying the sole of the shoe to the belt, watch it clean right up.
Digging Sod
When digging up sod that is going to be replaced, skin the sod off in large sections about 3-4 inches thick- peel back. Do not cut into little chunks. This will make replacement and re-rooting clean and effective.

Stud Finder
An electric razor can be a just as effective as an electronic stud finder. Turn it on and drag it along the drywall, you will notice a change in the vibration as you cross a stud with it.
Temporary Fix For Dripping Water
If you are having difficulty with a copper joint due to a trickle of water that won't stop, push a ball of bread up the pipe to stop the stream of water. **We at TRUSTED HANDY GUY would prefer wheat- if you have it.**
Tree Trimming in the Spring
Don't trim trees in the budding season (late March or early April) because it adds additional trauma to the tree.
Creating Stronger Products Using Staggered Joints
In many phases of construction the staggered joint produces a stronger finished product. – Horizontal Example- While installing a hardwood floor, the ends of the boards should never line up in consecutive rows. Instead, it is recommended that several rows be installed before boards line up. – Vertical Example- Boarded siding needs to be staggered in a similar way to a hardwood floor- except on a vertical surface.
