Reusable Cardboard Boxes - Trusted Handy Guy

Are you using a cardboard box to store items and have to re-tape it each time you close the box? Next time try covering the top flaps completely with packaging tape, then tape onto the layer of packaging tape. This will allow secure closing and easy opening again and again.

Shutting Off Gas and Water

Store Open Paint

 

Glass jars are great because they are less likely to allow the paint to dry out and you can always tell the color of the paint inside. To ensure the paint doesn't seal the lid on and to further the air tight seal, run a couple layers of Teflon tape around the jars threads before putting the lid on.

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.
