| Household Repair Kit
|
|
I put together my own little repair and tool box so that when I need to fix something quickly, I don't need to go to the shed and search for the tool I need.

| Paint Caulk With Bleach
|
|
If you have caulking around your windows and it is starting to mildew paint int with bleach and it will get rid of the mildew and turn the caulking white. It will look like you put in new.

| Sew Sheet Clips Directly to a Mattress
|
|
For my queen size bed I found that the corners of the sheets were always coming loose during the night. So I go some of these elastic things that have the clips on either end that you clip on the sheet at the corners. Well this didn't really do the trick either.

| Cap Caulk Tube With Clipped End
|
|
When cutting the top off a tube of caulking, save the end piece. When you are finished using the caulking, turn the piece around and insert into the tube hole. You have a perfect cap and no more dried out caulking.

| Create Display Shelves Above Windows
|
 Some time ago someone posted an idea to use shelves over windows. I had commented that I did the same thing only I used wooden door gingerbread trim to make the side brackets so that I could hang my curtain rods through them.

Home Depot has refurbished generators in stores for a very good price. After the past winter freeze in our area, several generators were returned for various reasons.

I was brushing varnish on my woodwork and my hands were all sticky from it. I needed to remove it but I didn't have any turpentine. I grabbed a container of baby powder and rubbed it into my hands.

| Make an Extension Cord Keeper
|
|
The supplies you will need to make an extension cord keeper are: a small plastic pail, a 2 inch paint roller handle, and an extension cord. Measure on bucket high enough for the handle to turn without scraping the floor.

| Simple Shelf to Organize Shoes
|
 An easy project with three pieces of wood can help organize that pile of shoes at the bottom of your closet. My darling husband constructed this simple shelf, at my request, and his shoes and boots are manageable and tidy. I asked him to make one for my closet too.

| Drag Bed Springs to Grade a Dirt Driveway
|
|
If you have a dirt driveway or lane, this tip is for you. Our lane is 1/4 mile long, and it gets worse every year with deep holes. As soon as it gets wet, either from snow and rain, or from the neighbor's irrigation system, it gets soft and we sink into the mud.
