TIP AND TRICKS FOR MAKING LIFE EASY 8
BLISTER-PACK CRACK
Blister packs—the impenetrable rigid plastic packaging that
all of your kids’ toys come in nowadays—are the worst. Do these companies not
want kids to play with their stuff, or what?!
Even giant scissors can fail at this
task. But there is a way. Take your blister pack and use a garden variety can
opener along the side of it, thus opening the outer edge of the plastic
monstrosity with comparative ease. Take that, evil blister pack inventor—you’ve
been hacked!
NO-DUST DRILLING
The dust from drilling holes in walls can get everywhere.
(I’ve even found some on the cat.) Here’s how to make it mess-free.
When the drilling urge comes over
you, grab your trusty power tool and a pack of sticky notes. Mark where you
want to drill, stick a sticky note underneath, and then fold the note up to
form a little trap for the dust. When you’ve finished drilling the hole, empty
the dust in a container and reattach the sticky note beneath the next drilling
point. NB—this will not work with a hammer drill with a bit the size of your
arm—that will need a whole pack of sticky notes.
GARDEN RAKE TOOL ORGANIZER
If your man shed resembles a
mini-junkyard, you’re in for a treat (you have a man shed, right?). No more
hunting aimlessly for the right-sized wrench for the job. This handy hack
enables you to arrange your tools for ease of access. Take one old, rusty rake,
detach the head, and hang it up on the wall. Then organize your implements and
stand back to admire your handiwork. This hack doubles as a stress-reliever.
Tidy tools = tidy mind.
