Don't Try this at Home

Failing to prepare properly when power washing your home can turn a satisfying experience into a nightmare. Water can not only find its way into the house from an exterior wall vent or window, but other items can be damaged by the blast of water. Cover bushes, electrical and phone junction boxes, and exterior wall vents with plastic, close all windows and doors and move furniture and equipment away from the house. And, as tempting as it might be, don't spray anyone.

Coffee Combo

Rather than buying a special container to hold small amounts of paint for trimming out a room, you can reuse a plastic coffee container instead. Many come with a plastic snap-on lid to keep the paint from drying out, and a built-in handle that doubles as a handy holder for your paintbrush.
