Cutting Firewood
Cut firewood during the light of the moon so it will burn well and stay bright.
Spreading Sand in Winter
Make a fertilizer spreader do double duty. Use it in winter to scatter sand on icy walkways.
Pine Sap Removal
Try adding a small amount of cooking oil onto the pine sap-covered area. The oil should cover all of the pine sap. Rub for a minute or more. The sap should loosen enough to wash away. Repeat if necessary.
Best Beach Marker
Decorate your beach umbrella with painted handprints and art. This will help kids (and adults) find the right umbrella to go to.
Prevent Ice Scraping
Lay a tarp or drop cloth over your car’s windshield before a snowstorm and you won’t have to scrape.
