I was repainting our shed and everyone told me to rent the Graco at $75 a day. Got a Wagner from the hardware store for $40 instead. It clogged twice but I just took it apart, cleaned it with mineral spirits, and kept going. Shed looks fine and I saved money. Has anyone else had good luck with the budget option when the pros said no?
Ran out of the expensive stuff last week and grabbed a ream of the store brand for $3.50, ended up with jams every 10 pages and ink bleeding through. Anyone else find that the $5 paper pays for itself in saved frustration?
I always heard morning was the ONLY time to water so the leaves dry out and you dont get fungus. But this old timer at Armstrong Garden Center was telling some newbie that in SoCal summers the water just evaporates by 10am if you water in the morning. Said he waters his veggie beds at 9pm and they actually soak in deep. I tried it for two weeks on my tomato patch and the difference is wild. Plants look way perkier and I'm using half the water. Anyone else water after dark and not get mold issues?
Got tired of rewashing shirts that looked worse after ironing, so I tried throwing them in the dryer with a damp towel for 10 minutes and now I haven't touched an iron in 6 months - has anyone else figured out a shortcut that felt too stupid to try at first?
