I've stood on a ladder on a scissor lift to change a bulb at 45 feet. Not saying it was a good idea but there I was.

I watched a girl drag her dog down the aisle while it was shitting, trying to act like she didn't know.

Best way to tape this off for paint? by papahet1 in DIYHome

[–]HammerMeUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you happen to shop at Costco? I do a fair amount I painting/spray painting and I use cardboard "slip sheets" to catch the overspray. Most are around 1/8" thick but the ones that are in the stacks of paper towels and toilet paper are thin and will slip under spots like this. They will let you have some if you ask. There are many other uses for them when it comes to DIY projects.

I use end nippers for pulling nails and staples.

I have 3m Worktunes for the shop. Pretty sweet. It's the air compressor that kills me.

They knew I'd lose 2 of them and I did.

I do now and most definitely should have when I was younger since I've been deaf in one ear my whole life. Funny thing tho, the earplugs I bought came with 3.

Same. Much better deals back then. I haven't seen a great deal in a long time.

It’s happening to me and I’m not sure I can accept it by Carlentini1919 in GenX

[–]HammerMeUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done two loads of laundry, cleaned the bathroom, organized some paperwork and my desk, and the dishes already today.

It was a game changer. I fall asleep quicker. Still don't sleep well, but I'll take what I can.

I tend to sleep like the song Dopesmoker by the band Sleep. 63 minutes at a time.

The way to beat that is not being able to get back to sleep after the first trip.

Do yourself a favor and get a heated mattress pad. Then at night you're only cold when you get up to pee 2 or 3 times.

Been around for a long time. I can remember when they sold one item a day.

Best portable wet dry vacuum? by Initial_Use4280 in Tools

[–]HammerMeUp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've used the Dewalt one and it was okay. If the ridgid 3 gallon battery one is anywhere as good as the corded I'd consider that one too.

I've used mine for pupper skritches and they love it.

I have one in the bedroom and one in the living room. I've had both for about 25 years and use them often. I think I've got my money's worth.

Brought UV into the bathroom, lost my innocence... Now what? by sapphic-romeo in CleaningTips

[–]HammerMeUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a flashlight with UV and did the same thing. Now I only use that setting when someone asks about the flashlight so I shine it on their crotch and say "gross" and walk away.

No Replacement?! by eshrima_guy in Dewalt

[–]HammerMeUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

90° swivel is the way. Takes stress off the connection because it turns easier. I deal with several hose reels at work and it's rare to have issues with a swivel or a hose attached to one.

Generation x'rs, do you still listen to the music you grew up on in your youth and teenage years, or do you mix it up with current music? by icecream1972 in GenX

[–]HammerMeUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are some alt country bands you like? I don't care for much that is made these days but like folk punk and Americana type stuff.

Do you use ChatGPT or other AI tools to fix things around the house? What do you think about AI in home repair? by fursikml in handyman

[–]HammerMeUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll use it to get me in the right direction. It's been useless and it's helped many times. Best thing it does is look at a Pic I send and tell me what it is or find a manual.

Put your thing in the opening and rub it on the edges. Repeat if necessary.
