Tip of the Day



Tell-Tale Paint

The first recorded eclipse happened in 1375 BC when the moon passed in front of the sun. To everyone's amazement, it changed day into night! Today, another amazing transformation is taking place on the ceilings of homes coast-to-coast. That transformation is paints that go on in color and then gradually change to pure white. ?Why?, you say? Think about it: When you re-paint a white ceiling white, it's hard to tell when you've missed a spot. Now, two new paints offer a fool-proof solution with a temporary color that soon fades away and forever eliminates coming back for touch-ups. E-Z Track by Glidden is pre-mixed with pink dye that disappears in about thirty minutes. Simply Magic by Ace has a separate packet of dye you stir into the paint that turns it pale blue for about three hours. Both generally cost under twenty dollars, and it's how you can say (as a matter of fact): ?Now I'm sure I've been there and done that!?
