Tip of the Day



Glow-in-the-Dark Locators

The television show "Moonlighting" made its debut this day in 1985. It starred Cybill Sheperd and Bruce Willis who together ran a haphazard detective agency. They sought clues and answers -- often late into the night. Maybe you're "moonlighting" a bit, too -- fumbling for front-door key holes at night, and trying to find light switches in the dark. If that's your problem, read on. We always hit the mark with things that glow in the dark. To find light switches and key holes -- even on the darkest of nights -- add a dab of phosphorescent paint on the tip of the switch -- or just above the key hole. It'll glow in the dark for eight hours or more, making what you're looking for easy to find. Phosphorescent paint is sold in most craft stores. Small pieces of peel-and-stick glow-in-the-dark stars for kids' rooms can be used as an alternative. For more tips, visit our Web site at Onthehouse.com.
