Tip of the Day



Good Day for a Hanging

You want to hang pictures or photos on your walls, but you don’t want to leave a bunch of holes. Before you hammer on a papered wall, cut a small “V” where you want your picture hook. Then wet it down and peel back the “V” -- and pound in your nail or hook. When you wish to get rid of the hook, remove it, dampen the “V” and smooth it back in place. If you want to skip holes altogether, hang your stuff from above with clear fishing line. It’s nearly invisible. And that's the On The House tip for today.
