Tips: - Can you guess the weight of a cubic foot of aluminum?
A. 45 lbs.
B. 112 lbs.
C. 145 lbs.
D. 169 lbs. Answer: D -- 1 cubic foot of aluminum weighs 169 pounds, and is enough to make 4901 aluminum cans! - Unused paint can be an environmental hazard if disposed of improperly. Donate your leftovers to a local school or theater group that will use it creatively!
- Use a hinge to connect a couple of 2 x 4's, add a jar lid to one side and put handle on top and you've created a simple can-smasher that will maximize your recycling space.
- Gesundheit! Mist a dusty floor with water and you'll prevent dust clouds from forming when you sweep.
- A hair dryer is the right tool for softening adhesive on stubborn stickers, labels, and tapes.
- Instead of going through the trouble of scraping and stripping weathered wood shutters, consider flipping the exposed side of the shutters against the house and painting the backs.
