When pulling nails out of drywall use a wide spatula or similar item to spread the pressure from the hammer and prevent a hole in the drywall. Also works well for prying off trim without damaging the wall




If you break the head off a nail that you are trying to pull out use a pair of vice grips to clamp on and then use the rounded part of the grips like a lever to pull the nail out



Going to try to keep adding tips like this if you guys think they are helpfil

Coping is an essential part of installing baseboard molding. If you do two 45 degree angles the tendency is for them to separate over time, especially during dry winter. Instead you pick the longest section that is first seen when you walk into a room, install a piece with flat ends and then cope the pieces that abutt to it so they fit over the molding. This is how I do it

1. Cut at 45 degrees across the face of your molding


2. This gives an outline of the molding



3.clamp it on a workbench



4. Use a coping saw to cut along the edge


5. Finish up with a sharp utility knife, a file or rasp can also be used



Once done the piece will now fit over another piece of the same molding perfectly.

Add a small neodymium magnet to the shaft of your screwdriver to more strongly hold screws/fasteners when required.

Use nail polish to color code your keys



You can also coat the bottom of metal cans left in the bathroom with nail polish to help prevent leaving rust-ring stains

When painting, remember to press the edge of your masking tape down, to prevent paint from bleeding underneath.

When you have an open tube of caulking you want to keep, stick a screw in the end and then apply some tape over(not seen in picture) the opening and screw, to try to reduce air exposure. When you need it again, you can take the tape off and pull-out the screw which should bring with it the dried up bits of caulking at the end, which would otherwise plug up the opening. Works for me, but some types of caulking just like hardening up, even if not opened, no matter what you do, so as a bonus tip: check the expiry dates of caulking you are buying. :thumbup:

You can get very affordable (<$30) USB inspection camera's that can be used with your phone for a very handy tool when needed.

A plumb bob is a useful tool for measuring/marking a point beneath another point of reference.
