Simple Solutions
Breadbox Charging Garage – Make a dedicated parking garage for your cell phone, tablet, digital camera and other rechargeable electronics, out of a wooden breadbox. Drill a hole in the back of the box and mount a power strip inside. Place the breadbox on the kitchen counter. Now you’ve got a place to organize—and hide—all your rechargeable devices.
Pool-Noodle Ladder Guards – To prevent your extension ladder from scratching the house, make a pair of protective mitts from a pool noodle. Cut a 12- to 14-in.-long section of noodle, slit it lengthwise, then slip it onto the upper rails of the ladder. Now when you lean the ladder against the house, the pool-noodle mitts will protect the siding.
