The More You Know

  • Instead of picking a hobby that you're already skilled at or one that's impossible to master, pick something you feel confident you can see major improvement with.
  • Every homeowner should have a flexible-shaft pick-up tool for grabbing stuff out of hard-to reach spots. They're also great for yanking clogs out of drains!
