tool tip day

Do you have a tool that just makes things easier? Well I have a few and I thought I’d share them with you.

Today’s tool is something I’ve ~~stolen~~ borrowed from my poor sainted hubby. It’s a mechanics’ roller seat. These are mostly used in the garage for auto repair but they are awesome for painting low on a walls or furniture. There’s a place under the seat for tools so they’re handy.

When I’m prepping a wall for painting, it’s the first thing I grab. I scoot along taking off the low outlet plates and then taping over the electrical outlets. I keep it around, so I can paint the lower parts of the wall. I again use it to put the switch plates back on and clean up any drips on the floor. Ta da! I’m done and it can go back to the shop. I really need one with super large wheels to work in the garden so I can do my “scooting” thing there.
