Sponge Brush

The internet just has so many resources! I am indeed a googaholic! I was searching for a video on how to patch holes in the wall (or something like that), and while I was watching it, I saw the guy using a "sponge brush". I haven't really seen one before. But I thought it might intrigue the husband. I sent him the link. Whaddya know, that very evening, we were owners of a sponge brush - TWO to be exact! We got them from Home-Fix at the Waterfront, Desa Parkcity. I don't think you would be able to get this at your resident chinese hardware shop ... I think they'd scoff at it ... "What? Why do you need this? Just take a paintbrush or sponge-lah!"

The 3 different prices for the 3 different sizes :)

CS loved it! He managed to use it to paint perfect-straight-line borders between the coloured wall and the white wall. Very suitable for melancholic personalities! :)

Drill Dust Collector

I came across this wonderful inexpensive gadget the other day! No, I don't do the drilling, CS does - and a wonderful job he does. The other day in the office, a few workers came to add on plug points. Oh boy, what a mess they made. My colleague and I got talking and she says that her FIL never lets contractors drill without using a drill pouch. "What's that?" I asked. She briefly told me but couldn't tell me much more. I then referred to the wonderful world of google to find out what it was.

Oh wow!!! What a find!!!

CS had been drilling our walls to put up curtain rods, and there was just one more wall to do. I forwarded this to him and that evening itself, he did this in 30 seconds (tops!) and we used this. All I can say is...

Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow!

No more messiness when drilling! We won't ever need to fear drilling over clean stuff anymore. This little drill dust collector works like magic!

Try it!!!
