Okay, I ripped a little of the paint off along with the tape.Easily fixable though when I go through and do my last few touch ups.. One last little revelation I had: When you’re laying down your bead of caulking, you want to move in the same direction as you’re squirting with your gun.

So that means that as you squirt a little out, you immediately smooth it over with the tip of the gun.It sounds counter-intuitive, but it really makes for a lot less waste and a  lot less mess.I’ve always felt like I should put down a perfect bead and then smooth it after, but there’s not need!

It makes for a lot less unhealthy finger smoothing afterwards too.. Don’t forget to open a window as well while the caulking is curing!This was a new one for me too, I have to admit.

Oh the things you learn when you actually read the packaging, right?I know I already posted once today, but I just wanted to pop in and show you this really quick little makeover we did a few days ago on this table I found in our garage.. Actually what happened was that Kennedy came home from school not feeling so well and so I put her to work helping me with a DIY project.

Doesn’t everyone force their kids into child labour when they’re sick?.Oh, those cucumber beetles.

Two weeks ago, I didn’t even know what they were.Then one morning I found about 20 on each of my pumpkins, squash, cucumbers, melons, etc.

I tried the old soap and water trick.That did nothing.
