How about a thread of your favorite tips N' tricks? Something most of us could relate to.
i.e. Start your post with a headline like
George Foreman grill. So we know if it is relevant to the reader. Then offer your tip...
Many people have a George Foreman grill. The drip pan gets full or yuck and it's a pain to clean. Fold up 1,2 or 3 paper towels (PT) the long way and put it on top of the drip pan. When your meal is cooked, Toss it in the trash. NO Mess! Tip 2. Clean the grill right away with PT or put some wet PT in it (Turn it off first)! and close the lid. Clean it later. It's very easy then.
Much to my dismay I showed up a day after the scaffolding was taken down in this livingroom that had 40 foot ceilings, and I needed to install 4 ceiling speakers.... (damn)... I wasn't about to use a lift (hallway too narrow), and sure as hell didn't want to haul in a bunch of scaffolding, besides I hate heights! LOL!
...So I thought about it for a second then here is what I ended up doing... I went up into the attic, lowered some speaker wire down through each cut out, and secured a speaker to each wire, and pulled the speakers up (from the attic)... and then adjusted the dog-legs over the sheet rock, Because I had to install them with the grilles already on) and installed wood shims under the dog legs to tighten things up, and then siliconed them.
They, uh, are still up there!

Brilliant!
I know that the lazier I am, The better the idea that I come up with.
You know, they say that "Necessity is the mother of invention".
I'm not sure why, 'cause I always thought Frank Zappa was.

Haha... 39 - yeah I even surprised myself on that one! I felt kinda goofy doing it, but can imagine what a pain it would have been to put up scaffolding??? LOL! I was pretty happy afterwards!

I can't seem to understand what your saying here Stan...
By any chance, did you take pics of the install that you could post...lol

....Light travels faster than sound. That's why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
1) open 'free' photobucket account. 2) use photobucket's browse tab to pick which photos to upload from your computer ....after upload..... 3) place mouse pointer over desired photobucket thumbnail and a drop down menu will give you 4 linking options. Copy the HTML link to your clipboard, and paste into your RC post. 4) stop being harrassed by everybody...lol
For the record...I don't care that you don't post pics, but it's not going to stop me from taking a jab at you from time to time..

This should probably be its own thread but........
Ways Mr.Stanley could have side stepped the pics issue better...
#1. I dont own a digital camera. #2. I am a 35mm man, digital is crap. #3. I am not allowed to post pics because clients wont allow it. #4. Who the hell has time to take pics? #5. You lowly bastards dont deserve to see my work :). #6. Do what i did.. find a few nice pics of someone elses work, claim them as yours and repost them over an over whenever you are challenged :).
If anyone else has other/better ideas please post them.
