Life Hacks

[Mr Invisible]

A thread to discuss and show little life hacks you've thought up yourself.

Here's my way of storing garden tools whilst renting.

$100 of Ikea Ivar shelving and side supports, $20 of MDF from Bunnings, and 30 minutes to screw it all together.

Given their range comes in 1.2m (seen here), 1.8 and 2.4m, the sizing is completely adaptable to how many tools you have.

This is good for when you need to get rid of a smell quickly, great for when you're about to get raided by the police and your house smells of bong smoke.

Dig down to the elbows connected to the legs on your meter, solder in a ‘t’ piece on each side, connect a bypass line, cover with soil, close supply valve.

Touché, kind sir!

My building has obviously 'shifted' slightly in recent months, resulting in a door handle-mechanism-screw catching on the door jamb.
Without the elastic band trick, it would remain a 40th storey first-world frustration

Along the same line.
If you can’t reach a deep screw hole, tissue paper on the end of your ball Allen key, will keep the screw on the end until you get it started.
