Hanging exterior wreath
Comments (15)Hang them from the lower portion of your window if the top does not open. ;) Just string the fishing wire up through the crack when your window is opened. I learned the hard way that if your wreaths are not secured on both top and bottom (I use ribbon at the top to hang, and fishing wire at the bottom to secure) that the wreaths (especially the wire ring) will scratch your window glass on windy days. Photo from previous home. Current home I used a nail in our brick. It's permanent and I didn't ask DH if I could do it.hehe...See MoreWhat to coat a rusted hook? Pic- RH
Comments (40)Not exactly a robe hook for me, but something I was determined to use for something else but was concerned about the original finish. The original finish was Satin, much like your robe hook (which I love!). No complaints, worked like a charm. Since then I've used Krylon Satin Clear on sooooo many things around the house. Protects the item, easy to apply, almost goof-proof and very inexpensive. And because it's a Satin finish, doesn't make the item shiny or plastic-looking. A Bunny wall plaque. (I can take a pic and post it if you'd like to see how it turned out). It is a smaller, sorta round plaque with lots of detail but because it's a smaller plaque, I wanted to make sure the detail would show. Tried it all lots of walls. Never quite liked where I tried. Don't even remember what sparked the idea but I decided to use the plaque as a trivet for either utensils while I'm cooking or to set my hot tea pot on while I get the cups ready for tea. Made sure the plaque was super-clean and dry. VERY LIGHTLY from about 3 ft. away I sprayed the plaque...VERY LIGHT FIRST COAT. I let it dry for several hours. Second VERY LIGHT coat. Dry. Third light coat. I've had the plaque clear-coated for awhile now and I don't have ANY yellowing, no flaking of the clear coat, no damage of the plaque or clear-coat from the hot tea pot and I've washed the plaque many, many times in the sink with dish soap and a teflon sponge to get dried stuff off that got dripped on it.

Comments (27)We dry all our clothes indoors all year in the basement and have for many years. There are no signs of mold/mildew anywhere, but I can see how this might happen if you aren't conscious about climate control (humidity/temperature/air-flow), hung laundry more frequently than the twice a week like we do, or hung really large amounts of clothing (we max out at 2 loads). Our home is 9-years old, so the basement is quite sound and no water infiltration or dampness anywhere. The drying room isn't a finished room - concrete on one side and open studs on 2 sides - so it's not enclosed with sheet rock. During 6-months out of the year there is a dehumidifier running in the basement - a necessity in Kansas. The relative humidity is never higher than 45-50% (with an air temperature of 65-70°F) in the summer, and the humidity is always much lower in the winter. I track the relative humidity in the basement at all times because we have a food storage room where the humidity needs to be regulated for optimal storage. Because we also move the air over the wet clothes with a ceiling fan, and a floor fan on the items hanging from a hanger on the rod, the moisture actually dissipates very quickly. Even sheets and pants dry quickly. Pants/slacks/jeans dry quickly because I hang them up-side down from the pants hem. I pin one leg to one line (maintaining the crease in the pants), and the other leg to the line in front of that so the crotch (which typically dries slowly if you hang pants from the waist) is open to the air-flow from the ceiling fan. The weight from the body of the pants actually aids in pulling out any wrinkles and gives pants a nice crease. Everything is dry in a few hours. -Grainlady...See Morehooks in shower for hanging bathing suits and loofas...
Comments (18)We have one of these Over the glass hook that I was going to install turned inward for shower scrunchies but our glass wall turned out to be too tall for it to work for short me. So we turned it outward and use it to hold the bath mat. They also have a style that is installed through the glass. May not work for you but I thought I'd mention them as I had not seen them before our shower glass company showed them to us....See Morebpath
