I need to remember this when I am about to give up and think that what I am doing is failing! I am just getting closer to the answer!

1. Paint wire tables or fences with a sponge instead of a brush. Put paint in a roller pan and dunk the sponge to wet.
2. Get rid of weeds or grass between bricks and in rock areas by pouring boiling water on them.
3. Clean aluminum furniture by using a plastic dish scrubber soaked in detergent; then scrub and hose it down.
4. Scrape your fingernails on a bar of soap before you begin gardening. Even if you wear gloves, it makes cleaning your nails easier.
5. Put a coffee filter in the bottom of a flower pot before adding soil. It cuts down on the mess and helps keep moisture in.
6. Before screwing the end of the hose into the spigot, rub both with petroleum jelly. This will make it easier to screw on and off.

Well, Thats it! I hope you enjoyed your quick trip shortcut tip list!
