To make painting with a
roller easier, line the paint
tray with heavy foil or paper.
Colors then can be changed
quickly. Use long - handled
rollers or extension handles
for ceilings and floors. Always
start painting with an upward
stroke, and if the surface is
horizontal, work away from
yourself.
A pound of rhubarb will
make about five servings of
fresh sauce or about a pint of
canned or frozen sauce.
Wrap sprinkled laundry
loosely in a plastic sheet or
bag. . This helps distribute
moisture evenly and prevents
drying.
