Two-second tip: how to drill a hole in your wall without making a mess

🖨 Print Article

I heard Adam Carolla mention this quick tip, and it really works.  I had to pass this along.  If you need to drill a hole in your wall and you don't want to make a mess on the floor, just use a Post-it® note.

Paper under hole
3/8" hole in a 2×6

You make a couple of quick folds, paste the paper on the wall, then drill your hole.  All of the drywall dust or whatever you're drilling in to will fall on to the paper.  Done and done.

Reuben is a second-generation home inspector with a passion for his work. He grew up remodeling homes and learning about carpentry since he was old enough to hold a hammer. Reuben grew up thinking he was going to be a school teacher because he enjoyed teaching others so much. In a sense, that’s a lot of what home inspections are about, so Reuben truly does what he loves. Sharlene has worked with Structure Tech since 2000 and Reuben has been contributing to her blog since 2008.

    haha I was surprised to hear an Adam Carolla tip, but he’s got some neat ideas if you withstand the type of humor.

    Anyway, I love the blog. Keep it up.
