I love ideas like this.  I always misplace my rag so I made a lighter leash thingy into a rag holder. Now I always have my rag!  ;D

Great way to get flyers out. Put postcard size flyers in zip-lock bags with clean gravel (marble chips) in them to wait them down and so you can throw with ease. Fill several 5 gallon buckets with them and hit the road. When throwing out the window, try to hit the driveway close to the mailbox. That way it's not out of the way for the homeowners. You can cover lots of houses quick like this.

Yeah a sag happens when too much paint builds up from a cut line and it dries before it levels out...

I carry a utility knife, a razorblade and a sanding block with me.  At the end of the day I keep them with my keys so I never forget them.  :)

quick tip to avoid that?...when working from a deuce or 2 gallon bucket as you load the brush and tap the sides paint builds up on the side of the bucket...load your brush from the side build up by tapping the tip of the brush against the side loading it with the built up paint, then you can cut in countertops without the sag...try it sometime
I don't do this for a hobby and I'm damn sure I don't need the practice

I can not participate now in discussion - it is very occupied. I will be released - I will necessarily express the opinion on this question.

I recently learned a nice little trick for cleaning up new pine soffits prior to applying oil based varnish.  Many times on new constructions the newly installed soffits are dingy and dirty from laying around prior to installation I.E. boot prints, oily hand prints, black marks, you name it.  I wish it weren't so.  Some very uncomfortable sanding is usually implied, either using a power sander or elbow grease while killing your neck and shoulders.  No bueno.  Turns out if you apply some of your oil base varnish to those stains as you go along with your application, and spot sand the stain the oil actually helps pull out a lot of the stain making sanding out the dirt and prints sooooo much easier.  Simply amazing vs. dry sanding.  Yes, it's a little messy as if you're using a sanding block it will get covered in product.  The benefits are worth it though.  Wish I'd known this years ago.  This allows you to do much of the clean up as you go along with your application, opposed to dry sanding everything and then coming back through a second time doing the actual applications.  It won't work on everything, but for the superficial stuff... magical.  Worth a try.  ;D
