Monty by Jim Meddick for October 05, 2018

Is Monty ever on the level?

Nailed it!, several times.

Command strips are the boss.

The one piece of paper on the bulletin board is a to do list: “Fix all the holes in the wall”

Come’on man! There are technologies to do this right. Buy two identical brooms, cut off the broom heads at the same spot on the handles, prop the corkboard on the handles and put in your nails in at the right spot. It’s that easy. But be very careful to cut those broom handles at the right spot the first time. I have identical nail holes down the wall from not cutting them off at the right spot the first time.

“measure twice, cut once” also applies to putting nails in the wall

Now he’ll have to hang something up to cover all the holes in the wall. Will this ever end?

To fix the nail holes in drywall, first wet the holes with sponge, dimple the wet wallboard hole slightly. Let dry, Spackle, sand, and paint.

Easier get a square so you can put the edge against the wall and if you need to a level to make it as close as possible. No cutting involved.

Looks almost like bullet holes—the site of Monty’s St. Valentine’s Day Massacre of the wall….
