GE friends.
I learned from my grand fathers, my uncle, my father and brothers.
There are somethings you have to know to save you time or make sure you do it right.
I'll show you mines as soon as I can take pictures of them.

This one should be common sense, but only two days ago I had to inform somebody of it:

-Loosen the bolts of a car before jacking it up.

-When emptying the contents of a bottle, swirl the bottle around. It'll create a funnel inside the bottle and liquid will leave extremelly fast.

-Use an air compressor so that you wouldn't have to loosen the lugnuts before jacking it up.

Not everyone carries an air compressor in their car there champ. Not to mention, when using a REAL impact gun one runs the risk of breaking the bolt(due to lack of practice and precision).

to remove blood from your carpet, try this:

Mix up a paste of warm water and baking soda ,and smather the spot where the blood is with your mixture of baking soda. Let it sit, and watch all the blood being drawn out of the carpet to the surface. Then clean it with warm water and a rag. repeat for stubborn stains.
