The Easiest and Laziest Way to Clean Your Paintbrushes

I knew there had to be an easier way! After my parents cleaned my paint brushes for me one day and the bristles were all nice and soft, I just couldn't go back to using crusty brushes. But I still didn't want to put in all that work!

  • Painting 101:
  • This bathtub is 30+ years old, and has seen many renters come and go before we bought our condo.  It was stained, but didn't have any cracks or chips, so I decided to paint rather than replace.
  • The bathtub with it's new shiny bright white paint.  I couldn't get the two drains off, so I just painted right over them. 1
  • The first coat of paint going on.  You can see how dingy and drab the color of the tub was compared to the bright white paint. 2

DIY Painted Bathtub

I just finished painting my bathtub a couple of days ago. I used Rust-Oleum Tub & Tile Refinishing Kit, and it's still curing (you're not supposed to get water on it for three days), but ...»
the paint seems very durable. Of course, it IS paint, so it won't last forever, but I think this is a very good solution if you want a somewhat easy fix for an ugly, outdated tub, and don't quite have the budget for a complete replacement. More details (including a video) at the link below.

it in the shower. That way everything is ready to go. When you get in, wet the sponge, and scrub away. Next, well, take a shower. That's it. I do a little section of the shower each day and work my way around the whole area about twice a week.

If the mixture gets thick, just add a little water. Also, I would caution that it is important to rinse well, and keep out of eyes as you would any cleanser.

  • Here is my tea pot fountain in full bloom. 7
  • We drilled a a hole in the tea pot and then threaded it. We attached flanges to a solid concrete block to support both the tea pot and the gold pan. The block is heavy enough to support the weight of the unit underwater. 5
  • We then built a support for the gold pan and dropped the unit into the whiskey barrel. We added a fountain pump and inserted tubing up through the tee on the bottom of the pipe that supports the tea pot and into the tea pot. 1
  • Add water and your done! The unit is free standing so it can be leveled and no holes are drilled in the whiskey barrel. I put it all away every winter and take it out and set it up in the spring. 1
  • Last year we poured a concrete base that the whiskey barrel sits on so it doesn't sink into the dirt. 1
