Prevent outdoor light bulbs from getting stuck in the socket

Removing outdoor light bulbs that are stuck in the socket can be near impossible to do without breaking the bulb and leaving just the base in the socket. To prevent this lightly coat the threaded base of the bulb with petroleum jelly before you screw it in, when it is time to change it, unscrewing it will not be a problem.

Another fireplace tip

To clean glass fireplace doors use a wet sponge to rub on some wood ashes. Next use a clean sponge to rinse off the glass and the dirt as well.
