I have long known the value of duct tape for both emergency and permanent repairs. It’s remarkably good stuff.
Yesterday, I extended duct tape
into the realm of personal protective equipment (PPE).
While sawing the tails off
eight roof trusses where I need to provide backing for my new sunroom’s glazing,
the swirling winds kept blowing sawdust into my eyes in spite of my wearing
safety glasses.
After cutting only two trusses,
I stepped inside my house and hastily applied tabs of duct tape to my safety
glasses to provide a seal around my face.
I like to think I’m a problem
solver. And, thanks to duct tape, maybe
I am.
It wasn’t pretty, but it did
work.
My other option was pulling a
clear plastic bag over my head.
