Re-Purposing That Cooking Spray

around the house...

You may know this...might never have crossed your mind...

but if you have one or more of these who like to *L*I*C*K * whatever/whomever cannot run away fast enough...

or one of these who likes to get into everything not intended to be gotten into...then try using your cooking spray on those Squeaking Door Hinges because that ceaseless squeaking will drive a person to Crazy Land...

I mean I'm not an expert or anything on this* but I figure slurpin' up WD-40 is probably not good for one's gastric system, human or otherwise...so I'll just be on the safe side and try to avoid that tragedy-waiting-to-happen-slash-ginormous-vet-bill...I believe we're already financing a new wing on the vet clinic as is**

First, my closet door started...eeeek eeeeeeek eeeeeeekkkk...and every time during the of the day that damn door eeked at me, I'd make a mental note: Spray Hinges...that went on for at least 3 or 4 weeks...Additional Footnote: the laundry basket resides in my closet so DH is in & out of that closet several times a day too...just sayin'...

Then, the garage door started....eeeek wweeeeeeeeeeellll...Mental Note: spray hinges...Footnote: DH is in & out of this door more than I can count...

Then one of the interior french doors started...errrrrreeeeeekkkkkk...Mental Note: Doesn't this bother him*** at all?...Spray Damn Hinges My Own Damn Self...We won't even bother with the Footnote here, okay?

Yesterday, it became a Matter of Sanity to, finally, make myself stop in the middle of going from Point A to Point B in the house cleaning, go to the kitchen, get the spray and Take Care of Business...

aaaahhhh....sweet non-squeaking door silence...

The Cherry on Top? DH wanders up to the last door where I'm spraying, swingin' door widely to-and-fro to work the spray in, spraying again...and says "aren't you just the little Miss DIY..."

Don't worry...he only got The Stare****...

**********************************************************************
*as I said: Not a professional on squeaking door hinges or using cooking spray on them...don't have a fit if you do it and you get a funky residue or the finish comes off...I'm just sayin' I've done it for years without a problem...that's all...will not be financing all new hinges in your house :)

**L-O-V-E our vet...but, seriously? with all the FB (Furry Babies) that shack up here, our vet bills already sit right next to our mortgage in the Expense Category...

***of course not...

****Not the Assault with the Cooking Spray he was buckin' for...
