About Me

I am a “domestic engineer” as they called it in the late ’70s when my mom stayed at home with me. Call me housewife, call me stay-at-home mom, call me tired.

My Daddy’s Cord Trick

May 31st, 2008 by CEO | 1

Cool Cord TrickNot only is this extension cord tucked away in a tote, it is free from tangles due to my daddy’s cool little cord trick. In borrowing this cord (along with my parents’ hedgers) I discovered that I’m not built for yard work. But I did learn how to neatly put away an 100-foot extension cord.

Below is a video demonstration that I found online that shows how to do this much better than I could explain. Apparently this is something electricians have been doing for years. As you can see in the photo, I pulled my cord tighter than the guy in the video but it is the same concept. Enjoy the show.
