Practical Memorandum for Odd Jobs
Not infrequently home or shop mechanics find that trifling odd jobs are neglected repeatedly, simply because they are not of sufficient consequence to warrant getting out the tools or materials necessary for the work. A convenient method of insuring that these small jobs are not overlooked is to make a memorandum of them and place it with the tools required for the work. For instance, if a small job of soldering is to be done, a memorandum placed with the soldering outfit will not easily be overlooked, and the work may be done while the coppers are hot for use in a larger job. Likewise with small painting jobs. Sometimes only a brushful of paint is needed and one does not care to mix a small quantity of paint nor clean the brush afterward. A memorandum of the job makes this unnecessary.—John Hoeck, Alameda, California.
