There are Packaging Supplies you must have at home

The change in how we work, live, and shop from COVID-19 has had many effects on me and my family.   The extra time we have spent at home due to the COVID-19 Pandemic has left us with many new tasks.  The more time is nice, but the fear and lies from our government and the totalitarian rules are simply sad.  Since we are unable to leave our home for State Regulations we figured we would work on making our home better.  I am sure the state will take over the value of my home, but for now, it is in our hands.  Through many of our tasks, we learned that there really are some items that you simply have to have on hand.  That is an understatement when it comes to working on your home in some cases.  The ability to fix problems before they become emergencies is really important for working on a house.  Sometimes a temporary fix is simply what is needed in order to hold off the end of the world problems that could come and cost you thousands. It is amazing to think that something as simple as tape could be that answer and I must say that there are a few tapes you should have on hand in order to accomplish this goal. Yes, tape can be the difference between success and a $5,000 plumbing bill.



Now, it does sound silly, but having the right tape can be a game-changer for home tasks.  It really goes without saying that the most important of all shipping supplies is the right tape.  I think that duct tape happens to be the most useful of all kinds of tapes.  I didn't know that one of the biggest shipping supplies we use all the time got its roots in war. Duct tape was created back in World War II and it was used for a seal.  Apparently, ammo cans had issues with leaking and they used duct tape to seal them in order to ship ammo safely.  After the war soldiers ended up taking this amazing tape back home and started using it for all sorts of fixes.  It eventually found itself in use for ductwork and homebuilding.  That is where the brand became a legend and everything was history from that point on.  Duct tape is a must in our home. 


This tape is so versatile.  No, joke I am a huge fan of it, if you cannot already tell.  I have used duct tape to put a paintbrush on an extendable pole to paint the exterior of my house after our paintbrush adaptable pole broke.  Instead of driving an hour to pick up one at the shop duct tape gave me a temporary fix to finishing a job.  It cost a few cents to make the contraption and saved hours and probably forty bucks to buy a replacement pole and holder.  This is why I love quick fixes because that day I would have not been able to finish the job if I had to leave to buy a new item.  That would have essentially turned that job into an emergency situation with my wife! 


So keep some good stuff on hand and make sure you get the quality brands.  The Dollar Store Duct tape is not the same quality.
