Neccessity is the Mother of Invention

When you are texturing your ceilings the mud goes everywhere. It covers everything within it's reach; including your lights. We wanted to have the lights on but didn't want the hot bulbs to get covered with the cool mud. My husband is always thinking outside the box. He is the one you want to be with if there is a Zombie Apocalypse, he will save everyone with just a ball of twine and some duct tape.

He created this nifty little tool with stuff literally out of the trash.

A piece of scrap OSB, a foam cup, and painters tape.

It covers the light bulb for the short time the hopper is spraying mud where the bulb is. Ingenious!
