Another use for those punches...

Now I know this sounds really dumb, but I use these punches as doorstops in my room.

It's starting to get hotter now and I've noticed the afternoon breezes are picking up through my north-east facing door - a tell-tale sign that summer's coming. This means the start of my office doors getting blown closed all the time. They don't have door catchers on them because of the angle they are to the walls behind.   

Cue big punches that are hard to store anyway and problem solvered. Yes, solvered, it's from an ad over here. An old one. It was about paint - can't really remember it too much.

Anyway, punches used as door stops. They work too and I can easily kick 'em out of the way when I need to get to the ribbon and other stuff behind them (which I seem to do quite a lot). Can't do that with a door chock, now can you?

:o)

  1. Ha ha! That's great! I'm currently using my vacuum as a doorstop but a punch will suit my 'decor' better!
