Duct Tape

Enough can never be said about the benefits and uses of Duct Tape. Being out on the farm its never far from any work area. It covers, seals, supports , stays put, temporarily fixes( and sometimes longer than you thought) just about anything. While a "better" fix may be planned, Duct Tape comes in to play often.
This morning the winds are blowing and the forecast is for a drop in temperatures into the teens over night and again tomorrow. So out comes the duct tape and clear plastic to cover the back porch screen to prevent the high winds from whipping thru the laundry room door.
It works beautifully. Any other tape would come loose. When the weather turns nice again and they're saying by the weekend. Off it will come , to let in the warm breezes.
Duct tape is sealing a leak in our washing machine hose, around the leak on the water hose, was used for a seal around a cork for the drain pipe, and on and on.
If you live in the country, or are thinking about moving to the country. Invest in a supply of Duct Tape. We don't have to be as extreme as Jeff Farnsworthy implies in his humor about the South's use of Duct Tape , but its never the less a very useful tool. Let us know how you've invented a use for Duct Tape.
P.S. I need to make myself a note to look for investment opportunities in the Duct Tape industry.
