34. Locate Nail Holes Using Magnets

As years go by it is normal to get over the color of the walls in your home, which then leads to the idea of changing the wallpaper in certain rooms around the house. Before any of this work can commence you would need to take down any ornaments hung on the wall. Of course, once the job is done, you may want some of the things rehung which is not as tricky as it may appear to be. The last thing you want to do when hanging stuff is making new holes, and neither do you want to use small nails into the existing ones. Once the painting is complete all you need to do is hover a magnet over the walls in search of previously used holes.
