Stinky Room Contest & new Stanley Level app

April 17th, 2009  |  Published in DIY, contest, decor, painting  |  4 Comments

It’s gorgeous out today and thoughts of revitalization via chilling out on a patio is just as strong as a compulsion to do some spring cleaning. Do I want to test spend Saturday afternoon at the Mill St. Brew pub, or get a couple of cans of paint to freshen up the bathroom?

Perhaps, if I had the “stinkiest” room in America, I would choose the latter. The My House Stinks challenge offers contestants who post pics of their rooms to enter and win a room maker over. You can also vote for the winner. I wonder if corporate Canada has some like-minded contests afoot?

Those who forgo the public humiliation and prefer to DIY may find the new IPhone and IPod Touch level application created by Stanley Tools helpful. While it may not 100% accurate, reviewers say it’s quite handy and hey, it’s free.  Here’s a Gizmodo.com story for more details, including a link to the download.

Whatever your choice may be, A or B or none of the above, here’s to warmer and longer days for finally getting around to fixing up the homestead and other good stuff.

    The level apps for the iPhone/iPod Touch are very clever, but do many people use them for real DIY?

    I’ve downloaded it myself as they are handy apps to show off the accelerometer chip, but I’ve not actually used it for anything sensible (yet!).

    I actually saw a show called “Stagers” last night on HGTV and the home stager used his iphone level to make sure everything was, well, level.

    After seeing it on this article I downloaded the level app for my iphone and I have to say I think it’s one of the coolest apps I have come across!
