Hi everybody, this is Ken, and this is another amazing life hack, following on from the
|
|
immense success of my patent pending, Episode 1801, How to Tell Your Left Earboard From Your
|
|
Right.
|
|
I'm now going to show you how to make an amazing life hack where you can modify your
|
|
ironing board to be taller.
|
|
For some reason, ironing boards tend to be low, and every time I do the ironing, I have
|
|
put a lot of stress on my back, and I've had this ironing board for about 20 years, and
|
|
to be honest, I have no idea why I've not done this before.
|
|
So it's just your bug standard ironing board with a bit of cheap sort of plywood underneath
|
|
with a piece of foam and thingy, and you've got a scissors type connector that gives you
|
|
three settings, low, lower and lost, and after doing some ironing, you're basically
|
|
going to sort back for the rest of the day.
|
|
So what I did was I just put the ironing board up to the height, put it on the ground,
|
|
lift it up, put it on the height where I felt it would be comfortable, and I drew a pencil
|
|
mark.
|
|
Then I got a cheap 90 degree angle bracket, around about 25 centimeters about an inch by
|
|
an inch piece of angle bracket, held the top part with a vice grip, or vice, and hit
|
|
the rest with a hammer, so that when there's a 90 degree angle, it comes up, and just at
|
|
the top half way of the top piece, it just bends over a little bit, like you would cut
|
|
your fingers over.
|
|
And then when I do that, then I've got this extra super high height.
|
|
Now what it does do is it puts the feet, because it's a scissors, it puts the four feet
|
|
slightly closer together, so it's a little bit less stable, but as you're ironing, you
|
|
can hold onto it and be aware of that.
|
|
So that's it, that's my amazing life hack, and one really cool thing about doing ironing
|
|
is you pile it up, and then you can do, you can watch YouTube videos and instructional
|
|
videos, and stuff like that, so great thing to do.
|
|
And you get it all out of the way, whilst the previous chore that you were not looking
|
|
forward to, suddenly comes something that you can get a boring job out of the way, and
|
|
entertain yourself by watching some educational videos.
|
|
Don't get me started on what a massive waste of time ironing is, because essentially
|
|
you're removing ripples out of a piece of clothing that you're going to wear anyway,
|
|
so you're walking around with a ripple less clothing, plus the amount of energy it takes
|
|
off the national grid, for the purpose of just people not seeing rippled clothes.
|
|
Kind of strange if you ask me, but there you go, you have to conform to the social norms.
|
|
Anyway, tune in tomorrow, where the social norm is, another exciting episode, hopefully
|
|
brought to you by you.
