Seriously though, Pinterest is a scary thing some times. I spend far to many nap time hours when I should be scrubbing or cooking, looking for ways to scrub or cook on Pinterest instead. That being said there are some fantastic ideas on there. And, conversely, some not so fantastic ideas. I'm going to, on occasion, do something I like to call "Pinbusters" like Mythbusters, but with pins. I'm not going to commit to a certain day of the week etc, I have far too many ideas to pin to spend my time actually doing them! Without further ado, here is Pinbusters Episode 1.
So, last year when it got icy my husband, Pat continually bought deicer for the car. Let me take a second to mention that this wonderful man scrapes my car for me every morning I go to work. Even when he leaves before me, I come out in the morning to a ice free car.
Anyway, I digress. The point is it was the first frost of the season and the deicer had not been purchased. I didn't want Pat going to the store to get deicer at 10:00pm so I turned to the most wonderful of nearly-holy websites (that's Pinterest, for those of you who may not have been paying attention) and looked for a DIY version. I stumbled across this:
1 part water
Spray on the night before and supposedly in the morning you have an ice free car. It's even supposed to last until the next strong rain! Too good to be true right? Right.
This is the sight that greeted me in the morning. Pat even scraped the car when he left at 6 then I had to scrape it again at 7:45. Oh and PS, the car still smells like vinegar...on the inside!
