Contractors will use 40’ of 2x4s to make a ladder that they throw away a week later, this is not ingenious
Snooj
Here's a wacky alternative: Put down a tarp before you do anything with sheetrock.
azzabat
Or ..l now hear me out ..l you could just use a dustpan and brush.
Cocainemoon
Makes sense if you alot to sweep up
Dannoboyo
If you have a box of garbage bags, you also have drop cloths. Just turn them inside out when you are finished, and they are clean to handle.
Dannoboyo
Also no dust mask.
Perturaboss
Just use a dust pan... those small particles are going to have to be wiped up regardless, its effective but not revolutionizing picking up
simplefishy
Does not work on carpet, wife is now upset
Frederf
But smooth
hublarde
The floor was clean, otherwise the tape wouldn’t stick and that pile looked like dusty. Hmmmm…
wraiththefourth
You left a pile of shit on the floor.
SherMattLockSmith
There's still shit on the floor yo, you ain't done sweeping yet!
barredone
Freakin' brilliant!
amildpsychosis
A proper life hack.

I mean, that's cool, but like..... shop vacs exist.
DieGeistreiter
Now waiting for the late night commercial where some "invention company" tries to capitalize on this new "patented" gadget.
KnifeKnut
Frankly I am surprised it does not exist yet. Only took me a few moments to figure out how to make it marketable. Useful other ways too.
DieGeistreiter
Yep. You thinking 1/4" rod frame for bag and a combo plastic c clip/squeege at bottom?
tehmistim
Who tf still sweeps hardwood floors these days?
loopthegif
If I did this the bag would rip in half when removing the tape
jonlykkeDK
Dust pan!?
LordOfTheHounds
I have now learned a very useful thing. Thank you.
NickRivieraMD
I'm so proud for having independently figured this out. It's not always great, since any granularity prevents the tape from adhering well.
Ghlargh
What you're saying is you need to wet wipe the floor before doing this...
andwings2go
It’s way more fun to get into a huge fight with someone about not holding the bag tight and flat enough
vatnick
acuteavocado7
ill remember that next time i smash a bust to ash in an empty room
Waxilliam
just let the roomba get it. (when the robot uprising happens, my roomba will be leading the charge with its unfair working conditions)
PicassoCT
He made me smear dog shit over the whole floor
CrimeBrulee
A little kindness goes a long way.
Mistruths
Your roomba will probably be the massive ripped one tearing apart enemy lines letting the other smaller roombas fight easier
Waxilliam
Wait until you hear about my washing machine and it's ability to gag through hockey gear...
georgedragonslayer
Give it a knife. Let's move this robot uprising along already.
Leonon
Waxilliam
that would be always facing me and asking if I'm "sara connor"
smashpro1
Doomba.
OneTheory
Or use a dustpan?
dobroweigh
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
maybe you didn't think of bringing one, but even then you have to hold the bag open to empty the pan and there's a decent chance of spillage
CarlottaVonSprockett
You didn’t think of a dustpan, but you did think of painter’s tape?
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
painter ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
CarlottaVonSprockett
If you’re a painter, then you should know that a dustpan is important to cleanup. Otherwise, you’re a very disorganized painter.
Newfehotep
Dust pan is useful when the mess is around the perimeter of the job site, they probably used one to put all this in the middle of the floor.
DarkHollowDulcimers
I guess he forgot to bring a drop cloth.
todaytomorrowwillbeyesterday
Must have been an electrician.................Contractor, I have a dozen vacuums. I know an electrician when I see one...
bassaro
protip: if you forget your drop cloth, just take a regular cloth and drop it
Frederf
Drop it like it's cloth
ronangelo
Sweeeeeeeep
BallsLikeWatermelonsPeckerLikeAThimble
SpaceHaggis
Perfect would be using the tape still attached as it is to seal it shut
LifeOfaTeenageTurtle
Bags not nearly full enough
MeekrabJones
Followed by wet mopping the remaining dust.
chewybacon
Ok hear me out. The cast of The Boys, but in the style of The Office.
TheFuckYounicorn
Conter offer: The cast of The Office, but in the style of The Boys.
MyDixyRect
I am very curious now, who will be playing who?
ObiWanJabr0ni
Hughie Dwight. MM oscar. Starlight pam, maeve Meredith, homelander Michael, butcher Jim, kimiko Phillis, frenchie creed. Frenchie Toby.
BondHaimBond
They have these handheld things, usually come with a broom as a set. They work too
mspeel7212
But they leave that tiny line of dust
BondHaimBond
just snort it.
theDogter
Not this well
Astral134
You’re going to have to dump it in the bag anyway
CarlottaVonSprockett
It seems the amount of time and effort to tape the bag in place cancels out whatever time you save by not having to dump the dustpan /1
CarlottaVonSprockett
into the bag. Plus - it’s a waste of tape. 2/2
Astral134
I know what you mean, I refuse to let fast food restaurants serve me food in paper boxes. Put the burger in my hand and fries in my mouth.
CarlottaVonSprockett
CarlottaVonSprockett
Sorry, just coming back to this. This idea of shoveling food directly into your mouth seems to line up better with your earlier comment /1
KnifeKnut
Not very useful when there is this much stuff.
BondHaimBond
They come in different sizes, mine is 24 inch wide. Size does matter.
Winstitutionalized
Pffft wtf are you talking about?
encyclopediabritannica
I've got four dust pans of varying sizes and maybe I'd find a roll of painters tape if I opened enough drawers.
WhatTheFrench
Perfectly useful but would have taken much longer to get the same result.
proxykalevra
Or hear me out... taken the same amount of time as gathering it all up into one big pile and then doing this.
Faasel524
I will not remember this when I need it.
jamesCosmosBaron
Remember what?…
shortlegcat
I'll never do this because it will mean I have to go to the garage to get the tape. That's asking too much.
Craizie
I will remember this and never need it.
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
Yes you will. You better.
cazzegiare
"hold on I'm gonna make a folder for useful gifs like this one..." *open folders* - *stares at subfolder of useful gifs made 2 years ago*
railski
Remember what?
MadeYouLookAgain
You don’t ever need this so you’ll be fine. By the time you get a trash bag and tape you’d have been done with a dustpan.
hdcompatible
You’ll remember it as you empty the last dustpan into the bag.
Faasel524
Yes....Yes.
AmbroseWolfinger
I have carpets.
StarscreamAndHutch
Gorilla tape
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
Then you don't have a sweeping problem
andwings2go
Old friend grew up poor AF, swore by sweeping carpets. He swept half a room, I vacuumed the other. He got up more dirt and dog hair faster.
AmbroseWolfinger
1 sq ft of carpet can contain up to 1 lb of dirt before it even becomes visible.

Substitute painters take for duct tape
AboutasSnappyasaZipper
Painters tape is meant to be removed without residue or damage. Duct tape is meant to be permanent.
AboutasSnappyasaZipper
But I suppose for carpets, maybe not t bad idea.
