a must-have

If you don't have one of these upright sweeper sets, you must drop that drywall sander and run out to the store to purchase one. What with all the dirt you're making, you'll need it. I've spent my whole life bending down and sticking my face into little clouds of dust to sweep into a traditional dustpan. This set eliminates the need to bend. Hurrah!

The image above is a Casabella Duck Upright Sweep Set, which seems to be available everywhere from The Container Store to Cost Plus to amazon.com. It's the one I have (but mine is blue), and I recommend it. But if you find another one you like better, snag it.
