Hurricane Power Out Time

This time of year I check and replace batteries in and about my entire home. Nobody wants to wait until the power is actual off to find and replace batteries. This year, I even replaced batteries in a light up mirror. It’s all white and difficult to find the battery compartment. So, washi tape and a permanent marker later, I have new batteries and have marked the month and year on the tiny hard to find compartment door. Regular masking tape will also work. So quick, and no fancy label maker required!
