This issue's tip comes from Coquitlam, B.C.-based Kjell Nymark of Precision Hardwood Floor Services:
This cheap piece of plastic is what we refer to as a "crazy carpet," which is, of course, for the kids to use for sledding. But we've found it's also useful on the wood flooring job site. Just slide the crazy carpet inside a new empty garbage bag. It makes it much easier to empty your sanding bags from the big machine. When the bag is full, slide the crazy carpet out and stick it in a new bag.
