Basic Tools Every Homeowner Should Have
Investing in a basic toolkit with a hammer, screwdriver set, pliers, adjustable wrench, tape measure, and utility knife can help you tackle most DIY home repairs.
Fixing Leaky Faucets and Pipes
Leaky faucets and pipes can waste water and lead to higher utility bills. Learning how to replace washers, O-rings, or even the entire fixture can save you money in the long run.
Repairing Drywall Damage
Small holes and cracks in drywall can be easily patched with spackle or joint compound. Larger holes may require a drywall patch kit and some sanding.
Replacing Worn Out Weather Stripping
Worn weather stripping around doors and windows can lead to drafts and higher energy costs. Replacing it with new weather stripping is a simple and cost-effective solution.
Unclogging Drains Without Harsh Chemicals
Instead of using harsh chemicals, try using a plunger or a drain snake to clear clogs in sinks, showers, and tubs. For regular maintenance, consider using a mixture of baking soda and vinegar followed by hot water.
