Unclog a Drain
To unclog a drain, start by using a plunger to create suction and dislodge the blockage. If that doesn't work, try using a drain snake or a mixture of baking soda and vinegar to break up the clog.
Fix a Leaky Faucet
To fix a leaky faucet, start by turning off the water supply to the faucet. Then, disassemble the faucet and replace any worn out parts such as the O-rings or washers.
Repair a Hole in the Wall
To repair a hole in the wall, start by cleaning the area around the hole and filling it with spackle. Once the spackle is dry, sand it down and paint over the area to match the rest of the wall.
Replace a Broken Tile
To replace a broken tile, start by removing the grout around the tile and then carefully chipping away the broken tile. Apply new adhesive and grout, and then place the new tile in the space.
Fix a Running Toilet
To fix a running toilet, start by checking the flapper and the fill valve for any wear or damage. Replace any worn out parts and adjust the water level to stop the running.
Repair a Squeaky Door
To repair a squeaky door, start by applying lubricant to the hinges. If that doesn't work, try tightening the hinges or shimming the hinges with cardboard to eliminate the squeak.
Paint a Room Like a Pro
To paint a room like a pro, start by preparing the walls by filling any holes or cracks and sanding down rough spots. Use painter's tape to protect trim and edges, and apply paint in even strokes.
Install a New Light Fixture
To install a new light fixture, start by turning off the power to the fixture at the breaker box. Remove the old fixture, connect the wires of the new fixture, and then secure it in place.
Fix a Stuck Window
To fix a stuck window, start by cleaning the tracks and lubricating them with silicone spray. If the window still doesn't budge, check for any obstructions and adjust the sash or frame as needed.
Repair a Damaged Screen Door
To repair a damaged screen door, start by removing the old screen and replacing it with a new one. Use a spline roller to secure the new screen in place, and trim any excess material.
