Fixing Leaky Faucets and Pipes
To fix a leaky faucet, start by turning off the water supply, disassembling the faucet, and replacing the worn-out parts. For leaky pipes, use pipe sealant or plumber's tape to seal the leaks.
Repairing Drywall Damage
For small holes, use spackle or joint compound to fill the hole, sand it smooth, and repaint. For larger holes, use a drywall patch kit and follow the instructions for a seamless repair.
Replacing Damaged Tiles
Remove the damaged tile by breaking it and carefully chiseling away the remaining pieces. Apply adhesive to the back of the new tile and press it into place. Grout the tile and wipe away the excess.
Fixing Squeaky Doors and Floors
For squeaky doors, tighten the hinges or use lubricant to reduce friction. For squeaky floors, use a screw to secure the subfloor to the joist and eliminate the squeak.
Painting and Touch-Up Work
To freshen up walls or furniture, sand any rough spots, apply primer if needed, and then paint with a roller or brush. For touch-up work, use a small brush to cover scratches and scuffs.
