Don't waste Kool Aid, just use a bit of sugar in the top . . . and an hour later, if the water in the bowl tastes sweet, you have a leak.

Perfect! Love seeing someone who echoes my internal passion for facilities….as a retired facility manager, maintaining my home has the same importance to me.

Might wanna flip that breaker OFF before u shove a potato into a broken light bulb. If not, you'll figure it out lol

For plastic screens, using thread and stitching the tear up works quite well.

Paint does NOT stick to crayon!! If a child draws on a wall with a crayon, almost no number of coats of Kilz will keep it from bleeding through so plugging a hole with crayon will guarantee it gets noticed by the landlord who will use up your deposit to try fix this unfixible problem. Better is to get a small tub of hole fixer for a couple bucks or just leave the hole empty for the landlord to fix easily. Cheaper for you in the long run.

I remember when I colored on the walls, my mom would just go out and buy Mr. clean and be like, “here”, I would start cleaning the walls
It was totally worth it

I just started my own channel. At first it was just for woodworking until I realized I could not only learn skills on YouTube but also share them. Thanks for the knowledge.

After you remove the tape from the caulk edge, spray the caulk with windex. This allows you to use you finger to run over the caulk and give it a professional look without removing any caulk from the seam.

NAIL HOLE FILLER -Toothpaste Not everyone has bar soap neither... As i am a bachelor and use liquid soap and a loufa, but EVERYONE definitely has toothpaste and can be used to fill holes... Just be sure to use WHITE past and not colorful with sparkles. White Play-Doh works too! And home made clay if you know the correct measurements of flour+waterGreat video! More please 😁

I use cooking oil on creeky door hinges, works like a charm.

I've done a lot of these before but one I did he didn't. I used sugar and flour to plug holes in walls, years later when another friend moved into the same apartment I checked. The holes were still plugged with my sugar and flour mixture.

Vegetable oil, which is used in the aerosol cooking sprays may work for a quick fix but they will quickly "gum" up and cause the hinge to move more slowly, fairly quickly. Some also contain flour which compounds the problem even more. If you look at the hood or vent screens of the ventilation system over a stove you can see this sticky, almost impossible to remove a layer of gummy oil. In the vent system, it becomes a fire hazard if allowed to build up.

Like the narrator said you do indeed need to use WD40 soon after the quick fix as WD40 will break down the accumulated vegetable oil and remedy the problem in the hinge.

Those bumper pads are good to use on the toilet seats when you lift it up. Put tab on tank and lift the lid, no noise.

I saw that potato lightbulb trick on the show "Home Improvement."

[gypsywoman]

Lol I used Pam once to fix a few squeaks around the apartment. It was "buttered" Pam, so the place smelled like popcorn for a while 😅

the iron hack also works for coffee rings. might not take out entirely, but makes it a whole lot less noticeable

[loneriot]

No matter how often i tell YouTube I'm bit interested in this channel it keeps recommending it to me.

[shoppingqueen]

I learned a lot from you. Thanks facts verse.

for candle wax on carpet, use an absorbing type of paper, like the ones from the grocery store. cut into sheets and place over the area of carpet. next use an iron on mid-high temp, place it on the paper only and heat up the wax beneath, now slide the paper from under the iron. don't touch the iron to the carpet though.
