5 Projects You Can Do At Home During Winter

All bathtub caulks eventually becomes dark because of the moisture-loving mildews that grow over the years. It’s disgusting, but it’s easy to fix.

The first step would be to cut out the old caulk using a utility knife a painter’s 5-in-1 tool. Then it’s time to disinfect it with any bleach-based cleaner for thorough effects.

Fixing squeaky doors is the simplest thing to do from this bunch. Remove the hinges one at a time. If it’s open at the bottom, you need to insert a nail and hammer it upwards.

If it’s closed, then you have to insert a putty knife right below where the hinge cap meets the hinge knuckle. Hammer it upwards to free the pin. After that, wipe it clean with alcohol. You just fixed your door!

Inexpensive drawer boxes are easy to fall apart. The only time it’s okay to have those in your house is if you know how to fix them. The solution would be first to remove the drawer and insert a reinforcing block of white pine in the corner of the loose parts.

Once the block is in position, you can hot glue on both the drawer’s side and bottom. This great tip often outlasts even the cabinet or furniture itself.

Stop wasting precious water from dripping faucets. One shouldn’t even need for winter to happen because it’s inefficient and because it sounds very annoying.

Repairing it requires peeling the O rings, replacing the cartridge with a new one. Calling a plumber might also be easy if the need arises.

If you hear your toilet bowl flushing on its own at any time of the day or a trickling sound that never seems to stop, its flapper valves might be worn out.

First, you need to turn off the water source, flush all the water out, check the empty tank, and examine the flapper. See if the chain is still connected correctly, or unhook it away and replace it with a newer one. Turn on the water, fill the tank, and see if the symptoms are still there. If it persists, then ring your nearest plumber!
