Drip. Drip. Drip.
One of the worst fears for any new (and experienced) home owner is the sound of dripping water.
Is it a running tap? Is it a leaking air conditioner? Or is it coming from the toilet bowl?
Just like any product on this good Earth, nothing lasts forever. Wear and tear will settle in after repeated use.
The question then is…
Should you engage a professional or are some of these problems simple enough for you to conduct your own home repair?
That’s the challenge we set ourselves for and in this article, we’ve scour the internet (Youtube actually) to find simple home repair solutions you can do on your own.
(Note: remember to always conduct some basic research first, especially on anything dealing with electricity as you don’t want to damage critical functions around the house)

And even if you do find the culprit (that leaking pipe) you might not know what to do about it.
Thankfully, solving a minor issue doesn’t have to be too confusing. In this video, expert Nicholas Larocci shows you how he fix it with your everyday garage tools.
What to Do When the Lights Go Out
Everyone knows how to replace a light bulb. (At least we hope everyone does)
But what happens when you need to replace your light switch? (That little button to turn on and off your lights)
Youtube channel Erik Asquith decided to take things one step further by changing a traditional light switch into a modern digital display. Same concept, same steps, totally different results.
Take a look.
The Hole in the Wall
Literally.
We understand, sometimes in a spur of the moment (*ahem) a random action leads to an unexpected hole in the wall.
