Easy Home Repairs Anyone Can Do
Intro
You don’t need a contractor for every tiny issue around the house. Many common problems take under 20 minutes to fix and require minimal tools. Here are simple DIY repairs that every homeowner can handle.
1. Fixing a Loose Door Hinge
Tighten screws, or if the screw hole is stripped, insert a wooden toothpick with wood glue, then reinsert the screw for a tight fit.
2. Unclogging a Slow Drain
Skip harsh chemicals. Remove the stopper, clean the gunk, and run hot water.
