A little deferred maintenance was causing the sink in Steph's bathroom not to drain. The resulting standing water was becoming a nuisance! Time for a good cleaning!

Most of our projects are planned out, weeks or months in advance, and we complete them as scheduled. And then there are projects that we do right away because life happens! This is one of those projects!
A few weeks ago, the flushing handle on my toilet broke! As you may know, you can still flush the toilet by taking the lid off and physically pulling the lever up. Well, I did that a few times and then I realized I needed to take a trip to Home Depot to see if I could find a replacement. To my surprise, this is a fast and easy toilet repair, and under $6!

If I asked you what home maintenance problem you have put off, I would venture a guess that probably 100% of you would immediately name one or more items! We all have them (those little pesky issues, we think that are going to be hard) that we need to get done so we can check them off the to-do list!
The replacement of the flag on Steph's mailbox was her small, but difficult seeming problem. You know, "how do you drill into brick?" It was kind of embarrassing, her sad rusted and dull flag on the mailbox. Definitely a home maintenance issue that needed to be fixed. When we got these Bosch drill bits, that can drill into all kind of material including brick, we knew we could finally take care of replacing that flag!

One of the most neglected, but one of the most important home maintenance tasks a homeowner can DIY, is caulking. The use of properly applied caulk keeps the outside elements out and the inside ones, like a/c, inside. Caulking is a very easy and inexpensive DIY that can prevent damage to your home.
A little bit of caulking can be the difference between a very inexpensive repair and a much more costly one. Without caulking, water, bugs, and weather can get into your home and cause damage, unwanted insects, and loss of heating or cooling. text by Vicki Sign up to get Mother Daughter Projects updates in your email! Last summer we tried out Wet & Forget, an outdoor cleaner that works over time. We shared that experience in this post. In this follow-up post and video we are sharing the results of that initial use of Wet & Forget. In our first application we sprayed a patch of siding at Steph's house as well as some pavers and garden blocks.
Take a look and see the results, six-months later! |
