DIY-How to Remove Countertop Ceramic Tile Backsplash

The trick here is not to dig into the drywall. You'll need a pry bar and a thinner one is best. You run that thinner pry bar parallel with the drywall popping the tiles off. Try your best not to actually pry the tiles off as this.

How to Remove a Nissan Frontier Tailgate

It is nice to know how to remove and reinstall tailgates on trucks. I figured I'd do a demo on this one since it was available. They are fairly easy to remove which is good and bad. The good part is that you can get them off fairly quickly but the bad part is dirt bag thieves and tweezers like to steal them. There are some measures you can take to make it a little harder to steal your tailgate.

DIY Fix Bathroom Faucet High Pitch Squealing While Turning Water On- QUI...

This can go on and on for months and even years if you don't do something about it. I always like to stop from the top down approach. Meaning, easiest to hardest or less invasive to most invasive in hopes to find the problem right off the bat or not as far down the line. This was a very easy fix fortunately. It appears the screen in this faucet was doing exactly what it was designed to do. There were some small plastic chips sitting just inside it which was causing it to squeal or whistle. It was readily apparent once I removed the spout's screen. If you are going to use vice grips, you may want to put some kind of barrier in between the teeth of the vice grips and the spout filter receptacle so as not to leave teeth marks in it when done. Sometime a rag or towel will do the trick.
It's very fulfilling and satisfying when you can make someone's life a little bit easier by helping them or fixing something that isn't quite working the way it should. If you have an old faucet like the one in the video you may want to consider an upgrade like one of these below.

DIY Post-Vandalism Mailbox Rollcage Welding Project

Tired of replacing your mailbox due to punk ass vandals? After fabricating up this mailbox roll cage you won't have to do it anymore. I was able to use mainly scrap metal I had laying around for this project but it's very cheap if you purchase it at the metal store. Of course before fabricating and installing the roll cage you must install your new mailbox. See the video below on doing that.

The welder I used was a Lincoln PRO MIG 140 wire feed welding machine with innershield wire. I used some scrap metal from an old planter hold I had laying around. I used the new mail box to construct the roll cage around it it to form it as I went.

"SERVICE TIRE MONITOR SYSTEM" Dash Warning Light-What to do about it

This warning is telling you that at least one of your Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensors are faulty. These sensors are located inside the tires and cannot be replaced without removing the tire from the rim. If one of them are bad, then the others are sure to follow. The batteries go bad on them and need to be replaced. Best time to do it is when you get new tires.


One thing you can do if you don't want to pay extra mark up fees is to find out what kind of TPMS sensors your vehicle takes and then order them. You should then communicate with the tire dealer/installer that you wish to install those specific sensors in your vehicle at the time of tire change out.




It's also best that you don't try to save money in just changing one of them out. You may as well get them all changed since it's likely the others will go bad before too long as they are probably all around the same age. During the last decade or so it has become law that all vehicles be equipped with TPMS sensors. These sensors are battery run so they go bad often times around the 7 to 10 year mark.
