DIY Wood Floor Repair Project | Cheap Quick Fix | Wood Filler Putty and ...



The wood just inside this sliding glass window has taken a beating from sunlight and moisture. It really needs to be replaced. So much so that it is starting to show signs of rot and is giving way at some of the edges. Rather than try to refinish it or replace it right now, this wood putty fix was just what was needed for a cheap and quick repair job. If I was the owner I would not have it get as far damaged as it did and would have refinished it. It's possible it's still salvageable but definitely needs to be resealed to prevent further damage. For this band-aid type of quick fix I just used some wood filler putty, both light and dark and tried to come close on a color match but was unsuccessful so I used a furniture touch up marker to bend it in so the repair didn't stick out as much.

Whats Inside? Fujitsu Brand Lifebook Laptop | Complete Teardown Take-Apa...



Join me on this take-apart. At first, I attempted to take this apart in a surgical fashion. I was successful for the most part but ran into a few roadblocks and busted some plastics in the process but not for a lack of trying. If I had to take another one of these apart, I'd watch this video and see that there are some strategically placed hidden Phillips head screws. I learned a lot from this teardown. There were some salvageable parts discovered as I tore this down. I was really surprised how thin a laptop computer "monitor" or screen is. Modern technology is amazing...AND this sucker is considered outdated!! wow. Either way, I'm sure it's like most modern products (from China), not built to last. I have yet to own a computer as good as an Apple. Anyway this was fun to take apart and check out the guts even if I have no idea what the hell they do.

DIY How to Unclog a Bathroom Sink | Super Easy Method



In this video I got through the steps on unclogging a bathroom sink. Many times the problem can be a super easy fix that will require you to get your hands dirty. This will save you a couple hundred bucks though. In the case presented in this video I was able to unclog this bathroom sink just using a pair of cheap hemostats. I'll post the link to some below but I must say, they are well worth what you may pay for them as they have many uses and I've used them to unclog numerous sinks over the years along with many other uses on various jobs.
