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.

DIY Self Closing Door Hinge Installation and Operation Instructional Tut...

No need to try to shut the door behind you while you have your arms full anymore. Watch this DIY Self Closing Door Hinge Installation and Operation Instructional Tutorial and put one in yourself. It's easy. I'll post a link to some below. Simply remove the middle existing hinge on the door (leaving the upper and lower one in place) and install the self closing door hinge in it's place. It's easiest if you use a cordless drill for the hinge fasteners but not mandatory. You could do this with a regular handheld manual screwdriver. You will need the correct size Allen (hex head) wrench for the internal set screw to set the tension on the hinge. Some of the hinges will come with the correct size Allen wrench to use. You tighten the Allen screw inside the hinge to set the tension of the hinge on desired self-closing strength. You can always adjust it later if you find you don't like your settings.

How to Unclog a Kitchen Sink Drain in Singapore | No P-trap Under Sink

The Singapore under sink plumbing set up is different than what I've seen in the states for the most part. This set up is pretty nice in many ways but also seems to clog up more frequently than most of the standard US p-traps I'm used to dealing with. This is really nice in the sense that when it does clog up you just put your water catch basin under the sink and unscrew the receptacle, dump it out, and screw it back on. Really a great set up if you ask me. The problem I saw was that it leaked no matter how tight I tightened it by hand once it was full of food waste debris.

DIY Lockdown Fix-it Project | How to Fix Schwinn Brand Bike Basket | Bel...

My Schwinn Brand Bicycle front mounted basket has gotten a ton of use and has had the weight limit put to the test many times. It's been a good basket, hauled many things, survived and accident, been left in the rain and left in the glaring sun. It got abused so much so that it rusted a little and broke.
I couldn't see tossing it out over some normal aging, so it seemed like a good idea just to repair it. I used some Belzona, which is a two part epoxy to patch it up. I gave it overnight to dry and then painted it the next day.

DIY Home Brew: Northern Brewer | Dead Ringer India Pale Ale Kit

I ordered this awesome beer kit from amazon. In this DIY Home Brew: Northern Brewer | Dead Ringer India Pale Ale Kit video, I take you step by step through unboxing, brewing and taste testing. This was ready to drink in just over a month. The first thing I did was heat approx 2.5 gallons of filtered water to 155F or approx 68F. Then take the provided grains, pour them into the grain bag, tie off the grain bag and place it into the water once it reaches temp. Maintain that temperature, no higher and no lower (plus or minus a couple degrees), and let it steep for 20 to 30 minutes. Once 20 to 30 minutes has elapsed, pull out the grain bag and let drain over the newly created wort. Don't squeeze it. Then it's time to bring the wort to a slow rolling boil. Total boiling time will be 60 minutes. Once boiling add the liquid malt extract. and stir in well. While it's boiling I added cool filtered water to the fermenter. I then added hops at 10 minutes time intervals and stirred them in. Once 60 minutes in complete I transferred the wort immediately to an ice bath. Once completely cooled I transferred (siphoned) the wort to the fermenter and topped it off with some additional filtered water. I then added the yeast and shook it around a little. Then I installed the air lock and let the brew sit for a couple weeks in a dark area. After a couple weeks I transferred it to a separate fermenter that was actually only used as a bottle filler and then mixed and added some hops and the priming sugar solution to give the brew carbonation. I then bottled it and let it sit for a couple weeks before sampling.

How To Fix a Leaky Toilet

This job started when I got notified about water on the floor. It would get cleaned up with a towel but show back up again. It would get worse after every flush of the toiled. I checked for the quick and easy stuff first. The toilet wasn't continually running, meaning, the float inside was good. I checked really good around the water supply valve, it's associated hose, and it's connection to the toilet. All of this was bone dry. This meant one thing,  Toilet was leaking around the base. This meant I had to perform the following steps to pull the toilet and replace the wax ring:



Step 1: Turn off the water to the toilet

Step 2: Flush remaining water in the bowl

Step 3: Disconnect water supply hose

Step 4: Remove the two caps over securing nuts on toilet base

Step 5: Unthread the two securing nuts

Step 6: Pull (remove) the toilet

Step 7: Remove old wax ring remnant

Step 8: Install new was ring

Step 9: Re-install toilet onto new wax ring



Here's a wax ring kit:

What's Inside? Alpha Brand Fog Machine Model F80Z-Full Disassembly and ...

See what's Inside this Alpha Brand Fog Machine Fogmaker Model F80Z. Full Disassembly and Internal Component Removal process. This particular fog maker was in a non-working status which was what lead to it's disassembly. The hope was to open it up and find something obvious wrong with it that could be repair but it would not be. Upon disassembly it was unclear why it wasn't working so the full disassembly continued. It was quite interesting to see what is actually inside a fog maker. The parts that come out are interesting. I believe the aluminum piece inside is some sort of rapid chiller and vaporizer.

All I needed to take this apart was mainly a cordless drill with a Phillips head bit.

Burger King Siem Reap Cambodia

This BK was cleaner than any BK I've seen in either other SE Asian Countries or the US. The price was reasonable and the food was tasty. We were hungry from traveling and site seeing all day to this really hit the spot for us. Friendly and professional workers there. They even had a parking lot attendant outside who keeps everyone's scooters and vehicles in order as well as their helmets. On one occasion I saw him covering up some scooters with piece of cardboard and turning over helmets so as they wouldn't fill up with rain. I gave him a small tip for his efforts. Great operation here.

How to install window screens on house windows

Step by step tutorial in the basics of installing a window screen. The side with the thin metal springy clips attached to it goes in first. The plastic tabs go inward as it makes it ever so slightly tougher to remove from the outside. The trick to getting all four corners inserted is to get three corners in first leaving one slightly out, then the fourth and final corner will barely slip in. In this example I put the right two corners in first because they had the metal spring tabs on them, followed by the upper left corner, then finally the bottom left corner.

How to Unclog a Bathroom Sink and How to Remove Sink Drain Stopper

n this video I discuss and demonstrate a method of unclogging your backed up bathroom sink. I start with the least invasive and try to unclog the bathroom sink by using a pair of hemostats to fish out any debris around the drain as this is sometimes the only fix you need to do. This was not the case in this instance of this plugged up drain. The sink stopper needed to come out. This means the up and down mechanism must me disassembled. This is done by going underneath the sink and unthreading the fitting that secures the up and down joint. Once unthreaded it can be pulled out. Now there is a hole in the pipe so if you run your water anymore it will run out the hole all over the place. Now you can remove the stopper from up above. In this instance there was some debris down inside the drain that needed to fished out. After removing all the debris that was reachable I reassembled the parts. The sink was still not unclogged though so I had to disassemble again. I decided to give it the water pressure treatment with the garden hose as I've had many successes in the past using this same method. Once I flushed whatever was plugging it down the drain with the hose pressure, I reassembled all the parts. What you want is a whirlpool or eddy look of the water as it goes down the drain. If it bubbles or gurgles a bit then it means something is impeding the water flow and it's still plugged.

How to DIY Fence Post Replacement Repair 4 X 4 X 8 Cedar Treated

Sometimes you may have to replace one of your fence posts that are in line with your fence run. This can pose a little bit of a problem if the post was cemented in the ground. You'll need to remove this on order to start with a fresh hole in the ground to place the new treated 4 X 4 post. I recommend digging the existing cement post cement "block" in the ground as much as possible then pull it out using mechanical means. I decided to use a truck and chain to pull it out. This can be very dangerous so use extreme caution if choosing to do this. If you dig it out enough so that it wiggles and rocks a little so you know it's loose, then it's safe to say it's ready to be yanked out.

Slime Brand Fix a Flat- Wheelbarrow Tire Repair

Slime brand tire sealant did the trick. No more pumping up the wheelbarrow tire every damn time you want to use it. It's available on amazon at the links above or at war mart and automotive stores.
Once you've followed the directions on the slime bottle be sure to rotate the tire around after filling it with air so as not to let the slime settle in one area of the tire. It's really quick and simple to use. Glad I did it. My only regret is waiting so long to use it.
