Sleep soundly tonight by changing it! </video> <video> How to stop Kohler toilet from leaking Description: Venmo @AndrewDIY Possibly the easiest repair I've shown on this channel. All you need is a pin to stop your toilet from leaking periodically. The problem is the gasket is permeable and fills with water. The water then swells creating a gap where the water will leak out. These blisters of water in the rubber gasket and easily be popped with a pin and the toilet will no longer leak water. This problem and repair is specific to the Kohler brand toilet. </video> <video> DIY tip: how to NOT start a fire #diy #smokealarm #9V #chirp Description: </video> <video> How to fix a clogged drain without harsh chemicals Description: Drain clearing tool: https://amzn.to/3P6z4g7 Sometimes you don’t want to use drain cleaners or you’ve tried them and it still doesn’t solve the problem. It can possibly be that what’s clogging the drain is a material that won’t dissolve. I’m going to be using this tool and I’ll be putting a link in the description below of where you can get your own. It’s very simple to use, you shove it down the drain and these barb like hooks will grab whatever is in the way. My daughters share a bathroom and the tub has been slow to drain and I’ve used drain cleaner and it’s still not fixing the problem. Now this get’s kinda gross, so I’m giving you a fair warning. You shove in the tool and pull it up, in this case one of my daughter’s bracelets was the culprit, but there you have it, problem solved. </video> <video> Kalado Cordless Vacuum Review Description: Vacuum on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3LhO2wU Official Site: https://kalado.com/products/kalado-cordless-vacuum-cleaner Overall it's a great vacuum cleaner. It's a brushless motor and the suction is really good. It's also a HEPA filtration system. Even the smaller rotating attachment is motorized. Can't complain. A fraction of the price of other vacuums. </video> <video> How to get rid of Fruit Flies: Easy DIY Method Description: A very easy process and you probably have everything you need to start getting rid of these pesky little flies!

Aesthetics and function. The biggest modification worth doing is raising it with the two 2x6 boards giving you an extra foot of height to move around and grow plants inside. If I had more space I would have gone for a much bigger greenhouse, but overall I am happy with this one. I was not paid or asked to do this review.

Description: Yardistry Greenhouse: https://amzn.to/3YrCWMH Palram Greenhouse: https://amzn.to/3E48oZ3 Yardistry Cedar Wood Greenhouse: Double-wall polycarbonate windows are a great choice for those who want a robust and durable solution for their greenhouses. These windows are designed to provide better insulation than single-wall polycarbonate windows, and they deliver superior UV properties and resistance from fading. This means that the plants inside will be protected from harmful UV rays and will be able to grow in a healthier environment. Additionally, the 6’ high sidewalls provide more room height, increasing the amount of light and air volume for plant growth. This extra height also allows customers to double up shelves and maximize the interior space. To maintain temperature and humidity, a heat-sensitive automatic roof vent opener is included in the design. Furthermore, a louvered base wall vent is necessary for optimum air intake and plant health. The cedar door includes a door latch and closer with a quick-hold feature, making it easy to keep the door open when needed. Finally, a 16” wide lower shelf and 8” wide upper shelf surrounding 2 sides of the interior provides ample storage space for tools, equipment, and other greenhouse essentials. </video> <video> How to fix a KitchenAid Blender Description: The KitchenAid brand blender has a design flaw.

It also has a hepa filter to catch dust particles and other matter floating in the air. I’m very pleased with this filter and am looking forward to using it. </video> <video> What kind of Laser should you buy? Fiber? CO2? Diode? Buying guide.
