hole in the wall

 

So you have a hole in your wall, well don't panic because it is simple and easy to repair.  This is the first thing I learned to fix when I was growing up and it is the most helpful. Their are some important things to note when fixing drywall. 1. their are different thicknesses so if you are not sure what thickness you need take the piece you cut from the wall and match it to the correct size at your hardware store.  2. their are two different styles of drywall one is regular and the other is green board, green board is for the bathroom and has green paper on it so it is easily recognized.

 

The best thing about drywall repair is that no matter the size of the hole the repair is always the same. make a square fill the hole with a patch tape and mudd. If you have a better way to patch a hole in the wall or any questions please comment

wierd water main

Today we look at the water main that supplies your house with water. This is an important thing to know because like the video says if you have a water pipe break in your house you should shut off the main so that the water stops running and the bill does not skyrocket.  Shutting off the water is also a necessary step in most plumbing repairs and if you are doing the repairs yourself then I hope this video helps.  If you have an easier way to locate and shut off the water, or if you have any questions then please comment

Electrical Pannels..... Where are they

Today we are going to cover how to find your electrical panel. This is very important when you are doing any repair or instillation work to insure that you are safe. Now this first picture is what you will be looking for.

 

This panel can be found in the garage or outside the house, if not found in these locations check in a closet or under the stairs. For the second picture it is showing how to turn off a specific breaker. Each breaker is responsible for its own power in the house, usually they are labeled with what area they power EX. Garage, kitchen and so on. Once you flip the breaker you should hear a loud click to tell you that the breaker is shut off, an easy way to make sure that the power is off is to plug in a radio and wait until it stops playing then you will know that there is no power.

 

Their are other styles of breaker boxes including a fuse panel if you have any questions about this please Comment
