Handyman in Charleston and Mount Pleasant,SC gives several advices about home repair. Loose or Baggy Clothing – Avoid wearing anything that may get caught up in any power tools you may be using. These can include clothing, jewellery or even shoes with laces not tightened properly.
One of the most annoying problems any homeowner could have is wobbly furniture. So to begin this list of common home repairs, here’s a simple remedy for unsteady chairs and tables. Simply take them apart (and label them, so you could put them back easily), and use a chisel to remove any excess glue or wood on the joining parts. Once the “joints” of the chairs and tables are clean, re-apply some glue, and put the parts together. Hold them all with a rope until the glue dries. Easy!
Warm weather and blue skies means a lot of traipsing in and out of your house. And if you have a screen door to allow fresh breezes to flow through, that also means a lot of banging and noise as it slams closed. Just dab a couple of short beads of silicone caulk along the inner door jamb where it hits and let dry with the door open. The silicone pads will help quiet the racket. Living around a bunch of wood furniture or in a house with a hardwood floor means that dents and deep marks will eventually happen. But there’s a novel way to remove those dents without resorting to power tools: a household iron. Put a little water in the dent, then lay a moist towel over the it. Heat up your iron and then move it over the towel in circles, pressing down on it for a few minutes. The heat and water should rehydrate the wood, allowing it to puff back up.
Pay attention to your handles and knobs, Focusing on the interior of your home (once the icicles have stopped destroying your gutters), winter’s now the time to make repairs to your interior. If any loose handles or knobs on cabinets have been bothering you, it’s time to sort that out.Often it’s just a case of using the right screwdriver on the opposite side of the knob to tighten it up. Firmly grip the handle to avoid it spinning, and tighten the screws up. Handles and knobs are the kinds of things that annoy you every time you use them, but you never decide to fix it. Now’s the time!
