Have a question about this project?
explain the outlet project please
These gaskets are amazing. We built a house to be energy efficient, so we filled all the air leak spots we could, wrapped the entire inside in plastic, used lots of foam for the big leaky spots, etc, etc, AND the first time we painted, we noticed one of the outlets (over a crawl space) was leaking a lot of cool air. So, I learned that EVERY outlet should have a gasket cover, no matter if interior or exterior wall.
How to fix the chain that's stuck on a ceiling fan
Come on, Ash, what other chains are there on a fan? They break sometimes and get stuck sometimes. You can replace them if you have the skills, but a lot of times you wind up getting a new fan.
Not sure I understand recycling dryer lint. Place it in a bag - with holes? Can you please explain that better?
A better recycle for dryer lint is to fill an empty toilet paper tube with it and use as kindling in your fire pit.
