Not all watches will have an obvious place to put a tool to open the back to replace the battery. A quick internet search shows there are official tools and tool kits for battery watch replacement you can get. I was just curious so I just used a small nail and a hammer to get…
I spent the afternoon painting this tiny lamp’s stained crwam-colores canvas shade to relax. Since the base is a stem I wanted the top to be a color so it would look more like a flower. While we now have internet, we still don’t have air conditioning and the fans help but they don’t take…
I cover all the R’s here and Repair is one of them. This particular featured image is where a soap dispenser used to be. It was caked in soap underneath which was an exercise in acrobatics to fit under the sink and clean that! That was not a good spot for a garbage disposal! There…
I’m helping someone downsize and this was a heavy unused Shark brand vacuum they had in their utility closet. I posted in on my local Buy Nothing Facebook group and a lady near me said her Shark, the exact same one, had just died and she’d love to have this one! I made sure it…
Recycle Window Screens if you can’t repair them. There are repair kits for screens at hardware stores you can get if you have a small spot or a few. My screen was busted so I recycled the thing. If it’s difficult for you to repair or have time to repair, ask around if a neighbor…

Save time and money with drywall anchors! These are so helpful to hang things! The hardware that came with the toilet paper roll holder was worthless. The anchor that came with it looks sturdy in the pictures, but it’s not flush and is in fact completely loose and won’t hold the bar in place. The…
I was able to stretch my sweater! My thrifted new-to-me 100% cotton sweater ended up in the dryer and shrank down to kid size. I washed it again and was able to stretch it out! Success! If I couldn’t fix it, I was going to reduce the arm length down for my son since it…
Pair your donations. Make sure to tie shoelaces together on shoes, or rubber band shoes together. For socks, roll them in each other. Bag and label other sets of items. If I took a tag off and I know what the size was, I like to permanent marker the size in the neck or waistband…
