What's on the cheat sheet

Each repair includes tools needed, a 3–5 step fix, and the one mistake that causes most DIY failures.

🚽
Running toilet
Flapper or fill valve — the two most common causes and which to replace.
🔧
Leaky faucet cartridge
One cartridge swap stops most kitchen and bathroom drips.
🧱
Drywall hole patch
Self-adhesive mesh + joint compound = invisible in 24 hours.
🗑️
Garbage disposal reset
Usually just the red button. No tools, 2 minutes.
⚡
Tripped breaker
Reset correctly (most people do it wrong) and diagnose the cause.
🚪
Squeaky door
Three-minute fix with WD-40 and a nail set.
🚿
Slow drain
Mechanical first, chemistry second. Saves your pipes.
🪑
Loose toilet seat
Tighten without cracking plastic. Exactly how much is too much.
🛁
Caulk replacement
Remove old, dry, tape, apply. The order matters more than the caulk.
🔔
Smoke detector chirp
Replace battery correctly. And never remove it to stop the chirp.
