The Best Home Repair Hacks from Your Local Repairman

A Better Flush

Water pressure might be to blame if your toilet seems to always need a second flush. If the tank is refilling slowly you also could have a pressure issue. To remedy this, you just need to locate the water valve behind the toilet. Turn the valve counterclockwise until your hand stops, and your toilet should be back in business.

Loosen Up Your Drawers

After a lot of use, sometimes sets of drawers don't function quite like they used to. The wood warps or overuse makes the drawers difficult to slide. One hack for this is to use a little wax, either a candle, some soap, or even a clear crayon, and rub them along the runners of the drawers for a little lubrication. Your drawers will no longer stick and your furniture will feel like new again.
