The Best Home Repair Hacks from Your Local Repairman

Nailed It!

This hack is a dream for renters. When it comes time to move out, you might be asked to repair holes in walls from where you'd hung photos and frames. Instead of having to repair the holes and repaint the wall, a crayon might be just the answer you need. Choose a crayon color that's closest to the wall colors and rub it into the nail holes. use your fingers to rub it in, too, as the heat from your hands will help the crayon wax mesh into the wall better.

Use that end of the ball to buff out scuffs on the floor. The material that the tennis ball is made from helps pick up any rubber transfer that is on the ground.
