Tasks Every Homeowner Should Know How To Do

As a homeowner, you are in charge of everything. You get to pick the color of the walls, the type of furniture you want to sit on and how you want to decorate every room. You are also in charge of repair and upkeep. Whether you do this work yourself or bring in help these tasks have to be done the right way. Just because you haven’t done any handyman work doesn’t mean you won’t be able to. These are some simple tasks every homeowner should know how to do.

Hanging Pictures

When it comes to hanging pictures probably “anchor ” is the keyword. The best anchor is always a stud in the wall. You can locate this stud by and electronic stud detector. These are tools in every contractors toolbox. Just move them along the wall until you find the stud. That’s where you should hang your picture. If you want to put up something where there is no stud, then need to use an appropriate anchor. Your hardware store will know just what you need. Be sure to know how heavy the object is to get the proper anchor and hook.

Cleaning Gutters

Cleaning gutters is not really challenging. All you need is a sturdy latter and a good pair of work gloves. It might help to have someone spotting the latter to keep it from wobbling. Cleaning gutters is a task that should happen at the beginning of fall and at the end of fall. If you see icicles forming, then it’s a good sign that your gutters need cleaning again.

Stopping a Running Toilet

A toilet that is running can be a nuisance not only from the sound but also from the waste of water. To find out what’s wrong you need to flush the toilet and then open the lid to the tank and see what’s happening. Any part that needs replacing can easily be found at your hardware store and many of these parts are universal which makes swapping them out very simple.

As mentioned, there are some tasks that you might want to bring in professionals. That certainly holds true for junk hauling. This is a job that is best turned over to Junk King Chicago.

Awesome Ways To Go Green Around The House

Recycling your paper or plastics is a terrific start to help lower your homes carbon footprint but you don’t have to stop there. There are many ways that you can go green around the house with very little effort. Consider these options:

Plant and Herb Garden

Herbs don’t take up a lot of gardening space. That means you can plant one in a windowsill or small container on apartment balcony or concrete backyard. Once planted, most herbs don’t take a lot of attention to flourish. They just need a little water and sunlight. This will definitely step up your cooking game.

Switch Out Your Lightbulbs

As your lightbulbs burnout, you might want to consider switching them to incandescent lightbulbs. These are the more energy efficient light bulbs that might cost a little extra but will return that money in the long run because of their extended lifespan.

Upgrade Your Appliances

If you’re in the market for a new refrigerator, washer machine, dryer or dishwasher then you should be looking for models that are Energy Star rated. These are the appliances that will be the most energy efficient. You might start noticing a reduction in your power bills almost immediately.

Get Rid Of Disposable Bags

Every grocery store provides you with the option of “paper or plastic.” You can actually step up with a third option: reusable bags. These cloth bags are becoming very popular and are often much more durable than plastic bags. You just have to get into the habit of remembering to bring them into the store with you!

Use a Water Cooler

Water coolers around the office are very common but there’s no reason why you can’t also have a water cooler around your home. This is a great way to cut back on all those plastic water bottles.

Reduce Hot Water for Laundry

Hot water for laundry is more expensive than cold water. The question is does hot water make a difference? In reality, probably not. Try washing your next several week’s loads of laundry and just cold water and see if there is any change. One change you might notice right away will be on your water bill!
