empallinRepairs Tip #001 - I've Come To Lay Some Pipe
to put it in very simple terms plumbing is easy. if the pipes under you sink beak find a wrench and take it out. take that piece to home depot's plumbing section and show it to them. then take it home and replace it. just be sure that you wrap the plumbers tape that you also bought in the same direction the threads go. if it starts bunching up very quickly you fucked it up. good thing the stuff is as cheap as your mother. this also happens to be one of those cases where duct tape is not a correct answer. also while you are at that place take a look at their selection of spanish tiles.
Repairs Tip #002 - Take It All Off Baby
if you decide to paint, make it prettier by pulling off items that are not permenately attached and place them in a ziplock bag or two to avoid losing parts. if painting a door pull it off the hinges and then pull handles and or knobs off. when doing walls pull the swich plates and the tape up the outlets. and be sure to put everything back when you are done. it makes for a much nicer look when done and only adds a few short minutes to the entire job. we have all lived in rathole apartments so you know how shitty is it to have paint covering all the light switches and outlets. just beacuse they do a half-assed job does not mean you have to.
