By Johnathan Black


Most homeowner's find themselves in need of repairs or home improvement at one time or another. Here are some handy tips to pass on! Hopefully, this will save you both time and money by doing it right the first time. Read on for some great advice.

Painting is a perennial task. Water-based latex paints make for the easiest clean-up. You only need soap and water. But sometimes oil paint is best for a job. It is longer lasting. When cleaning up from oil paint, use cooking oil on your brushes to dissolve the paint. Then you can use soap and water.

Utilize old soda plastic bottles as storage vessels in the kitchen. These bottles are clear and see-through and can protect virtually all your dry goods, including sugar and flour. Two-liter bottles can be stored in the pantry, freezer and the refrigerator. You can pop off the cap and the contents will pour right out.

When doing home improvement projects around kitchens with gas stoves, gas fire places, or gas water heaters, it is very important to turn off the gas supply line. This will prevent any chances of injury or death caused by gas leaks, which can lead to suffocation or creating deadly gas explosions.

Everyone loves a nice bathroom. You can do this by getting a new sink or toilet and getting nice new cabinets. Updating your bathroom is one of the best ways to improve your home and it will also increase the net price on your house selling it on the market.

When hiring someone to perform home improvement work on your residence, do not pay cash. Always pay by either check or credit card; you will have a documented trail showing that your contractor has been paid. If you pay cash, it could become your word against his word, and you won't have any proof that you followed through with payment.

Understand what products you use to clean clogs from your drains. Some drain cleaners are extremely harsh. Don't use drain cleaners that are crystallized since they stick to pipes, causing big damage. Make sure you use a drain cleaner that is compatible with your septic tank.

Are you ready to start? Remember 'a penny saved is a penny earned.' So, take the time to read ahead of time to avoid any unnecessary mistake. Use the tips provided above to help you save time and money.
