Something so simple as replacing the flush valve system on your toilets can be simplified by going to the You Tube presentations. There are many variations of toilet repair kits. It is important that you take a photo using your phone before you go to the hardware store, Home Depot, or Lowes, you can find the replacement items that match your toilet. Replacing washers in tub faucets can be fairly complicated, there are You Tube presentations showing how to do several different faucet systems which can be helpful.

Replacing light switches is not always a slam dunk. Certainly you need to turn the power off before removing and replacing a light switch. But there are two way switches and different wiring configurations depending on what the switch is being used for. Take the face plate off and take a photo of the existing switch. Take your phone with you that has the photo to purchase the replacement.

Automobiles are so complicated today that there are only a few things that an individual that is not a trained mechanic can do to fix defects. But there are small things that could cost big money that you can perform yourself. The plug in outlets in my Hyundai were not working, there was two in the front , one worked and the other did not. There was an outlet behind the seat which did not work and one in the back cargo area which did not work. I looked on You Tube for the causes for outlets not working. You Tube indicated that it is usually the fuse that controls those outlets has blown. It also shows you how to find where the fuses on your car might be after you put the information for your vehicle in the search. I replaced the fuse and all of the outlets were working again.

Our headlights on a 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe had yellowed and were not letting the maximum amount of light out in the headlights. I purchased new lights from a wholesale on line auto parts dealer. The installation information for my vehicle was included on You Tube. Getting the old headlights out was more difficult than installing the new ones. My wife and I together installed the new lights. The dealer wanted $800 for the lights and installation. I purchased the lights for $350 from the wholesale auto dealer.

I have a GEM Car golf cart that is difficult to charge the batteries with the on board system. I have paid $700 to a golf cart repair service to do work on the batteries and replace the batteries under warranty. Still the on board charger is not charging the batteries. There are several kinds of batteries and the charger on my cart will only work with one kind of deep cycle battery. By looking on the internet I found that there is a company that specializes in GEM battery chargers that will work with all the types and brands of batteries including lithium batteries. It costs $639 for the charger. There are six 12 volt batteries in a GEM that cost between $1800 and $3000 depending on the type and brand purchased. That fact indicates it might be cost effective to get the charger for $639 if you can use cheaper batteries that can be charged.

Lets go outside and look at drip systems and sprinkler systems for your yard. It is very costly to hire a landscaper or sprinkling system person. Looking on You Tube it has presentations that show you the timer systems, piping, tubing, drips, heads, and tips to put together a system. If you feel you can do this work you can save a lot of money.

Good luck in finding YOU TUBE presentations to assist you in doing work on your property and belongings rather than having to hire it done.
