Everyday Home Repairs

Everyday Home Repairs covers practical fixes in short, focused videos. Here you will find a door that won’t latch, replacing a two-way light switch, a garbage disposal that hums and a furnace whose burners light then shut off, which comes down to cleaning the flame sensor.

It also covers shed interiors: cutting OSB walls around boxes and doors, and insulating a ceiling with rigid foam in vented rafter bays. For the electrical jobs, turn off the breaker and test with a non-contact voltage tester first. Working inside a gas furnace is closer to a technician’s job than a homeowner’s, so read when to call a licensed pro before you open the panel. Our garbage disposal guide covers the humming problem, and shed jobs like these suit a patient beginner with a tape measure and a steady saw.
