🛠️ Ever dealt with pesky hydraulic oil stains on your block paving?

Here’s a quick guide to tackling it in Reading: • Gather your absorbent materials like cat litter or sawdust.

Other commenters have expert suggestions far beyond my own unhandiness. And it's been a couple of days: maybe you've unscrewed yourself already.

But if not, and you want to try the extraction pliers route, I've had good luck in several cases with this VAMPLIERS model. (Plus the name is pretty cool.)

Ugh!!! 🤦‍♂️

I don't think I should have fertilized my lawns (front & back) last month because it seems that I have to mow them more often after I did. 🤷‍♂️

Gotta pull the mower out again tomorrow to do so. 🙄

I've enjoyed maintaining all my homes. Porch upkeep each summer was a regular chore in my old Victorian. #home #homes #house #houses #homemaintenance #maintenance #chore #chores #upkeep #woodwork #woodworking #porchfloor #floorboards #summer #summertime #summerchores

10 #Fall #HomeMaintenance Tasks You Don’t Want To Forget

Recently I have been getting some water on the kitchen counter by the dishwasher drain air gap, so I replaced the air gap and cleaned the drain hoses yesterday. I probably didn't need to replace the air gap, because it seems that the root cause was the giant fatberg I got out of the drain line going away from the air gap to the drain. FIgured I'd post about this to help anyone else dealing with this kind of minor home maintenance issue.

Galadriel and Thunder enjoy the breeze through a fresh screen. We replaced the screen ourselves (and then cleaned out the track for the sliding window, which was just full of dirt to the point where it wasn't draining properly). There's still lots to do to fix the window well (and still more window screens to replace and windows to clean), but this made it all look so much better.
