1 week ago | techwalls.com | Tuan Do

I took it out and it looked incredibly dirty and gunked up, so I went ahead and replaced it.

When I installed the BrassCraft 1/2 in. Compression Straight Valve under my kitchen sink, I followed the instruction but there was a persistent drip from the nut. While it may seem like a minor leak, it can lead to water damage and mold growth if left unaddressed. I used 2 wrenches: one to tighten the nut and another one to hold the valve and pipe steady. I tightened it until a snug fit, and then a little more for good measure but the dripping continued. This is actually a common problem.

3 weeks ago | techwalls.com | Tuan Do

For homeowners with a large lawn, taking care of the lawn might be very time-consuming, especially during the spring and summer. That’s the reason why robot lawn mowers have become more popular and I even see some landscaping companies started using them to reduce the workload.

Why I Upgraded From The RYOBI 40V HP to Makita 40V max XGT Lawn Mower

When I started owning a home a few years ago, I had to look for an affordable battery-powered lawn mower and the RYOBI 40V HP RY401180 was an appealing choice because of its low price point. I used it for a few years and was quite happy with it; It is absolutely not the best lawn mower but it is good enough for most homeowners.

When installing a Whirlpool range hood, you may see a styrofoam block inside the unit, typically located between the fan and the back panel. The styrofoam block is a cushion during transit, protecting the fan from damage caused by vibrations, impacts, or movement during shipping. This is to ensure the range hood arrives in working condition. However, once the hood is installed and ready for use, this block must be removed, not only for performance but also for safety.

1 month ago | techwalls.com | Tuan Do

Finding the right lighting for my home office hadn’t been easy for me. I initially relied on a desk lamp, but it cluttered my workspace and cast uneven light, moreover, it can’t light up the whole room. So I removed it and depended solely on my ceiling light. While the ceiling light was fine for screen work, it was dim for reading or writing at night. I tried a few other floor lamps, but they were either too weak or looked cheap and out of place.
