Topics covered on today's episode: Repairing an element on an electric water heater Powering a ceiling fan Dealing with old wiring in a house Wiring a three-way light switch Running continuous power to an outlet that is currently controlled by a switch Repairing a garage door that closes unevenly Painting fiberglass garage doors Installing the brace for a garage door opener Filling gap when garage door is closed Solving automatic garage-door problems Removing paint from brass hardware Using a sprayer to paint a basement room Tips - Removing a broken light bulb shouldn't burn you out: use a raw potato to twist it free.
- Rocker, or seesaw-type, switches are large enough to be switched on with your elbow. They're great for any room you're likely to enter with your hands full.
- A significant amount of heat can escape from a home that has an attached garage but no insulation between the house and the garage. Because of this, an insulated and weatherstripped garage door can save you money, even if the garage is unheated.
