Basic home repairs
- Finding your water shutoff and breaker panelOn day one, find and photograph the main water shutoff, the valves under sinks and toilets, and the breaker panel.
- Fixing a running toiletPut food coloring in the tank. Color in the bowl within 10 to 20 minutes means a leaking flapper, a cheap part to swap.
- Testing your smoke alarmsPress and hold the test button on every alarm once a month, and replace any alarm that's 10 years old.
