How to fix a leaky supply line on a toilet video. Replacement parts can be found at your local home improvement store. Make sure to turn the water off at the supply valve located at the bottom of the supply line and the wall. If there is no valve, you'll need to turn the water off where it enters your house.

Make sure not to over tighten. If you're getting a drip with the new supply line, try using thread tape at the connections.

Watch this video to learn how to use a framing square to figure out the plumb and set cuts for your rafters. You can purchase metal stops that clip onto your framing square so once you have the angle you can turn your framing square into a jig. This is handy if you have a number of rafter cuts to make. Make sure to use the inside or the outside of the square to mark your measurements.

This video lists some quick, do it yourself fixes to help your heating system run more efficiently and thus saving you money.

This is how to install a window if you have exterior trim that is easy to remove around the window. If you have aluminum or vinyl siding, or a masonry exterior the process is more complex, because you can't simply remove the trim around the outside of the window. The process of plumbing and squaring the window are the same, but usually you can only shim the window from one side.

As you can see hanging a door is rather easy. The key is to make sure the door is plumb. In the video, the rough opening is square and plumb, and only a half inch wider than the door jamb. Of course this is the best case scenario. Often times, in older houses, the rough opening will be out of plumb and square. So, like the video shows, plumb the door by itself and don't fit the door to the rough opening.

If the toilet lever is worn out or not installed properly, it can cause a number of problems. The most common problem is when you have to "jiggle the handle" to keep the toilet from running. The lever may be getting hung up on the water supply tube, thus not allowing the flapper to seat correctly. If there is too much slack in the chain between the lever and the flapper, it will cause a weak flush because the flapper cannot open far enough. This can also be cause by a bad or poorly installed lever, because the lever arm will hit the top of the tank cover.

A worn flapper will cause you toilet to "run". After the toilet fills, it will sound like it is leaking. Replace is flapper is fairly easy. Turn the water supply to the tank off first. Most flappers are universal.

If you toilet has been rocking the cause may just be loose screws. If your toilet is rocking, tighten the two screws that you will see on the base of the toilet. There is one on either side. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!!! You risk cracking the porcelain if you tighten these screws too much. Now see if the toilet is still rocking. If there's no rock, then you've go it fixed.

This video describes cleaning the water supply holes under the toilet with a piece of wire. It's a good idea, first, to clean the underside of the toilet rim with a toilet brush. In areas that have hard water, the build up of mineral deposits will occur in these supply holes. It's good to clean them out on a yearly basis.

Another common problem for a weak flush is not allowing the flapper enough space to open all the way. You just need to shorten the chain from the flapper to the flush handle.
