The Best Home Repair Hacks from Your Local Repairman

Easy Off for Ice

We all know that scraping the ice off your car in the morning during a cold winter day is quite a chore. If you don't have a de-icer handy, you can use WD-40 on your windows and windshield before you head to bed that night. Spread it across the windows using a clean, dry cloth and in the morning, you won't have ice to scrape.

A Penny for Your Shims

If your toilet is a little off-balance, there's a quick and inexpensive way to make it level. You can skip buying toilet shims and simply use a penny underneath the foot of the toilet to stop it from wobbling. Once the penny is secure, just use a silicone gun to secure it in place.
