How to Fix Anything in Your Home

To all the brave souls who’ve stared down a leaky faucet, a wobbly shelf, or a mysterious electrical hum and decided, “I can handle this!” To those who’ve wrestled with a stubborn screw, cursed a stripped bolt, and still emerged victorious (or at least, less defeated than before). To the eternally optimistic DIYers who believe that YouTube tutorials are the modern-day equivalent of magic spells, and that duct tape is the universal solvent of all home repair woes. This one’s for you, fellow warriors of the weekend warrior brigade. May your projects always be successful (or at least, amusingly disastrous), your tools always sharp, and your coffee always strong. And may the force (of gravity, mostly) be ever in your favor. To those who dare to try, and those who keep trying even when they fail spectacularly — you are the inspiration for this guide. May it serve as a map to lead you to DIY success, and a humorous companion along the way.
