This last week, I repaired a washing machine and two showers, replaced some flush mount lights in the basement, and ordered new parts for the sinks that are upstairs.
The washer was not spin drying clothes. I looked online and determined that it probably needed a new belt (or maybe a tension pulley). To get to it, all I needed to do was remove two screws from the bottom front panel and insert a putty knife near the top front to release some clips. With the front removed, I could remove the old belt, see its part number, order a new one, put the new one on, put the machine back together, and everything now works.
My showers had drips or handles didn't turn properly. I went to the hardware store and found that both my showers were so common that they had all the parts in stock.
The lights in the basement were very unreliable. It turned out one had a hole going through a wire and the light bulb sockets were filled with carbon. Since the light fixtures were ugly, I decided to replace the fixtures. Let there be light!
