Home Repairs Galore! (Posted by Steve Acree)

I have undertaken many home and auto repairs thanks to video tutorials! This is one that I did a year or two ago - thanks to step-by-step instructions, I was able to resuscitate our washing machine. This video suggests a 2 hour repair - I find that they tend to take longer than anticipated, and this one was no exception. In a tight space, I was in it for quite a bit longer. But success!

Description: changing the wax ring on a toilet.

I was recently mid-job on replacing one of the toilets in my home and needed to double check exactly how to know the wax ring was lined up. I searched for videos; this came up. It was useful (enough) to give me an idea. I didn't do what he did, but it helped me through. The DIY affordance of YouTube makes us unafraid to learn and tackle new projects ourselves, on demand when needed/desired. Total game changer!

My partner and I have recently moved into our place and it's the first time I've ever had... a garden! It's been a wonderful learning experience full of DIY learning and projects. My go to place for all DIY learning is YouTube where you can find a vast amount of resources. The only drawback that I find is sometimes there is too much information and it can be overwhelming to know which videos are correct or who has the best information for what you need. That's the beauty of DIY learning though, is taking little bits and pieces of information from wherever and then experimenting and figuring it out yourself!

In the next couple of months, I have a few road trips planning around BC through the interior, Vancouver Island, etc. and decided that now would be an ideal time to install the front and rear dashcam I bought last month. I think one of my hesitations with installing it was trying to figure out how to hide the cables and I was able to find this video of a similar dashcam and car.

The video has over 670,000 views in the two years since it was posted. One of the aspects I enjoyed about the video was the step-by-step unpackaging of the box. It was easy and clear to understand what the creator was doing with simple instructions and zoomed in portions of the video about how to hide the cable from the front windshield and guide the wire all the way to the 12V outlet. After watching this straightforward DIY video, one of the tasks that I felt like I was putting off wasn't nearly as difficult as I originally thought.

How to install a Dashcam by hiding the cables

One of my upcoming projects at home is to relay and fix some of the pavers in the driveway because the grass is starting to come up through them. Although I have some idea how to do this, I researched online to find recommended methods. I came across a video tutorial that showcases the steps in a clear and concise method.

The video starts with showcasing using a pressure washer to clean out the older grout. I was considering using a screwdriver for this step, but this seems quicker. I feel like I have already learned something new from this video. The following section then talks about fixing pavers that have sunk down into the ground. Afterwards, they added paver base (or masonry sand as a substitute) to make up the difference and put the pavers back in the topped-up hole. After this, they used the leaf blower to clean the area. Then, they placed polymeric sand down and used a broom to move it into the holes. Finally, with the leftover material, they used the leaf blower again to clean the area. The use of a leaf blower is another step that I didn't think about when relaying them down, and it makes for an easier job of cleaning up.

One of the things that I liked in this video is that it didn't seem overly technical. The points were presented in a way that didn't seem intimidating. One of the interesting components of open DIY learning, it is ease of finding resources, helping users complete their objective.

Shannon: DIY - Filing Personal Tax Returns Yourself! 

# data[].attributes.body
Filing my own (and my family's) personal tax returns has been a 'DIY project' of interest to me that may be relevant to many of you as well. This DIY learning provides the opportunity for you to become more financially literate, better understand what information is / is not included in your personal tax return, and eventually, allow you to file your own return. If you have a 'simple return' (e.g. T4 from employment income, T5 from investment income, RRSP contributions ...all of which produce "slips"), it can be really simple to file your own personal tax return.

Tool:

WealthSimple Tax

I have used it for the past 2-3 years. People are able to prepare and electronically file their return for free, with the potential to add a donation or pay for additional review/audit services if desired.

Resources:

Government of Canada website

Now that summer is coming up, I've been wanting to take pictures with families and friends. I was recently introduced to the self-timer function by one of my students and I was mesmerized. All those times I've been taking horrible, squished, weirdly angled group photos - I could've propped my phone for a nice self-timed photo.

The post was lengthy but helpful nonetheless. I would've appreciated an icon or an image attached to the site to help identify the self-timer symbol. Thank you for incentivizing this discussion. It was fun!

Thank you for incentivizing me to get started on this summer project! I am building a backyard rock waterfall fountain, though perhaps I will add jade and quartz crystals with fuschia lotus lily pads instead of granite rocks with peripheral flora....

The video by Aquascape Ponds is 7 minutes long, 8 years old, liked by two and a half thousand people, and viewed by 553,000. They are, actually, corporate producers but the supplies and resources could easily be sourced oneself rather than purchased for $2000 Canadian, as advertised on their website. The video has semi professional elements, seamless media integration and provides many of the same colloquial expectations that othersocial media creators and influences utter, such as requesting liking and subscribing to their channel (both of which I have done.) Comments are disabled, which is not helpful, but watching someone else perform the task alongside guided instruction is invaluable. I wonder if I will actually be able to do this myself? Will keep you posted!
