A few years ago, my cousin’s washing machine stopped working. He could either buy a new one or spend $250 to have someone come and fix it. Instead, he looked up YouTube tutorials, found one that was similar to his problem, and fixed it himself. The problem? A stray sock. Who wants to pay $250 for that?
Some fixes we can’t make on our own, but other fixes are cheap and easy if we just have someone to show us how. I’ve done some of the homework for you and found YouTube tutorials that demonstrate how to fix problems landlords commonly get asked to come repair.
