Washers, Gaskets, Luxury Toilet Paper, A Cold Shower, & Weather/Polution Proofing

She got a question about how to unstick a stuck sink stopper, how to use peel and stick vinyl flooring on subfloor, what to do with car port beams that are rotted and split (and how to remedy the water damage that may be causing the issues!), and advice on how to get into maintenance as a queer person.

Sink Stoppers, Vinyl Floors, Car Ports, & Getting into Maintenance!

Welcome back to the Handy Ma'am Hotline! This week Mercury talks about which project is more pressing: peeling paint or peeling laminate floors. Mercury and Maggie have mixed thoughts on which should come first, what do you think? Mercury also tackles a slow draining bathtub with an unresponsive landlord, a door and frame that needs to be replaced, and how to cultivate a positive "Fix It" mentality when home maintenance can feel so daunting.
