15-Minute Fixes For Around The Home

Home maintenance is an ongoing project. There's always something to do around the house, or something to fix. The problem is, you may not have the time, or the skills, to get it done yourself.

In this 4-minute piece from The Today Show on NBC, you'll see some projects are quite simple.

Dubbed "15-Minute Fixes", see how simple it can be to handle 3 common household chores:

1. De-alcification of a shower head
2. Clearing hair from the inside of a bathroom drain
3. Sealing a granite counter-top

Each clean-up job is cheap, quick, and can be handled sans handyman. As Spring Fever sets in, put these fixes on your To-Do List.

In this 3-minute video, life-help website VideoJug shows how to install invisible shelves in an easy-to-understand, anyone-can-do-it fashion. The acting is a little goofy, but the instruction is right on.

Invisible shelves can be used to store and display books, clocks, knick-knacks and photos. They're called "invisible" because objects appear to float on the walls on which they're shelved.
