57. Use a Measuring Tape To Find Studs

Have you ever wondered what different markings meant on your measuring tape? Looking closely at the tape, you will notice that several numbers are marked in red and some in black. Depending on the brand of your tape, you might recognize small black diamonds at intervals along with the tape. These markings are there to help you decide on stub measurements along your walls at home. Alternatively, an industrial-strength magnet is also a great way of picking up studs from strange places.

58. Replace Harsh Chemicals To Unclog Your Drain

Having a slow water drain in the basin, bath, or shower, is just frustrating. Apart from waiting for the water to drain, you also have to clear the residue. If you do not have powerful chemicals to unclog your drain,  you could use this great DIY step by step solution. Boil water and pour it down. Next, pour half a cup of baking soda, although other DIYers would strongly suggest mixing a quarter cup of salt – then add half a cup of white vinegar down to drain. Finally, after letting it sit for 10 minutes flush the drain with warm tap water.
