Home repairs

The window screen has a tear, so bugs keep getting in.

I popped out the window screen to clean the glass behind it.

When the power cut out, I flipped the circuit breaker back on.

Running the heater and the microwave at once trips the circuit breaker.

This outlet is dead — nothing charges when I plug it in.

Could you move the couch? The only outlet is behind it.

The smoke detector chirps when its battery is low.

Burnt toast set off the smoke detector again.

A brown stain spread from the ceiling leak above the closet.

I put a bucket under the ceiling leak until the landlord sends someone.

A leaking faucet drips all night and wastes water.

A worn rubber washer is usually what causes a leaking faucet.

The sink drains slowly because of a clogged drain.

Hair is the usual culprit behind a clogged drain in the shower.

No hot water this morning — the water heater may have failed.

We turn the water heater down a few degrees to save on the gas bill.
