Feb 6	comment	How can I hang a closet rod where there are no studs? Also, copper is an especially flexible material and is generally not suited for clothing rods. It tends to bend unless there are numerous support brackets.
Feb 6	comment	How do I cover nail holes in composite trim in a wet location? If it's MDF, they are going to paint it. If they are going to paint it, you can't use wax. If you don't like painters caulk, I would use latex wood filler, but that shrinks and generally takes two coats.

Feb 5	comment	Can I replace an old closet light with multiple electrical outlets? Many of your suggestions make sense, but this questioner is so inexperienced that any handling of wiring or fixtures is very risky. Even a look inside the panel box requires removal of the cover. Sharon needs a pro. A DIY project needs either a low risk task or at least some familiarity with the field. As is said in the medical field, when picking up a scalpel, you need to at least watch one before you do one.

Feb 4	comment	Can I replace an old closet light with multiple electrical outlets? This refers to a circuit breaker or fuse. They are located in the electrical panel near where the wiring comes into the house, often in the basement (or sometimes the kitchen or hallway). The size refers to amperage on a particular line and is expressed in numbers, such as 15A or 20A. The line in question is the one that serves the old light fixture. Finally, your level of familiarity suggests that you probably should have a professional or at least a very knowledgeable friend manage the project.
Feb 4	comment	How can I replace a ceiling fan with a regular light fixture? Was the fan controlled by the switch in question or was there a remote (or both)?
Feb 4	comment	How can I install this programmable switch where a neutral is not present? As the instructions cited in the question noted, the neutral wire(s) should always be white. The neutral wires that Steven suggested might be behind the switch would be white.

Jan 29	comment	How can I straighten bent refrigerator radiator fins? +1 for the fin comb. Air circulation is critical to refrigerator compressor functioning. While the damage to these fins do not seem severe, blocked air flow can kill the appliance.
Jan 29	comment	How do I stop a leak in a refrigerator water line connection? @MichaelKaras Agreed, if the line is a long one. If it is short, I prefer fewer fittings and would probably swap it out.
