Windows · Beginner
Install a Curtain Rod
Measure, level and mount brackets.
Materials
- Curtain rod kit with brackets
- Correct screws and anchors for wall/load
Tools
- Tape measure and level
- Pencil and stud finder
- Drill/driver and suitable ladder
How to
- Measure the opening and choose overhang per rod instructions.
- Mark bracket points level and check trim/obstructions.
- Locate studs where possible; otherwise use anchors rated for the wall and load.
- Drill correct pilot holes and fasten brackets.
- Install rod and curtains; confirm level and support.
Safety: Consider concealed wiring/plumbing before drilling. Long spans or heavy curtains may need a center bracket. Use a stable ladder, never furniture.
Doors · Beginner
Replace an Interior Door Knob
Match latch backset and keep the door operable.
Materials
- Compatible knob or lever set
- Manufacturer-supplied latch and screws
Tools
- Screwdriver set
- Tape measure
How to
- Check door thickness, latch backset, function and handing.
- Keep the door open while removing old knob and latch.
- Install latch with bevel facing the closing direction per kit instructions.
- Fit knob halves and tighten evenly.
- Test latch with door open before gently testing closed.
Safety: Special, fire-rated or access-control doors may need listed compatible hardware. Never force a binding latch.
Cabinets · Beginner
Install Cabinet Pulls
Use a repeatable layout so handles line up.
Materials
- Cabinet pulls
- Correct screw length
- Optional filler/finish for old holes
Tools
- Tape measure and level
- Pencil and hardware template
- Drill/driver and painter’s tape
How to
- Choose a consistent reference edge and placement.
- Confirm actual center-to-center spacing of the pull.
- Use tape and a template to mark drilling points.
- Check the back side and drill perpendicular with a suitable bit.
- Install compatible screws without crushing the finish.
Safety: Screws that are too long can damage drawer interiors. Protect finished surfaces from drill breakout and metal chips.
Bathroom · Beginner
Install a Toilet Paper Holder
Choose a usable location and secure the plate.
Materials
- Toilet paper holder kit
- Fasteners suitable for wall substrate
- Rated anchors if appropriate
Tools
- Tape measure and level
- Pencil and stud finder

How to
- Choose a comfortable reach location with clearance.
- Use supplied template or measure the plate; mark level.
- Check studs and concealed services; choose suitable fasteners.
- Drill pilot holes and install compatible anchors if needed.
- Attach holder and confirm easy roll replacement.
Safety: A paper holder is not a grab bar and must never support body weight. Use the correct method for tile; stop if tile cracks or the substrate is soft.
Landscaping · Beginner
Build a Small Raised Garden Bed
Square the frame, check drainage, then fill.
Materials
- Garden-bed lumber intended for soil contact
- Exterior-rated compatible screws
