A series of illustrations commissioned by Men’s Health for a feature on home DIY tricks (the irony that I’m somewhat limited in the home handyman department was not lost.) Thankfully with some great copy by Denny Watkins I was able to complete the three illos below.
1) Remove the base of a smashed lightbulb: Make sure the lamp is unplugged or, if it’s hardwired, flip off the circuit breaker. Clean off the bigger shards from the base, then press the cut side of a half potato down on it. Turn counter-clockwise.
2) Stop a toilet from overflowing: Take the lid off the water tank and lift the rubber ball to shut the inflow valve to the bowl.
3) De-stink your fridge: Place an open bowl of ground coffee on the bottom shelf. Within a week, the coffee will absorb all of the foul odours – and leave behind the far-more pleasing aroma of extra-strong espresso.
