We've gathered a list of straightforward yet surprising advice for anyone planning to begin repairs this winter. These will simplify and lower the expense of the renovation process. For instance, ice may be used to erase residues from carpets, instant coffee can be used to restore furniture, and a microphone can be used to drill a hole in a wall.

1. In a secure location, a microphone can assist with hole drilling.



Drilling holes close to sockets or switches carries the danger of breaking a wire. Fortunately, there's a novel method for locating concealed cables within walls. A tape recorder can be used by connecting a microphone to it and setting it to record at maximum volume. Position the microphone close to the planned wall opening. The dynamics of the tape recorder will cause a faint hum in the areas where concealed wires are present. Drilling can be safely conducted in areas devoid of humming noise.
