To do very basic home repair and DIY. I keep wondering how people get through life without being able to drill a hole, fix a clogged drain or even change a light bulp. Do they get some sort of service technican for all these things?
I’m one of them! Neither parent could do DIY and I’ve got poor manual skills. Recently I had to ask [email protected] how to put picture hooks up. They kindly and patiently explained it to me 😊
While I understand that there could be a lucrative market here… It warms my heart to know that there are people who would just volunteer their time to help others… Because that’s kind of what a dad would do. Just straight up give advice and experience with the thought that they would be helping the future.
I use a bizarre system that eliminates hooks entirely, relying on velcro instead. AND peels off the wall without a scratch when you don’t want it any longer.
It’s something I saw on Taobao’s “try this for practically free” section (where new products get introduced) and tested. They’re advertised as being able to hold up to 0.9kg for 2 small ones to 7.2kg for 4 large ones. Let me see if I can find a picture.
That’s what they look like in package. The sticky backing is a weird form of “gel tape” that sticks to almost anything, but can be removed by just stretching (at the point where you see the arrows) without leaving a mark. Here’s how they’re used:

I know! It’s really kind of them and they really put effort into their answers

That’s a clever idea! What do you use?
