A channel on HOW TO SAVE MONEY in big and small ways. Hi, I'm Kelly, and I created this channel as a hobby to share tips on what to buy, where to eat, and how to create and fix things around the home DIY, so that folks can get ideas on HOW TO SAVE MONEY in big and small ways. ---
I also provide educational content on health based on medical issues that I’ve had to deal with personally. ---
Occasionally, I make silly videos just for fun on random subject matter that I think some folks might be able to relate to or find entertaining. ---
In order to keep my "work" and "play" activities completely separate, I don’t make videos related to my job or what I do for a living. Maybe I'll share information about my job AFTER I retire in 2025! My GOAL is to retire early (at age 56) and enjoy FULL-TIME of fun afterwards!! ---

Back in the 70s my Dad would treat any termite wood damage with Chlorodane. The stuff was outlawed. But it sure worked! That area should have been addressed for termite infestation. They are there , and will still keep eating. Just a suggestion….
When I sold compressors at Sears before they crashed,many returns were simply based on stupidity.The oil free ones,besides the bonus feature of making one deaf also included instructions.But,Ol'Uncle Bob sez bring it back if it don't work.Well ya,drain the tank AFTER EACH USE for a start.No,not lifetime,either.The best one was people bringing back air cans because "It don't hold 120psi"Well,if you fill it at the AM/PM you might get 60 psi on a warm day.Me,I made mine out of an old R-12 can only had to buy the Schrader valve and the safety Valve........RTFM,man.....

Amazing Woman I marry You
Thank you. This was a fabulous video----everything displayed and described was exactly what I was experiencing. Your info, product info, etc....was fabulous!!! THANK YOU for saving me the cost of a plumber. Amazingly helpful Thank you.
Thanks for posting this. It answered my one question right in the beginning. I've not received my notice so I have no bar code. The fact you didn't see it and were able to enter your information manually gave me the answer. I didn't know that. I don't like going through the emissions station. Thanks again.
Well explained video.very nice
Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!
Thank you so much! This is so helpful!
In general a well done installation unfortunately you missed the most important safety requirement by not installing the Romex pinch connector needed to secure the wire and protect it from the sharp metal edges of the hole you passed the wire through. The connector is cheap and needs to be used.
Really good video. I stopped buying Chips Ahoy. I just bake myself or if in a hurry buy Betty Crocker Chocolate Chip mix. These are fast, still taste good and in my pantry most of the time, just in case one of use feels like having them. Thanks for your video
Thank you so much for the great video. I have 2 ugly builder grade fixtures in the front bathroom of the house I bought 3 years ago. I immediately bought new fixtures, but there are no boxes in the wall holding up the fixtures that are there, and no studs to attach a box to. I have not know what to do and didn't know this type of box existed. I just subscribed, as I watched your first video on taking the fluorescent fixture down (my son has this in his kitchen). I then liked that video and looked to find this video to finish the project. I am so glad I did. Now I am able to get rid of those ugly fixtures in my bathroom as well as help him get rid of his ugly kitchen light. Thank you so much.🙂
Very good video. Thanks
Wow! Thank you so much - so quick and easy. Will try it now.
Hello KYK Creations, did replacing the temperature sensor fix the issue permanently after 3 years?
Yes, it was fine with no water problem for over 3 years, but a few weeks ago the fridge started making a weird, loud whirring sound. It sounded like it was coming from the back. The refrigerator and freezer still worked fine but I had new tenants moving in to that house, so I just put in a new fridge for them.
Imagine my desperation. My cat is doing this at my sister house. My brother in law keep glaring me every time that he pass by the door. With this video I can repair it at least 😢
facinating result
Thank you for the great video. I had to replace the switch on my A/C and your video made the job super simple.
Thank you for your comment! It's so nice to hear that the video helped somebody.
Beautiful pooch. My dog does the same mannerisms to tell me what cookie he is waiting for. Dogs are so smart.
I SO appreciate you doing this video! I’m trying to revive my granny’s cute little old metal vanity, but I need the gold to be just right. Thanks for saving me some time & money!
Thank you for a great video!

Um my shower head is not old and not new its like a 2019 shower it adjustable its very soft i have the water shooting on me but i wish this did the same its nice though.
Nice work; i'd probably add flashing tape or door flashing pan; will keep that piece of subfloor wood from rotting out over the years.
Thank you for the suggestion!
Excellent video! Both content and camera work are very helpful
What is the name and model of this light? I would like to get one for myself. Thank you!
It's Hampton Bay Oron. You can order it from Home Depot for $129 or get "like new" used one from Amazon for $90. I put the Amazon link for it in the description box.
@@KYKCreations Thank you very much!
Thank you for this video. Our large lower drawer would not open properly and when looking behind and under we found a puddle and layer of ice. With your video and one other we first pulled out the drain tube in the bottom back and found it to be plugged. Once it was removed there was a drip of water seen coming out of the drain so perhaps that is solved. We will keep an eye on it and if it should build up water again we will pull the inside back and replace the parts that you do in this video. $8 for the two parts on Amazon so we ordered to have on hand. I find it very interesting how this all works. Also while in the drain area we cleaned the fins and cleaned as much of the gunk out of the drain basin as possible. One way is to take a paper towel, fold in half and slide it in to the water and "wick" it out. Another way is to use a wet dry vac and one of those crazy multi tube things. On Amazon the are called "Attachment Tiny Tubes" you can divide the tubes and stick a few into the basin. Cover the remaining tubes with your hand to improve the suction. We we able to remove most of the water and yuckie stuff. Our Samsung is 12 years old.

Some look lumpy after wash but the dryer fluffs them esp adding dryer balls
Background music is way too loud and distracting
best part is, no music, just the facts
you are one smart woman
The "wire cutter" crimper tool is mean to cut aluminum or brass screws (used for electrical boxes) - not the stainless or zinc machine screw you are cutting in the vid.
Honestly didn't expect a woman, but damn this is an informative video
Tip: put a towel over the tub drain before unscrewing the set screw!

Heyy i hope u still there,can i ask u something,its really hemoroid can cure ,using cream,i have hemoroid because lift weight at gym,now im bleeding without pain,but comes out balls in my area anuuss
Whether your hemorrhoid can heal on its own depends on how large the prolapse is (the part that is coming out) and whether it stays inside when you insert it back in. If the prolapse is small and will stay in when you put it back inside your anus, it might be cured with some lifestyle changes or maybe with a banding procedure. If it is very large, you will need to get surgery.
Nice medallion, one of prettier ones i've seen

Someone please help me how do u remove a bulb from that type of socket do they open up
You just turn it counterclockwise to remove it. If you can't, it's most likely stuck.
