I do have a DIY tag on my blog that folks could browse.

Aside from that...

I have a leaky tub faucet. I place a bucket under it and collect the water so I can use it to water plants, flush the toilet or add it to the washing machine. (When you pour water into a commode fast enough, it'll flush.) I use the water I get from the dehumidifier this way, too.

My wife likes to light several candles at once. She'll use a lighter on each one. If I light them for her, I'll use a match to light one candle. Then I'll light the others from the flame of the first one. But if the candles are deep within their holders, I'll light a wooden chop stick or twig from a tree branch and then "transfer" the flame from the first candle to the others. (The twig needs to have its bark removed, though.)

Good topic!
