How did I ever live without You Tube? Sure, I enjoy the funny cat videos, like cat alarm clock, http://youtu.be/4aTagDSnclk and shark cat riding a Roomba, http://youtu.be/Of2HU3LGdbo. But today You Tube saved me a visit from the plumber.
Am I the only one who didn't know that you can see how to do absolutely ANYTHING, on You Tube? Today I watched this, http://youtu.be/I-oVbeFsXhI and I just finished changing the flush valve seal in my toilet!!! It took me 5 minutes. I've changed the flapper in old style toilets, but I have one of those newer models, and when I took the top off it was foreign territory. So I went to You Tube, and lo and behold, there was this video....nice close ups of exactly what to do. Easy peasy....done.
So in addition to learning how to do a column swirl, you can also learn how to sew a French seam, how to cut the bottom (or top) off a wine bottle, how to make artisan bread, learn how to cook Indian dishes, make hypertufa planters, make a slip cover for a chair, do tricky knitting techniques, fold form copper, ........anything! For those of us who love to DIY, it's just heaven. I thought I'd share this in case I'm not the only one who thought You Tube was just cat and soap videos, next time you need to do something, and you're not sure how to do it....take a look at You Tube. You might even fix your toilet!
