This week on the Handy Ma'am Hotline Mercury tackles questions about repairing a wall after the curtain rod was used as a swing by a kiddo, how to get over the fear of ladders so you can do DIY projects up high, what to do when your plastic drain cleaner breaks in the pipe, how to fill nail holes in hardwood after removing carpet, and how to remove scuff marks off walls without repainting!
