Welcome back to the Handy Ma'am Hotline! This week Mercury helps a listener with one of her most famous fixes: the toothpick trick for loose hinges. She also discusses why someone may have put putty all around a window frame, how to keep a toilet seat tight when you're a little heaftier, what to do about a tub that likely needs to be replaced, and we get an update from a previous caller who shares how Mercury's advice helped them!
