Thank you.

    Recaulking kitchen sink

    Recaulking kitchen sink

    Replacing light socket

    I am trying to replace a light socket gx24q-3 with pictures attached. I know where to buy the socket but have a few questions: 1) The silver metal part does not come with the socket. Where do I find that and it also does not seem to come off easy so not sure how to attach/deattach that part...

    Mold in bathroom sink caulking

    Just tried to rub it off and no luck. It really looks like it’s in the caulking. The color looks a little faded. Is it possible there is some mold developing inside this gap? Will this be hard to remove? Thank you
