I share Home Improvement, Home Repair, Woodworking and DIY videos showing how I go about making home repairs like drywall, plumbing and electrical, how I complete home renovation projects like bathrooms, kitchens, etc, and how I complete woodworking and other similar projects.

Keep in mind I am not an expert, I'm just sharing what I do in hopes that it might help someone out there. You should always check with local building codes and if you're ever in doubt, consult a professional to make sure the work you do is safe and to code.

Easiest way to do it for sure. What I like to do is to get on the ladder with a small bucket or bag. Scoop then throw it in. Then you can dump it in a larger trash bag if you want to or just keep it in the small store bags and tie it when it gets full then thrown them away. And then get a new store bag. Not super eco friendly but it's fast and you don't have gunk in your yard

If you bend a sewing pin into a tiny hook shape you can fish the broken chain piece through one of the holes on the bottom of the switch. Then tie a peice of string to the bottom of the chain and push the chain and string up through the bottom hole back into the switch. Then use the hook again to hook onto the string and pull it out the main chain hole. Then you can either use the string as your new chain or pull very hard on the string to expose enough of the chain to attach a new chain extension to it. The whole thing took me about 10-15 minutes. Make sure the string you're using is very strong but thin enough to fit through the holes when knotted. Fishing line would work good I used

It wasn't necessarily that you were careless or sloppy. Since this was your first time doing tile you made the same mistaken 99% of first timers do, you put way too much thin set on the back of the tile or on the floor surface, and this is why it squeezed itself up through the grout lines.
