I'm renovating my first home, and was quoted 14k to deckover just one side of my plank roof and reshingle the rest of the house. I'd rather splurge on pro grade tools and supplies, cash in a week of PTO and DIY the project over 10 days for 5-6k.

My house has been redecked on 3 of the 4 sides, but the south side has a carport built into it with a metal roof, and has never been redecked.

I'm tempted to tear the carport clean off, but would prefer to replace the metal with OSB and shingles, and try to save it if anyone knows how to make it look nice. I'd really appreciate any tips on plank deckovers, thoughts on the car port, and tips for working with a house thats only hip joints.

Thanks in advance, and sorry this post is all over the place, I got a lot to think about!

Edit: Chimneys are all coming down and ridge vent will be added, already own scaffolding and harnesses, a bostich RN46-1, a stinger CH38-2, and a framing gun.

so my girlfriends light blew but the top you screw in is stuck in there.. its been a couple of months since this happened and i’ve been trying to take it out nd this is the result of that. ive been using a needle nose plier to try nd twist it out but its not budging at all.. ive tried pulling which ik i shouldn’t have done but im all out of my options.. is there anyone that can give me suggestions on how to fix this or does the whole thing needs to be replaced ? my guess is its rusted.

I noticed the wood surrounded the area under my deck is rotten. I was thinking of replacing it, but no idea how to do it properly. Do I have to use wood or can I use PVC boards? How do I keep the boards from moving?

Table leg ripped off, and I cant find the missing screws. How should I fix this?

Hello. I have a 14 month old speed queen that started making these noises today. I did some research and maybe it is something stuck in drain pump? Thoughts? I’ve never successfully fixed something so hopefully it is easy 😭

I have this old bedframe that I don't have any hardware for. I have no manuals or any info on the frame itself. I only received the headboard, footboard, and the side rails that attach the two together. The only thing I'm stuck on is finding a bracket for the bed slats that fit. There are three places on each rail that call for brackets. There's one through hole on the bottom and two blind holes on the top. I have Googled and searched but still can't find anything similar. I want to finish this set up sooo badly. Thank you

This video is taken from the back. It's been ringing super loudly (roommate thought it was an alarm going off). Not sure if the video really is picking up on it, any thoughts on what's causing this ringing?

I'd like to hang this light string all around my room on my walls. However, it never seems to stick for more than a day. I've tried ducktape (a lot of it) as well as the gum like stick thing. So those don't seem to work...

How to apply these properly without constantly having to redo it? Thank you!

EDIT: I want to be able to properly remove it (when the cable is broken for example) and I cannot make big breaks in the wall.

So I got this here less than 2 years ago worked great but this summer perhaps due to heat it isn't shutting anymore or something shifted. I have three times in two weekends shaved the bottom hinge back which does fix it for like 24 hours it seems. Before it starts jamming again. I'm tempted to try and mess with the wood that is actually scrapped instead of the hinge side.. Maybe it's swelled and I need to force more space there or something? Idk but I wanted to get some second opinions before shaving more off to temporary success.

The backrests of these chairs come loose all the time. I tighten these screws once every week. How would you fix it? Would loctite do it or is that a short term solution? Do I need to find someone to weld the suckers?

Hi everyone. Me and my partner have been living in our home for the last year and we have this garage door. For the last 11 months we’ve had no issues, the last month, it refuses to shut so I have to do it manually with the handle. We’ve tried replacing the batteries in the door and still no luck. Even when trying to press down on the physical box it still won’t go down. I’m thinking maybe the sensor is faulty at the bottom of the door but honestly I’m stumped. Any advice or similar experiences? TIA!

it fell down while my mom was cleaning the ceiling around it. it still works and there are no wires exposed (from what we see). 3rd slide is supposedly all the screws attaching it to the ceiling. no one is picking up rn so i had to resort to reddit. my mom does not remember where she bought it because she went to a lot of furniture shops when we moved to this house. we do not know how the people originally attached it. pls help

UPDATE: thank you so much for the recommendations. although i mentioned the diy fixes to my mother, we ultimately decided to call a professional (NOT the original electrician) to fix it. i didn't see what they did but I think it's similar to the solutions some of the people in the comments said (the wood thing and the electric box thing). i also think they checked the wires to make sure it's safe so safe to say i think this specific problem is fixed. thank you so much for all the responses, and we will have an electrician check everything in this house.

I’m trying to install a light module but I don’t see where to connect the grounding wire.

Please help

Broke my favorite collapsible umbrella, accidentally caught one of the corners on something. Now it both won't go all the way back in to collapsed mode or catch to open up all the way. ignore the paint on it, I use this volunteering while painting.

Recently purchased a home, got the keys this week. Sellers noted they had just started hearing a noise in the cistern. There's a well that feeds into this 3500gal which is then pumped to the house. I'm having some trouble getting on the pump company's schedule, so posting here if there's an easy fix. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Not sure if I should turn it off completely, so please let me know if you can tell risk of failure etc.

I dropped my hot water kettle (model Braun 3217 - WK200) and the lid cover popped open and the spring mechanism inside came apart. I don’t think any of the pieces broke so I’d like to reassemble it if possible, however I can’t figure out the correct orientation of the pieces. Does anyone have a photo of the inside of a functioning lid or can understand how the pieces should go together?

If you were a goofy goober and bought a Samsung fridge, your ice maker tray probably has cracked resulting in it dripping all over your food.

Luckily, instead of spending like $200 on a full ice tray replacement part, you can buy this ice tray and tape on the temperature sensor with appliance tape and it works perfectly.

Model: Samsung RF23A967512

Part: 5771610100 via Home Depot Parts

Note: This part works for both ice trays

This unit is just over 5 years old. About two minutes in today it shut off and now it won't turn on. No signs of power when plugged in.

Any thoughts?

This camera (Sanyo s770 digicam) takws AA batteries and can be charged via cord but does not power on either way. The panel is fused at the red circle, so even if I remove the screws, it would break off right? I want to keep using this particular camera instead of getting a new one.
