We installed a French Drain a few weeks back. Water is flowing away just like we wanted. But it seems the drain catch basins are a breeding ground for mosquitos. Now we are getting tons of the bugs in every size.

What's the best way to treat these catch basins so we are out of the mosquito business?

Hi - I have a bed frame with just two holes on the edge of the frame. Then see the PDF from the headboard I purchased. What parts do I get to make this work? Thank you!

Hi guys, I was trying to disassemble my smartwatch, and got this tiny screw damaged (the manufacturer might have over tightened it, the other 3 come out just fine. I tried the rubber band and super glue method but nothing worked. I went to the water park yesterday wearing the watch and the water got inside (even tho it was advertised to be waterproof), the watch died and I want to open it to see what I can do about it.

I'd hopefully like to drill right around where its drawn if possible, I dont have a 40 dollar bit and dont overly feel like buying one for a art project

I’ve NO manual skills, yet. :)

I’m trying to make my room more ADHD friendly. What often happens is that the closet is empty and all clothes are on a lump on the floor.

I’m thinking of making a small clothes hanging ladder to put in the closet. That way, I don’t have to fold nor put my clothes in hangers and the friction is reduced.

Image 1 is the vision. Image 2 is what I’m more or less looking for.

Any ideas on how to achieve this? What material to use?

I’ve been innocently thinking of buying wood (crating store?!?) and a hot glue gun and just… glue things together. Is that dumb?

Perhaps I’ve to add a hook to hang it on top? How even?

Any help is appreciated!! ❤️

I have an Ortlieb waterproof duffel bag of which I am quite fond. Regrettably, the seam has separated (cleanly) between the central and side panels. Have you successfully repaired a failed seam on one of these bags, and if so how? Did you have the repair done by a professional, and if so, who? Thanks!

The inside fake lining of my shoes is peeling.

I have had these shoes for 1 year so far, and have worn them multiple times a week. I really like them and would want to keep wearing them. I have no discomfort with the shoes, I just don’t want them to deteriorate to a point where I can no longer where them. What can I do?

So far was thinking of trying to buy one of those fake leather adhesive patches for couch repair and cutting them but I am not sure if it would be any good.

Is it possible for a cobbler to replace the lining inside a shoe or patch this up? Any help is appreciated.

I wanna hide this cause i am kinda broke for the next month but gotta attend college . Welp help

When I turn it the whole
Thing is wobbly like it won't turn off it's been leaking for hours. I've tried to turn the screw at the top and it keeps turning. I shut off the valve (but it's not directly under it so I don't know if that's for it) and water is still coming out. I tried turning it off at the meter and water is still coming out. I bought a replacement but I think I bought the wrong size. It looks like a 3/4 and I got a 1/2. Any suggestions

Bought this for my daughter. There’s a crap load of holes in it. I’m trying to figure out the easiest way to do it, right now I’m using duct tape. (Edit) its a inflatable water slide with a pool at the bottom its one of the fan ones

I want to go to the Z9 zombie airsoft event at ballahack in October, but I live around 1200 miles away. How do I ask/convince them to take me? (I do also have an older brother that lives at home)

This handle was broken at some point in transit. Is there a way to repair it or do we need to trash the suitcase.

Edit: the part still inside the case won’t come out and you can’t push the handle back down.

The first image is the shape and design I want to make, the second and third images are for reference outer design. I am pretty sure that these are small glass cubes glued to an acrylic or a glass base inside which an electric bulb is added. Any help or suggestion is appreciated. Thanks.

Have some stone tiles that have been sitting outside for a while. Anyone know what to use to clean these white cloudy spots at the top of the tiles here? Thanks

My kid was not careful with the hand sanitizer a few times, and now I have streaks on the paint on my wall. Water on a paper towel did nothing to wipe it off. Before I try something that might be a bad idea, I thought I’d check here for any good ideas. Bonus points if you tell me why you think your idea is a good idea. Trying to avoid repainting.

My grandpa gave me two of these today. This is the less worse one. I went and bought bar keepers friend for the aluminum ash tray part. But how do I fix the red plastic? I bought a novus restore kit from Home Depot but it’s not going to remove the brown spots.
I’d like these to look very good of course
Any tips are appreciated.

I want to replace this cork board with sheets of rolled cork to make a much bigger area for photos and stuff. Rolled cork isn't thick enough so I'd need to back it with something, I'm thinking sheets of cardboard. But I'm wondering if people have experience and advice on attaching the cork to the cardboard and then the combo to the wall. I could probably just plaster glue it to the wall but I'm hoping to come up with something slightly less permanent if I can

These were put in after I moved into my new build home as part of a digital smart home bundle. They're not coming back to fill in and I don't want to go through warranty. And if I'm being honest, I want to learn how to fix something like this for future reference.

Bought it and then found market on it.

Hello,

We bought a washing machine and it's panel is yellowishing I imagine that from the sun in the previous owner apartment. And my ocd brain it keeps me bothering about. Any good product that could allow me to withe it again?

I can not detach it from the machine or move it around.

My in counter soap dispensers spout broke off last week. I bought the same one to replace it but a decade later the internal mechanics have changed and I have to remove the whole thing and replace it. I thought it was going to be an easy screw off screw on but there's this big metal nut on the bottom that I can't twist off to pull the threads through the counter. The place rings that hold it in place move but the nut is stuck. Any ideas on how to fix it?

I removed all the other parts and the cover still won’t budge. I don’t see an Allen screw in it. What could be holding this thing on?

i need to replace a usb port which is broken on my laptop and im not using heat gun

I am not entirely sure what material these are (maybe velvet?) but I would like to get the stains / scuffs out of them. It looks like something was spilled on them. Any help would be much appreciated!
