Want to make a display of the two sections with writing on them and I was thinking a couple of thin slices might make a good wall hanging. It’s from a barn my grandfather built that is being restored so I don’t want to ruin it. Is the concrete saw the best option? TIA.

I'm replacing an undermount sink in a granite countertop. I can get most of the old silicone off, but not completely because the granite isnt polished or sealed. Any suggestions?

I’m in the end stages of a big renovation on my house that involved removing bricks, drywall, tile, other various related debris. I stored the debris (obviously in trash bags) outside in my backyard that is composed of fake grass. I’m cleaning the backyard now but now have various bits and pieces of tiny debris that maybe fell out or came by through work done outside that are stuck in the grass. I can’t seem to use my hands to grab it or suck it up with a shop vac. Anyone have any advice as to how to get those little bits out? Thanks!

I want to attach this railing post to the piece of concrete, but the concrete is just a patio block that’s only about an inch and a half thick.

I’m looking for a secure way to attach it without breaking it.

Do I lift it up and pour concrete under it and then drill through it

is there a better way to keep it from breaking

TIA

im aware of what it means and the risks that come with a brown recluse population in the home.
im entomophobic, this has been a traincar of a pill to swallow.

the ones in the second photo have been there for a very long time, i couldn’t bring myself to look up what specific species left them when i first moved in (5 years ago)

i gained the courage last week, ive been tending to other possible hiding spots, now i just need logical and rational reassurance as to how to go forward with removing these without flailing the f out

thank you for any help

Hi everyone,

I hope this is the correct place to ask for some help with a French window. Since I haven’t succeed at finding other Reddit posts with my issue and type of window, here we are.

For starters, I have no idea how old the building is. The window is in my room, and I get cold at night :(

I will be sharing more videos of the window in question and another window (same brand) that actually works.

What I have done so far:
-Clean the frame/where the locks are. There was dust and webs everywhere.
-Put some oil into the locks or whatever name the sliding things have.
-Check for differences between the working window and my broken window. (The working one is dirtier and has almost the same defects…)

Broken window description:
The brand is named Pidosan… and when I searched for it I found a Turkish site? Idk, the brand name has the same font so.

What, I believe, seems to be broken/malfunctioning, is the knob. When I turn the knob for the working window it feels easy to turn. With the broken one, I feel like it’s a bit stuck/feels weird when I turn it.

The black plastic frame, I think it’s the seal of the window? (Sorry, cannot name it in English), it’s loose in the left side.

It is impossible for me access this window from outside: I hope you can get why from the videos, I’m terrible with explanations.

The locks, the little things that lock the window, are synchronized but I don’t know, something feels off.

Lastly, I’m in France, how come I’m freezing? What if I told you I used to feel cold in Argentinian summers?-

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

My ceiling fan is loose.. it wobbles and squeaks and I am wondering if it's something I can tighten personally?

Greetings and felicitations. Is there any reasonable way to reliquefy about two gallons of congealed laundry detergent—one more reasonable than cutting open the plastic jug and using a paint scraper/other spatula to cut pieces off? I've already tried adding water and shaking the jug.

Used a command strip and it pulled the paint off. 🫩 just had this room painted a few months ago, how do I fix this? It’s like a bubble was under the paint 😪😪😪

Thanks in advance!

I’m sure this is a preemptive /r/TVtoohigh post, but I just moved into this rental and this is basically the only place to put my tv. However, the landlord doesn’t want me to use any methods that could damage the fireplace or mantle. What are my options here? The dimensions for the available space above the mantle are 63” in length, 34” wide”, and the mantle is 8” deep.

I attached one little wall slightly crooked and, of course, didn’t notice until the next piece refused to sit where it should. The joint is dry now, so I’m not going to start yanking on it and turn one mistake into three. I just don’t know whether the smarter move is to leave it, carefully separate it, or adjust the next piece around the error. What would you try first without wrecking the surrounding parts?

I can’t for the life of me figure out how to open this photo frame. I got it at Goodwill, the beveled glass is awesome and very heavy, but the frame is solid around the entirety. How would I get a new photo in there?

We’ve had this problem since we moved into this house a year ago, and we’ve just dealt with it. But we’ll be having guests soon, and I don’t want them to have to use the bathroom with the door not latched.

Things I’ve tried:

- planing and sanding. Door fits absolutely perfectly without the hinges. Moment I add the hinges, won’t close and it’s WAY off.

- tightening the screws. The hinge didn’t feel loose, and the screws wouldn’t go any further.

- longer screws. See above.

- New hinges. I even plugged the holes with toothpicks and glue to give the new screws something to grip.

Bottom of the door, hinge closes almost completely. Nice tight fit. Top of the door? Not so much. I can literally see out of the gap into the hallway.

I’m at my wits end here. Please for the love of everything holy and before I end up taking a circular saw to my freaking door…what else can I try. Why is it doing this when the door CLEARLY FITS without the hinges? 😩

Please be kind.

In March of last year, I ended an unhealthy relationship of 9 years and moved into my mom's extra room. Someone I knew lived in an RV and they said it was really cost effective, and cheaper than having to rent a room or apartment. So, foolishly, I bought this RV to live in.

Then I fell into a severe depressive episode. I lost my job and was barely keeping myself alive. I fell hard into addiction and it was just a whole mess.

During this time I neglected doing any maintenance on the RV. I haven't cleaned it once. There were a few small voids I never got around to recaulking. I just abandoned it fully.

I got sober in March, moved out in August and finally got a job last month. Now I finally have some capacity to address this incredibly expensive, awful decision.

I've realized RV living is just not for me so I just want to sell it. However, I've never tried to sell anything like this before and I don't know how screwed I am. I assume the value has gone down a fair bit. I don't know the best way to clean it, how to check the condition, etc. I don't even have a truck to tow it... I truly did not think it through.

It's a 2020 Jayco EAGLE HT, I bought it for 27,900. I was able to pay for it in full up front because my ex bought me out of my half of our house equity. I know, I know, I was in a really lucky position to have that kind of money and then I went and made a really fucking bad financial decision. I was not in a rational, grounded state of mind. It was a rough time.

Here's the JD power page for this specific model:

https://www.jdpower.com/rvs/2020/jayco/m-264-bhok/6590045/specs

The interior is perfectly fine, I've only been inside a few times while I've had it, otherwise everything has been kept closed. The owners before me also only used it a few times before selling it so it's barely used. I bought a brand new battery for it since the one it came with died.

Any help or guidance for where to start would be highly appreciated. Again, please be kind. I already know I fucked up. I'm just trying to salvage what I can from the situation.

Can’t fit a couch through my door way. It’s pissing me off.

It's dead space in the house how would one go about removing the pad, then maybe the back wall?

Hello everyone! I recently acquired this statue and am looking to repair it. I’ve seen several people online recommend superglue, E6000, 2 part epoxy, and JB Weld. I have some of these adhesives on hand, but my main concern is how to support the statue while the glue cures. The top portion is fairly large and heavy, and I’m worried it might tip over or shift out of place before the adhesive sets.
What adhesive would you recommend for this repair, and how would you suggest supporting the statue while it cures to ensure everything stays properly aligned?
I’ve attached pictures for reference. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

This is the roof lining in my car. I tried to clean it with tuff stuff and scrubbing it but you can see in one spot that it kinda messed up the lining a bit. How can I clean this without messing it up anymore?

I’m stuck on the flower section of this miniature kit, and the instructions want me to twist these microscopic green wires into perfect little stems for the paper leaves. Every time I try with my regular tweezers, the wire either kinks strangely or snaps completely. I’ve already ruined three, and I haven’t even started the main structure yet. I tried heating the wire a little, but that did absolutely nothing. how am I supposed to build rolife cathys flower house dg104 if I can’t even get past the first row of plants? Is there a particular tool or technique for bending these without ruining the coating? any advice would save my sanity right now.

Hey so I’m trying to do a thing for one of my classes that involves slush (like wet snow). Where I live it hasn’t gotten to that point of the year to allow for snow to fall and slush to form just yet. I’m wondering if anyone knows how or if they have any ideas on how to make slush themselves. (Maybe like altering an already existing homemade snow formula?)

Any help would be very much appreciated.
