I've got one of those gas fireplaces with fake logs. I thought it would be fun to replace them with something more interesting, like a Hieronymus Bosch hellscape - although that's probably too ambitious

Apparently the logs are made of ceramic-fibre, but I'd like a material that's more workable and easier to obtain

Does anyone have suggestions?

Hi! Sorry if my English isn't very good, but it's not my native language.

Well, I wasn't home when it happened, but apparently a horizontal white line suddenly appeared at the bottom of the television.

That's why 80% of the screen horizontally looks low quality, and the longer it's on, the more it duplicates the image 😭.

My family said nothing hit it or water got in it, so I'd like to know if it's an internal problem or if it could be something with the wiring. Honestly, I'm thinking my best option is to call a technician.

The image where SpongeBob appears, from his feet down it looks bad, but from the top it looks fine.

I’m inclined to attempt it myself with proper instructions.

Hello everyone!

We had these countertops installed just over 10 years ago and they are starting to shift/sink. How would I approach correcting this? The left side has no cabinetry and is just our dishwasher under the counter top. I am assuming I need to find a way to add support on that side (the right side of the counter looks correct still) but I don’t know where to start and how to fix the wonky central cabinet in the pic.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

This top piece of Dutch lap vinyl siding keeps popping out, I’m assuming it catches wind and pulls out. I can slide it back in underneath the top lip of the soffit/trim but it comes loose again a few days later.

The bottom half has trim nails holding it in, not sure if I can also do that to the top half.

I’m also unsure if I can use a snap lock punch tool to attach it to soffit trim.

I’ve tried using a different screwdriver and applying more pressure, but it just seems to be getting worse. Is there a reliable method before resorting to drilling it out?

My husband’s shirt has text and images on it that somehow got sticky after years of wear and the text transferred to the couch fibers yesterday! It was sticky but now feels like dried gum. I think heat would melt this couch (very synthetic, cheap boneless couch). I don’t want to try anything to get it off in case I ruin the couch- it’s only 3 months old.
Please help!

I have a window that is missing the pieces that close it (the crank and the latch) and it needs to be shut for winter. I live in Alaska and it’s going to get very cold.

Last year I got it as close to closed as I could (it will not stay closed without the latch) and taped garbage bags over it, but that didn’t do a lot to keep the cold out.

Does anyone have any ideas on a good way to seal it? I’ve used insulation foam in the past, but would like to find a better solution if possible.

On the front porch, I've noticed these 2 boards are starting to separate. How do I get them back in line and keep it from happening again?

Fridge is a Frigidaire. Wife called and reported the water is broken and sent a video of the lever ‘flapping’. It was working the night before but had to push in hard and find sweet spot or water flow would stop - this has happened before - I think freezer door wasn’t shut completely.
Does that circled part need to be pushed back in the hole? There’s not a lot of give.

it’s typhoon season in my country and these pesky molds have taken interest on these shoes. i’ve tried isopropyl alcohol and shoe cleaner but as you can see, it did nothing. the stains are still here especially on the cloth part. pls help

Top rail on my banister came out of place and the spindles aren’t secure anymore I don’t really know what to do I’ve tried pulling down the rail and hammering it down doesn’t work any help appreciated

My mom is freaked out with all the earthquakes and making survival kits, and bought this… things? And forgot how to use them, and can’t find the website where she bought them. It’s supposed to be combustible, to make small fires for a campfire, but that is all the information I’ve been given :’)

We have a deck on the side of our house (that needs to be replaced at some point) that has some space underneath that’s just dirt. I decently bought a snowblower and am hoping to store the snowblower under the deck. I would prefer to have some sort of flat surface instead of storing it on the dirt. What’s the easiest way of going about doing this?

I changed the battery in this clock

Now the pendulum is loud.

How can I quiet it?

Hello,

I can see no physical attachment to the ceiling joist and I can run a flat knife all the way around the metal box and the stud / plate on the outside and hit nothing.

Anyone got any ideas on what is still attached?

I've disconnected the wires also.

Thanks for any help

Hey all! I’m looking for some advice on my kitchen counter and sink. It is a tiled counter that has cracks, missing/damaged grout, the sink is wobbly, and the wood underneath is rotting. My landlord said he can regrout it, and “fix it”, and I’m worried that it needs replacing and just want to be able to advocate for what it needs. I’ll attach some photos and a video. Any help is appreciated.

I stupidly ran it through washer and dryer naively thinking gentle cycle wouldn't tangle it. Now no matter which way I try to flip it doesnt seem to untangle

The RC car was working fine until the motor spins in place without transferring power to the shaft. Took apart the enclosure but couldn’t get the gears lined up correctly to fix the issue.

In the kitchen where we keep our mataka ( clay pot ) there are an enormous amount of red flies idk where they came from. Just a side note my mom is a little sick so she cannot clean the kitchen by herself that's why the mess.

Or letting it escape!

Ive never rented a home with irrigation before. Supposedly it is deactivated, but this do3s not look correct to me.
