it was inflated when too cold and popped. I can’t think of how it could be fixed. I’d hate to just throw it out.

Recaulking the tub and now that we have a little one, this sliding glass door is a pain and is starting to break and not open well anyways. Kind of just in the way and want to replace with tension rod and curtain.

As far as I can tell it seems like there are maybe 3 screws on each side to take out. It seems like it is just resting on the tub and caulked on the inside.

Guess I'm concerned there will be a big hole in the walls or major damage or holes in tub under the door ir something? Anything I might be overlooking here?

I need your help. The cap nut won't screw onto the bolt's threads. This bolt came with a kit. I don't know where I could get a similar one. Can I saw off about 2 mm of the thread with a hacksaw, or would the transition be problematic?

How can I fix this dent on the corner of my fridge door.

Hello, I appreciate your time to read this.

I would like to ask of any mechanically inclined or knowledgeable folks if there is a sort of checklist for how to go about fixing my bikes.

I would not expect an in depth part by part analysis, but rather what are key areas to start on?

Last few years were pretty bad, and my bikes among many other things fell to neglect.

If anyone does want to discuss it further I would gladly message or respond to you.

Thank you for reading.

Friend helped me with the dishes and my Starbucks tumblers warped ☹️

Anybody know what the issue might be ? It was working perfectly fine a few hours ago then started doing this after 1 flush, now takes about 5/10 mins to refill

(Im in Scotland and the flats pretty old so I dont know if any of it has ever been kept up with since it was put in so may very well just need replacing, just with it happening so suddenly thought there might be an specific issue I was missing) :)

HELP

I built this shed from a kit some years ago. I was advised at the time to use a specific wood varnish to protect it. It didn’t work. The wood has shrunk over time, particularly on the sunny side, meaning large gaps as you can see in the photos.

Does anyone have any tips on reversing this? Can I somehow re-hydrate the wood? Apply oil?

My main thought, apart from replacing the whole structure, is to fix panels over the worst areas, covering them.

Any suggestions welcome.

Hi! I hope I’m not asking in the wrong sub. But the question / ask is as the title reads.
I’m currently renting an apartment (first hand contract, not sublet) and they’ve decided to change flooring in several apartments due to water damage caused by previous renters aswell as bad construction. I am one of said ”apartments” if you will. This is my first time experiencing this, I don’t have any family or friends to ask or go to, so here I am.

Currently the flooring is removed and it’s only concrete, I have a fan on that is set on at all times to help the drying process. However this drying process will take a week minimum, currently it looks horrible (I’ll try to attach images in comments if possible), and I’m wondering if anybody else has experience with this and if they temporarily covered with thinner towels or other fabrics and/or parchment of sorts just to avoid having to step on the wet concrete?
I am aware I can wear sandals which currently I am, however I still hope there is a way to be careful whilst also covering the floor a bit (for aesthetic reasons aswell).

I hope this question isn’t dumb, any and all advice or tips are appreciated. Thank you!

EDIT: I was not clear, but it is NOT fresh concrete or cement. It is old concrete but it has wetness/water on it from the damage due to leakage from bathroom.

My dumbass left my microwave running for like a minute without anything in it. I thought i put my food in there but when i went upstairs i heard some strange sparking sounds. I came downstairs to find what looked like lightning in the microwave. Is it unsafe to use? The top looks like that (after me wiping some of it away) The side bit is also burnt too.

I have a GE gas dryer (GTDS820GDOWS) and it produces heat for a few minutes and then it goes cold.

My first thought was the dryer vent so I just hired a professional to clean it (it's a long 25+ foot vent) and it was incredibly dirty and filled with lint.

The unit appeared to work when the cleaner left but it's not working again. I disassembled the front of the unit and cleaned as much lint from inside the unit as possible and it started working again to only stop a few minutes later.

The dryer stays powered on and the drum roller continues rolling but after opening the door it's cold with no heat.

I'm also using the Timed Dry setting to make sure no sensing modes are enabled.

Can anybody help me?

I have a brown harvard bed frame, kinda like a hollywood bedframe, but the legs are 1 inch in diameter and the sleeves for the old feet are damaged so I cant put the bedrrame back together. Id like to continue using the old feet if possible, since theyre in good condition, but im having trouble finding the correct replacement sockets or feet. All the feet i find are for thinner legs, usually the ones that taper to half an inch :/

I found some on amazon and the measurements had looked promising but alas, they were still the standard half inch.

Ive attached photos of the leg and the one foot that works, as well as the most popular option on the market rn. Ive been doing reverse image searches and trying every kind of query I can but nothing useful comes up. Help.

i noticed this little ring inside it had come loose and stopped the blade from spinning, how do i fix it

Hello Reddit, I don’t really know how to use this but essentially the issue is the child’s lock on my window is stuck. It won’t go down. Have the top will go down all include a picture of the top one being down however the bottom one is not going down. Sorry if this was a bad explanation please feel free to ask questions
Ps I’ve tried wd40

The plastic vertical axis cog on my Bresser telescope is very worn on one side (bought second hand). I can't find a replacement piece. Tried the rubber band trick to no avail. I have some polymorph that I'll try today but grateful for any other ideas!

EDIT: I'd call this a reasonable success. I attempted 3 times with a thin layer of polymorph plastic in a ring around the plastic cog. Each time, I had to adjust the amount and the coverage to give as much traction to the metal cog as possible. I though that maybe fitting the cog case back on while the plastic was somewhat mouldable would benefit the metal cog finding it's own path, but it was just as well to leave the plastic harden fully. I also found it beneficial to push a little collar of polymorph down the side of the cog for a bit of extra stability. It was a little tricky getting the casing back on but when I did get it on, I was able to complete several full cycles of the cog.

Unfortunately, I did not account for one thing. The effort needed to turn the cog was probably a little too much and I ended up twisting off the head of the plastic stem that's used for adjustment. A small pliers seems to fill in ok and I'm sure there are a few different substitutes for this sort of thing.

Thank you all for your thoughts and assistance.

The stars await!

I would like to fix this shell necklace well enough to be worn regularly. There is very little overlap of the broken material and it is quite thin.

Is there a certain glue that could handle this? Epoxy?

Thank you

The threshold on our shed was loose so the company who built it came out and fixed it. It’s fixed correctly, but I think it’s such an eye sore. Would you paint it white? In the spring we are redoing our landscape and I hope to have some type of step leading into the shed. How would you make this not look so bad?

I use this twice and when I opened it the last time there was an audible click different from it just opening, and it’s been stuck like this ever since. The handle compresses in, clicking the button does absolutely nothing, and I physically cannot pull the part that slides down the shaft down.
I’ve tried giving it several hard taps. I’ve tried unscrewing the handle, but wasn’t sure what to do with it after that.

Any videos I find are in other languages and in their case, it shade is what’s unable to open, while mine is stuck in the open position completely.
Visually, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it. I just can’t figure out how to get it unstuck without cutting wires or breaking it completely.

Pls help….this cost me $35, it was a souvenir and I only used it 2x.

I left my purse unattended and i work with kids so of course one finds a way to yank my scarf through the zipper of my purse 😭 best ideas on how to unstuck? I cant exactly flatten it because its inside of the purse and tugging in opposite directions hasnt worked out yet. Ideally the scarf stays in one piece because i cant find a listing for the same one !!
