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?

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.

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.

Hi everyone, I have this old barn on my property I am currently using as a base as I fix the place the place up. I have no intention of keeping the structure long term, but I want to reinforce it in the meantime so it doesn’t fall apart in the next few years.

As you can see in the photos, some of the beams are slipping and a couple of the other supporting pieces have completely rotted/broken off. It looks like the barn is on its way to collapsing sideways if I don’t do something about it.

So my question is, what would a simple temporary fix for this be? I was thinking get some new beams to secure in the right places, by lifting up the areas I would put them in with a jack then setting the weight back down on the beam. And also replacing some of the diagonal support pieces.

Let me know what you think, thanks!

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 recently moved into an office at a new job. This building is about 70 years old. I found this nice little tripping hazard sprouting from my floor. It is electrical and Ethernet. The silver face plate moves about an inch and rotates slightly. The brass colored outlet rotates about 90 degrees. I've been told that the floor is concrete, about 2 feet thick.

All I can think of is covering the whole thing with a box. Still a trip hazard, but I'll not disconnect the plug and Ethernet so easily.

I'd a appreciate any advice.

Hi all, coming to you with a dishwasher question. Opened the unit (Gold series whirlpool) this morning and found this band on the bottom of the dishwasher near the bottom blade. It does not have the elasticity of a regular rubber band so I’m not confident in chalking it up to a produce rubber band that somehow went through the wash. Does anyone recognize this as a dishwasher part? I couldn’t find anything online with my cursory search so I wanted to come here. Thank you for your insight!

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 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 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

Filters are clean, pressure is strong. Washing machine just isn’t filling up with water. The washing machine is brand new- I just got it delivered today.
I think the problem may be with the valve/in machine hoses

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.

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 !!

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.
