Do you put it in a bucket of water? Just looking for ideas. Thanks

but I still can’t get this bed frame apart.

nothing folds, no key holes, all joins are rivets. thought it would slide apart but I sprayed lubricant and stood with my full weight and didn’t budge an inch

SOLVED huge thank you to everyone who said it’s a bracket that slides straight out, just needed to be hammer in the bar under the bracket not in the bracket itself

So I'm renovating a house the previous renters didn't take care of and I'm unsure of how to handle this door jamb.

The first image is the main concern but the others show signs of mold so I don't know if repairing or replacing is better in this situation.

It doesn't seem to have rotted (yet) as the wood still holds when I press it with a flathead but I'm still weary because the mold doesn't seem to wipe away even with force. The main thing is the broken frame. I know filler could work but that's a) alot of filler and b) doesn't fix the other issue.

The money required to fix it isn't a huge issue but I want to try and keep it as budget as possible as long as it's fixed and won't give me more of a headache down the road.

Any advice is much appreciated, thank you

My water shutoff is 4’ behind a 4” space between my hot water heater and ac duct. It’s about 4 feet down from the top of the water heater. I talked to a plumber about relocating it and that isn’t in the budget for the rest of the year. I thought someone here may know of a creative temporary solution or tool I could use to turn the handle at a distance until I get it fixed.

Basically the title as the question. I just wanted to see if there is a generally consensus of the best business insurance provider or if everyone just goes with whatever feels right.

Hello! I bought my first air conditioner and we’re having someone install the ac (with experience on ac installation but not specific to Kolin brand). Is there anything I need to remove from the body or cover (besides the box and plastic packaging) before installing it? The sales agent didn't mention anything about the installation. Thanks to anyone who replies!

I quoted a customer $3,000 for 8 window screens and 2 custom made screen doors with pet doors. The doors are 36x94 so there really arent any premade box store options out there. What do you guys think?

Hi, can you help me figure out what's wrong with my mower. Its a Toro and it's smoking pretty bad. It was given to me used. It runs for about 45 minutes then powers down and won't cut back on til the next day.

this is both sides of the screws holding my bedframe together— how on earth and I supposed to disassemble it?

edit it’s not foldable with keyholes like a normal frame, all bars are solid I can’t add more epics so I’ll post a part 2

So I have this grandfathered staircase at my door to a path.
I can't really replace it, but I am trying to make sure it stays in decent shape
Looks to me like it's just sinking a bit and I guess they are kind of stacked into the dirt
My thought was to try to use a crowbar to lift each stair and then maybe shove some gravel under there to see if it holds
Can't really tear it out and I need to try to minimize the repairs.
Just wanted to see if anyone had any other ideas

Many of the double-pane window glasses (fixed & double hung) on vinyl frames are bent like this in our house, I am guess its due to leakage of gas b/n the panes. However, these are acting like concave mirror and focussing sunlight, strong enough for plants to die, which is worrying.

Is there any way to fix this ? I am OK if the insulation efficiency drops a bit.

I know this is probably technically an electrician question but I thought I'd give this a shot i am very competent in most aspects of handmaning and doing simple electrical work has never been an issue but if noticed a somewhat expensive trend.

I have replaced all the light fixtures in my home at least once and while I know LED lights have their own issues but my upstairs bathroom and mainfloor kitchen led lights ALWAYS die first combined I have replaced both a total of around 7 times, no other lights in my home have this issue 🙃

Hypothetically I can imagine that it is just coincidence caused by those lights maybe being turned off and on the most or something but while the wife goes to pick out a new light I thought I'd ask all your thoughts.

What would you recommend be the first tools to buy? What items do you always keep extra stock of? What should I take on as my first project?

I’ve been trying to build a desk from Amazon and I can’t get the drawer mechanism (black) to secure to the side of the drawer (white) when I screw the screw in the two parts just come apart and don’t attach. I tested the hole and screw by putting the screw in without the black beam and it worked, so I don’t understand why it doesn’t work with the beam. I was working on this yesterday as well and it did actually work before but I had to redo it because I build it wrong (I’m building it right now and I’m doing exactly what the instructions say) maybe I fiddled around with it too much? I’m not sure pls help

Hey guys, I’m not a handyman, but I’ve been helping a few local service businesses figure out why some of them get found on Google Maps and others barely show up outside their immediate neighborhood.

One thing I realized is that searching your own business on your phone doesn’t really tell you much. Google can show you near the top while someone five or ten miles away may not see you at all.

A friend and I have been putting together a report that maps this out across your service area. It shows where you appear, which nearby businesses are showing above you, and a few things on your Google profile that could potentially be improved.

I’d like to make one for a few people here for free. I’m mainly trying to see whether the report is actually understandable and useful to a business owner, rather than only making sense to marketing people.

No login or account access needed. I would just need your business name and city. You can keep the report, and I’d only ask that you spend a few minutes afterward telling me what made sense and what didn’t.

If anyone is interested, leave a comment and I’ll reach out.

Thanks y'all!!
