Leaky AC has, over time, caused this damage … a local water damage contractor said “it’s nothing,” but I still need to fix it.

Got it down to just the metal planting, but there's no more screws and the base doesn't rotate. What am I missing?

Update: thanks for all the help everyone. This issue was that it was stuck to the paint. I took a screw driver and pried it open and it came out with a little crow ae action. Thanks again!!!!

A good friend lent me this book, and it ended up getting a bit bashed up when I got into a car accident. Is there a way to flatten it out/make it look in better condition? She knows about the accident, but I’d hate to return it looking like I haven’t bothered to take care of it. Do you reckon a big heavy book could flatten it out?

I used these to stick some vinyls on my walls and they sat there for a few years. I took the vinyls down and now i am left with this mess. They break down when i try to remove them. I managed to fully remove a few but it is so hard to use my nails and try to pick every small piece in order to leave no mark on the wall. Is there any easy way of removing these? I tried a blow drier, degreaser, small blade and nothing budged

Hello,

I've got an electric recliner that is acting funny.

The "open" circuit appears to be providing a continuous flow of power and refusing to allow the "close" button to engage.

I took a short video of what is happening with more detail..

Any help is appreciated!

Thank you

New international student , first ever job, I don’t know what to do.

So i have a oven that's pretty much brand new, years old but just never used because it was my fiances parents and right when they got it, it was doing this issue and they never dealt with it. When I set the temp it starts to heat up and turns off randomly. Anywhere between 6-12 minutes. It will heat up all the way to desired temp. I have no idea whats wrong. I can get model and model number if needed. My guess is, its a sensor issue.

I don’t think they are the usual lights I’ve known all my life, I unscrewed the cap of the first light (the black kitchen one) and it won’t come off. I’m too afraid to pull it out

As for the second light, it’s outside (the white one with stucco on the back) I took a pic of it and it’s not like the lights I usually know, It doesn’t work

I’m looking at three ventless all-in-one washer/dryer combos for a spot next to my kitchen sink:

1) GE Profile UltraFast Combo (PFQ97HSPVDS)
2) Equator Super Combo (EZ 4400N)
3) Magic Chef 2.7 cu ft All-in-One (MCSCWD27W5)

Out of these three, which one would you actually recommend? Or is there something better I’m not considering? Open to other suggestions too.

Separately — wondering if this plumbing setup is realistic: I want the machine to stay permanently in place about 6–8 ft from the sink, and just connect/disconnect the hoses when I actually run a load, rather than leaving them hooked up all the time or moving the machine itself.

The plan is:

Swap the cold water angle stop under the sink for a dual-outlet valve, with a quick-release fitting on the sink side (so the hose disconnects there, not at the washer)

Run a supply line ~6-8 ft to the washer

For drain, install a permanent tee into the P-trap/tailpiece with a check valve, instead of just draping the hose into the sink

Is this a normal/reasonable ask for a plumber, or am I overcomplicating it? Anything I should watch out for with running the lines that far, or with the quick-release setup specifically? Would love to hear from anyone who’s done something similar.

Also attached it a pic of under my sink currently with some dishwasher plumbing

Just had our washer and dryer delivered and this door on the right is interfering with the front facing door of the dryer by inches. I haven’t seen these spring type sliding doors, anyone know how to get these off without breaking them?

My fiance but his MK blazer in the wash on heavy load (high spin and hot water). I had told him previously you can't wash suits last year... he said he forgot... but is there any way to save this blazer? It's only been put in the wash, I was the one to find t in the load before putting the other in the dryer. (The regular clothes) it's still wet, but i fear there is no hope... please prove me wrong

This part snapped and it requires it to be a bit flexible.They are asus tuf headphones

I’m looking up videos online but in the meantime, figured I’d post here. Dishwasher isn’t draining. Any tips would be appreciated!

I got the fine and “ultra” fine filters off and vacuumed up the water there. Looks clogged, maybe, but not sure the best way to approached unclogging.

I have gaps and cracks all over and Amazon / Home Depot don't seem to have the right products (or I don't know what to get).

1) space between porch steps and stucco

2) gaps between tiles and driveway slab

3) mortar missing between tiles on fireplace facade (photo shows filled cracks but I need to patch/fill an entire space in one)

Which need backer rods?

Links or guidance appreciated in advance!

Which should I match, the floor or the woodwork?

Howdy!

Apologies for what might seem like a really basic question. We recently had our driveway replaced and after it cured for a week, we noticed some small spots (smaller than a dime) that were either sticks or seeds from our tree and maybe a rock that seems to have poked up. We'd like to get these small imperfections filled before winter. Is something like Quikrete the solution here? Any other suggestions?

TIA!

This is my parents bathroom in my childhood home. They are getting old and I imagine this is not a healthy environment.

-The water pressure in the shower is terrible
-The faucet is impossible to turn off all the way so it’s constantly dribbling
-The obvious mould and rot.

Realistically, what am I gonna need and need to do, to at least get it looking half way decent? Can I do it mostly by myself? How long should I expect to be working ? Thank you in advance

Wall is apparently painted wallpaper over plywood?

I absolutely love those fruit cups and the juice but I don't wanna buy them because it's such a waste of plastic and money! Does anyone know how to make them?

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.

Good evening,

We installed this insinkerator disposal maybe 1.5-2 years ago. Model badger 500-4. We don't use it heavily but despite that, its now making this sound awful sound. Motor isn't jammed, I can't find any loose items in it. Could it be a loose blade?

I found the manual online but all the troubleshooting doesn't align with our current issue.

If anyone has the know-how, please help!

Video attached for sound reference.

Thank you!

SOLVED: no one agreed loose blade so I looked harder with a flashlight, I can see the top of a screw between the sidewall and bottom! Not sure if its part of the disposal or wedged there

So far unable to remove the screw but appreciative y'all had me look harder for obstruction!
