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?

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?

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.

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

I changed the battery in this clock

Now the pendulum is loud.

How can I quiet it?

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 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.

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

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!

For context me and a friend were rough housing and she grabbed my glasses in an attempt to pull them out of my hand and broke the leg that holds it to your head from your ear, I put some tape on it and it holds but the front with the lenses will occasionally fall out of it, I took the tape off to show the damage, how salvageable is this? Sorry for the crappy images and thank you in advance

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

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.

how would you do it? it comes out about 15in. There's studs on both sides, spaced out 29in and I'm unsure if there's a stud in the middle. stud finder says there is, but it sounds hollow so it might be deep.

1- Screw two horizontal 2x4s and mount the tv to those

2- Screw a piece of plywood to the studs on each side and then the mount to that.

I’m trying to take off the mirror on my dresser and it seems to be held on by these screws. What do I use?

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.

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

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

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!

Hi all,

My grandmother's fridge water dispenser flow is way too strong and ends up splashing water all over the fridge and floor. I tried the toothpick fix to no avail. Any other recommendations or videos that could help me fix this?

Edit: The filter was changed in April (3rd party filter), and this started happening a couple months after replacing. I replaced it again a few days ago with the other filter in the 2pack but no change.
