Took it out my (what I thought was protective) laptop bag and screen got “ got” ! After slight panicking I frankastein a temp solution for the day kinda of worried of it standing on its own.

Is it possible to just replace the wheel somehow or do i need to find the whole side piece of the drawer?

Hi all,

I am trying to remove the old flooring which was vinyl sheet. The past owner installed it directly on the osb subfloor. The sheet vinyl itself can be removed easily but there are a lot of residue.

My question is, after trying my best to remove loose paper , can I skim coat with Ardex on top of the residue? Or do I need to remove all the residue?

Picture attached. Link for the Ardex I'm using: https://www.amazon.com/Ardex-Feather-Finish-Self-Drying-Cement/dp/B004GUAIT8

Hey everyone,

I’m having an issue with my Bosch dishwasher—it’s no longer cleaning my dishes properly. After some troubleshooting, I noticed that the part responsible for spraying water (the spray arm) doesn’t seem to be spinning.

I’ve already tried cleaning it with vinegar, but it doesn’t appear to be clogged. Water does come out, yet the dishes remain dirty, even after three wash cycles.

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? Is there anything else I can try before considering a replacement?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hey all! My front door handle keeps coming off when I pull it. The metal spindle comes out along with it. There is no handle on the other side of the door, just a flat surface. How can I properly secure it so it stays in place? Any advice would be great! Thank you in advance!

This door goes from my garage to my entrance, which is at ground level - the majority of my house is above, we are in a flood zone (there hasn't been water intrusion in the garage in at least 15 years). I am having the garage floors done with polyaspartic and the interior VCT removed and will have a 'metallic coating' over the cement. The thresholds need to be at least replaced - but the fact that the exterior side is inside my house makes me think that they are pointless to have since it's an outswing door.

I was thinking just a sweep under the door would be reasonable.

Neither the garage nor the entrance is climate controlled, however I'd like to try to keep it tight as the garage is cooler than the entrance in the winter. Summer temp differences are not as significant, maybe 7-10 degrees difference.

Any idea of what this is? Is it fixable?

My cat scratched up the edges of my door frame. Moving out of my apartment next month and need to fix it ( or hide it well enough that they don’t notice). What’s my best course of action? Wood filler, sand it down, and paint it?

ETA: Here's a link to a video that includes the sound.

Our dryer started squeaking about 45 mins into a load today. I removed about 4/5 of the load and the squeaking was significantly less, but becomes louder as it runs, but still not as loud as when it was cycling a full load through it. Does anyone know if this points more to the belt or to something else? TIA!

I bought an old house. I peeled the carpet off of these stairs and damaged the risers. I put down traction strips so I don’t slip. How do I make these look better? Can I cover them with easy-to-install vinyl that goes around the edge of the stair? Am I able to patch the wood chips somehow?

I called a plumber in to fix a water leak I had about 2 weeks ago. It was the coldest day it had been, never getting above 0. He turned water off so that he could work on it. When we turned the water back on, every pipe (hot and cold) but the hot water in the kitchen (furthest pipe from the hot water heater) got back flow. Under the assumption of a frozen hot water pipe, Plumber suggested a space heater and opening the faucet to hot so we can know when flow is back and it would naturally unfreeze. We did that. It wasn’t until it hit above 32 last week did we get a hot water trickle. It hasn’t increased more than trickle though. It’s been about a week and a half since the frozen pipe. Any suggestions?

No clue how this stain got on my jacket’s sleeve, but it didn’t come out after washing it. Any ideas on how to fix it? 100% polyester if that helps. Thank you very much!

Sorry I have no video of it as I didn’t think about that, just rushed to the basement to shut the power

it’s a Maytag gas oven. Not sure if the power went out during the night but this morning it gave the “check that knobs are at off and press start” message, which shows up when the neighbourhood’s power cuts out

I just pressed start to clear the message, didn’t use it, but after around an hour while I was eating the noise just started. It’s not like a regular transformer hum, it was like an alarm kind of loud so that caused me to just get up and rush

Right now I have the power to it off in the electrical panel as I’m heading out the house for a bit and don’t want to risk anything.

Any thoughts or ideas on what this could be? Can I turn power back on and just leave it as normal? If not, where should I start looking?

Thank you!
