Broken refrigerator door shelf

Post image
Upvotes

The door shelf of my fridge is completely cracked on the bottom. I kept it alive until now with a piece of hardboard glued to the top of the shelf. The hardboard has since rotted from moisture. I have some spare synthetic deck material and I'm thinking of cutting thin strip to use next in the hopes that it will tolerate the moisture more. Looking for any better ideas. Please don't suggest ordering a new one. It's like the price of the fridge.

Fixing slanted door in century home

I am looking for any advice on how to best fix the front door to a home I recently bought built in ~1900. Not only is the door slanted left to right, but the entire bottom of the floor slightly slopes as well. I'm thinking I need to take the entire door out, and cut the door jam?

Bookshelf leaning forward

Post image
Upvotes

I’ve recently moved, and with me I’ve bought a bookshelf (pictured left). I just bought a new one of the exact same bookshelf, and when I put them next to each other, I see that the new one is leaning forward quite a bit.

In the picture circled,you can see the edge of the new bookshelf leaning more and more forward as it goes up. Both halves were even before combining them and screwing the camlocks. Is there something I did wrong? Is it safe, how can I fix it?

Adjustable snow brush broken

Post image
Upvotes

I have what may be a Canadian Tire branded (certainly purchased there) adjustable snow brush. It has a telescopic handle and the brush / squeegee end can be rotated about 180 degrees and locked in place. The lock mechanism for the brush squeegee end has broken. I’d really like to fix it but suspect I can’t. I think the two black pieces of plastic were once one piece. Any insights/advice?

This closet knob/pull keeps falling off its threaded insert

Upvotes

I’ve tried two fixes: epoxy and shaved match sticks and then epoxy putty. The (brass) threaded insert has these “ridges” which I guess help the knob bite when turning it to screw it on. But they do nothing to keep the pull affixed to the insert. (In one of the pics the insert is shown sitting proud of the pull (so not fully inserted) just so you can see how it goes together.)

open Plastic table top repair

Post image
Upvotes

Hi,

I am living in a rental condo in Bangkok. From the condo owner, I got a TV table whose top looks like marble but is actually made from plastic.

I believe while putting my MacBook on the table, the corner of the MacBook chipped off a plastic piece. I want to repair it.

What can be done for this? I am looking for professional services to repair it. Who should I contact to make it repaired.

Pics attached for reference.

open Toilet bowl not draining completely when flushing

Upvotes

My toilet flushes, but the bowl doesn't drain completely. If I put food coloring or a piece of toilet paper in the water, there is a good chance it wouldn't flush completely. This is causing sediment to grow at the bottom of the bowl, forcing me to constantly clean it.

I rent and this issue should be getting fixed by the property manager but I have submitted several work tickets and I'm starting to think they come in, see that it flushes, and mark it as resolved so I'm trying to find a way to more accurately describe the problem (or the fix). Also, if someone could identify what this causes to grow in the bowl (it looks like mold), that would also be appreciated so I can better describe the issue.

Thanks in advance!

open Spilled drink on expensive ESR iPad keyboard — keys now sticky, not removable — safe cleaning options?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hey folks, I spilled a drink (mostly water 30% cranberry juice + pre workout ) on my ESR keyboard case for iPad. It still works, but several keys are now annoyingly sticky. I already tried brushing and wiping — no luck. The keys aren’t removable (at least not safely), and it’s too expensive to just give up on.

I’m wondering if it’s safe to rinse it with isopropyl alcohol or another solvent to break down the sugar. But since it’s electronic, I’m cautious — don’t want to short anything or damage it further. Anyone with electronics cleaning experience (or who’s fixed a similar Bluetooth keyboard) know the safest way to go about this?

Appreciate any tips — especially if you’ve done this before and made it work.

open What gorilla glue should I use

0 Upvotes

If any of you all have used gorilla glue, my sister just got a brand new water bottle for her birthday and has been so happy with it. I was carrying it in from the car for her and dropped it on the rockery and the handle snapped off. She gets really upset about these things and I feel so guilty so I want to fix it, but I don't know what type of gorilla glue I should use for it because there's so many.

Any ideas?

Smoke started came after fluorescent(F40T12) replacement with universal same config LED(plug and play)

So, there are all fluorescent tube lights all around the house, and they F40T12 ones 40 W, and I got the one from Home Depot which is universal and says plug and play and compatible with that… with F40-T12 ones so I replaced that, but then after a while I smell burning smell and see fumes (with buzzing and flickering going, then immediately turned off the switch), took the light out, then realised the fumes and smell was from LED, but then I used one other new fluorescent and put back in same place, it worked fine…. What is going on? Shall I just get the Philips Alto(in picture as the GE like that, they sell anymore)……
