Seeking advice on whether this setup will suffice: I recently relocated and unfortunately misplaced the center leg support for my metal bed frame. All other components are assembled and appear to be secure. I’m wondering how essential is the center support in maintaining the frame’s stability and durability? I contacted Zinus for a replacement, but they only offer a full set of parts and screws, which is quite costly. I appreciate any insights. thank you in advance!

Hi, what is the best way to fix and easiest way to fix this? Should I cut a peace out and get dry wall repair kit?

Her candle placement was less than optimal and she realized after a little while she had melted a hole into the plastic shell of the shower. I don't even know where to start. Putty/Spackle, paint, then clear coat epoxy? Any other ideas?

Hello! When this bed was on carpet, this was not an issue. But finding that the support beams under this metal frame are bending and slipping on this wooden floor, also scratching the wood as well.

My idea is to go to Home Depot/Lowe's and cut out 2x4s to place next to them to keep them straight and prevent them from sliding.

Think I would cut a small groove at the top of the 2x4s to have them stay put along the central beam. Is this the way to go? Appreciate any suggestions.

OR since the bed isn't breaking, just put a rug underneath it?

Hi all, This was built in 2017. Since we’ve moved in, we’ve seen more and more cracks in the grout. This Canadian winter we saw months of freezing weather and it basically caused all of the grout to break. Most of the tiles can be taken off like the left one that’s missing in the picture

I was wondering what we could do different to prevent this when we fix it this year. I think the white staining on the tiles are from the grout that was originally there, not sure if there’s any fixing those

My parents home had the same grout between the tiles for 20 years without any issues.

I just tried installing a new lock on my front door, which involved replacing the old deadbolt. The previous deadbolt was an old metal piece that had been set in place by carving out part of the door frame. What’s the best way to fill that space so I can properly install the new strike plate? (Ignore metal brackets)

Yes that is electrical tape melted to hot wires for my water heater. Yes I am renting someone house flipping botch job. How the heck would I fix this.

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)……

So i decided to be curious and this happened. Is there anyway I can fix it or should I just buy a new one?

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?

I was cutting up cardboard on my desk and made a couple of cuts. I would really like to know if there's a way to repair it, like filling the cuts with something maybe. Please and thank you.

want to preface this by saying that i know what i did was very very stupid-- i'm a complete and total beginner to anything diy or home repair, and i never had any helpful parents or role models to teach me these things when i was growing up. i thought i did my research and was doing something easy but i was wrong. so, i know i made a mistake, i just want to figure out the best way to fix it!

i wanted to hang some new curtain rods, thought i was drilling into drywall but it turned out to be a stud. the anchors that came with the curtain rods didn't work and just spun around, so i got some huge anchors (second picture) to fix it, which *would* have worked... if i didn't realize then that i was putting them into a stud and it was totally ruining my wall!!

i know i need to spackle/sand the drywall, but i want to try to fix the stud so i can hopefully re-drill that spot, because the *other half* of the curtain rod is already properly installed! i don't want to reposition the holes on just one side and end up with a lopsided curtain rod.

the original holes were made using a 15/64 drill bit and i think were approx 1 & 1/2th inches deep, but trying to add the anchor of course made the lower one bigger (i didn't try with the top one). how would i go about patching this? i saw posts recommending dowels or toothpicks plus wood glue, but i'm not sure what's best and safest. alternatively, if i do have to remove the other half of the rod and just reposition them both, advice on that is appreciated too!

any advice is appreciated, thank you!! and yes, i got a stud finder to avoid this in the future now...

I bought a desk (this) and it wobbles upwards and backwards, but side to side it doesn't do it (it moves like this). I was thinking of buying 5 Ikea legs and place 4 in each corner 1 in the center but i don't know if that would solve the problem.

Is there another solution? this is the desk manual

sorry if it is difficult to understand, I'm not a native English speaker

I have two white wires and ground where the button was, red wires at the chime and a red and white at the transformer. I have no continuity at the button but I do at the chime. I have no clue where the button wires are running to but it's clearly not to chime like I expected. Just trying to get some input.

Hi, I'm new. My hubby and I moved into my mom's apartment for a while until we can get back on our feet.

We are in the master bedroom. Used to be my deceased dad's room. The sliding pocket door is off the track, it's so jammed packed. I don't know what my dad did to this door.

By pulling on the sliding door, even with force it won't bulge. We have screwdrivers, but what is the best course of action to get this door on to the track so it can easily slide back and forth?

I had someone re-tile my shower a few years ago. Most of the grout work is fine and looks like the light grey photo.

However, one section has a weird issue where the grout never seems to dry, is sticky to the touch, and seems to "leak" a sticky, oily ubstance down the tile. It comes right off the tile with any regular cleaning solution, but always returns.

Does this mean something was done incorrectly with the waterproof barrier like not waiting long enough before the guy did the tiling over? I remember the barrier was very very red.

If it was going to fail, I'd have expected it by now, but maybe I'm living on borrowed time. Additionally, it's certainly unsightly.

Amy ideas what the actual problem is? And is there any way to fix it outside of removing that wall of tiling? Or is this a full teardown kind of issue?

Is there anything I Can do to fix this

The bit the screw goes into came out with it.

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.)

Hello!!

Our wine fridge isn’t getting cold, it’s sat at 21c it looks like and won’t budge. I’ve tried resetting it, hoovering the bars underneath from dust, is it dead?

I probably have a replacement screw but not sure how to get the broken part out. It's not very deep, but there nothing to grab onto. Any delightful tricks?

Hello everyone

anyone know what these are called so I can replace? they are like hook/clips that hold a bar in place for a wooden table

many thanks 🙏🏻
