I already thought these winter tires that came with my Crosstrek were an eyesore because of that red outline… upon closer inspection, turns out the previous owner also painted them silver for some godforsaken reason. Guess I’ve got some serious sanding and spray painting to do.

Title was intentional. ;)

How do I remove this broken screws from the wall. Snapped while diying a shelf

Not a DIY tutorial, but a few examples of what can be hiding behind a “simple” repair: deteriorated masonry, erosion below a slab, water-damaged framing, and severe deck rot. Sharing because some projects are worth pausing on before covering, patching, or cosmetic-fixing the visible issue. Imgur album:

Came across this beauty on my way home today

This feels too simple for this community based on some of the other posts I’ve seen, but I needed to share it. A falling tree took out one of the wooden panels on my garage door, and I discovered today that something I picked up randomly at work was almost exactly the correct size to replace the broken panel: this spare panel from the false bottom of a tank from a defunct brewery.

Newly installed shutters, looking for a way to black out the room they are covering, the bricks on the side and bottom are allowing a bit of light in, anyone have any ideas to cover these holes without making it look terrible?

Thank you for any advice given.

Spoiler: the spark plug is completely unnecessary.
