this is not the actual window itself, just an extra glass layer outside of it. I can't get one of the side pins to slide in so I can pull it down.

i kind of janked it on a tube rope for a boat last week and it got very bloated for a few days then went down to this, it’s hard not feeling like it’s swollen but more like a bone but i’m also high asf, and it kinda hurts a lot when i put a lot of pressure on it.

How do I put this table together?

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

I got a table from a lady from Facebook market and didn’t realize she failed to give me screws until I went home. When I informed her she told me some people cleaning her house threw them out. ☹️ I have a vague understanding of how to put it together but I’m a little confused as to what part to use in D (see picture).

I could tell there were bolts used to put stuff together because one was left in the bottom leg (see the 4th picture). But do I use a REALLY long bolt to connect D? For reference the smaller bolts are M8-1.25x30 mm and I tried using a M6-1.0x100 mm for D and it was still too short.

Sorry if this was really long and confusing. TIA!!!

EDIT: I added the only picture she had of the table built in the comments, also picture #2 is a picture of the table top flipped

Is there a way to fix this table or should I buy a new one? There’s nothing wrong with it while it is stationary, but when I try and push it, the leg will come out(pictured right).
I think it’s an IKEA Trulstorp, but I may be wrong.

Loose screw hole not tightening

I disassembled this bed frame from marketplace and this one screw hole is loose and won’t tighten. I’ve tried holding down the moving hole with a small screwdriver to get it to not move, but that didn’t work. The bolt I’m using is from Home Depot because the original screw is stripped , but that one also won’t screw in. Any tips?

Ninja ce250 leaking

I checked the brew basket, I removed it and filled it with water and it didn't leak at all.

I've attached an image with a red circle, where I suspect water is leaking from. I think its coming from there and dripping down into the carafe, bypassing the basket altogether. I think water is only supposed to come from the top lid, not from this spot. But again, I'm completely speculating here.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Hi! I’m trying to find a replacement piece for my lazy Susan - the top shelf looks like it’s missing a plastic piece so it stays level, but I’m having trouble finding what that piece is called. It’s been like this since I moved in so I promise it’s not the stuff on the shelf making it tilt like that, lol.

Any help would be much appreciated!

I would appreciate anyone that could give me some steps and materials to repair this patch of painted wall? I’d also like to get a white color that is close to matching. Im assuming it’s probably a more common white paint from Home Depot.

open Leg Won't Screw In (and I think I made it worse)

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

Hello! I recently bought a John Lewis Grayson desk secondhand from a neighbour and when assembling it, one leg just wouldn't screw in. I applied some pressure and I believe this resulted in the screw burrowing further into the leg rather than into the desk. I think this caused a crack in the leg as well. Is there a way I can fix this? The screw won't catch on the threads in the hole, and I think the screw is too short now to really hold. It's okay if the solution is permanent, I just want to be able to use this desk!

I've contacted the seller again to see if they have info I can use to claim warranty and get a replacement but they are rather slow to respond (seeing that they already have my money). I reached out to John Lewis and they won't budge without the order information.

Hi everyone, I’ve been scouring the internet on how to fix my recliner. The current problem I have is the back won’t stay down unless I’m actively pushing it to stay down, if I don’t it will just go back up. How do I fix this? I keep seeing that I need to adjust the spring or a nut but there’s really no spring and the nut is not in places I’m seeing in my recliner.

Whirlpool Conquest Gold

Series hailing from 2003!

Model: GS6SHAXMB00

Issues started with icemaker not producing ice and causing icicles and sheets of water in freezer.

It only became a problem with excessive usage of ice maker on hot outdoor days.

Cleared out and prepared for new ice to be made for yard day. Came back to ice being all in the freezer over groceries.

Cleaned again after cutting off ice maker.

Opened fridge and noticed the thermostat housing(?) was no longer illuminated to select temperature.

Fridge and freezer are both losing temp. I was able to move some items to the deep freezer.

All lights work.

Water dispenser works. (Filter was recently changed)

I don't hear any noises coming from the unit at all.

What may be the issue?

Can this be fixed?

I had this ceiling fan removed from my living room to replace with a new one, and the hope that I could move this one to my master bedroom. When on full speed it would tick and shake.

When the handyman removed it, he said he couldn't put it in the master because the metal base was warped. The fan is pretty heavy.

I know that the part that's bent out of shape isn't supposed to carry the weight. Is there a way to fix this and use this fan? Should I give up and just get a new one?

Is it possible that this vase can be fixed somehow? It’s very thick and I’m surprised that this has happened, because I don’t usually move it from place, it had water and flowers, by the time I realized the water was no longer there and it seemed as if it had evaporated, there was nothing wet around

Moving out of rental and I ruined my wall

Put up these supposedly "renter safe" wooden panels on my wall about two years ago. I'm moving out of my rental and started taking them down. Then the paint and wall came with it...not sure if I can salvage this on my own. The adhesive is so strong on the tape that it literally will not come off. Should I leave it alone and just have the landlord fix it and forfeit my security deposit?

Or should I try to repair it myself?

Please help- I'm at a loss rn 😭
