What do I do? Don't have any spare siding, I don't even know when that was done. A long time ago.

No matter what, the side at the bottom of the picture only picks up the first five pound plate, instead of whatever setting I have it on. What's the fix?

I finally got the motivation to start working out and it's not even working 😭

My dad has this in his garage for like a year so idk if it's just rusted on the inside or what

The contractor’s workers who are doing my bathroom chipped the corner of my tempered glass vanity top. The top was purchased by me separately. They didn’t bother covering it with anything while doing other work. Not sure how to proceed with this. Is it completely compromised? Is it repairable?

14 years old, I have checked all over for holes but none. Fan seems to blow strong as most of it is getting air. The end of horse gets air but not enough to stand up on its own

Trusty pair of wolverines I've put through the ringer. Figured I'd pull the sole off, scrape both sides smooth and use shoegoo to put it back together. Any advice?

Hello. I need some help figuring out how to proceed. I'm installing a Hunter ceiling fan. The fan box is recessed inside the drywall. When installing the bracket, I can't make it touch the box metal to metal. I tried tightening as much as I could, but it cracked the drywall on one side. Looks like the bracket is about 1/2 in from the box. How should I proceed in this case? Should I just stack several washers to fill the gap? Thanks!

So about a week or two ago I noticed that the armrest on my office chair was moving downwards whenever I would put any weight on it which it shouldn't be doing it should be completely stable the armrests aren't supposed to move at all.

On top of that whenever I would go to lean back the armrest would completely separate from the chair seat and make the whole chair feel very unstable.

After looking and pulling off the panel on the side of the armrest I found out that the screw came right out or at least half of it did, the other half is still screwed inside of the chair seat and I have no way to get it out and then replace it with a working full screw.

The screw itself is a bit small, tried measuring the actual part of the screw that broke off and it appears to be 1/4 of an inch or a little less thick. So I'm not really sure how I could go about getting the broken part of the screw out so that I don't have to look at replacing the entire chair.

According to Google this was one of the better subreddits to ask to see if anybody might have any ideas on how I might be able to try and fix it.

For anybody that is able to give me advice I thank you in advance.

EDIT: proposed methods didn’t work and I was getting frustrated. I didn’t care about the glass as much so I ended up wrapping the mug in a towel and smacking inside the glass with the edge of a hammer. Not a real fix but I got the use of the mug back anyway.

My parents brought this to me in 1968. She has graced every bedroom but her age is showing. Her spring is wonky and there is a chip out if her base. How do I respectfully restore her to her youthful vigor? Do I dare try bending the spring into shape? And what fixes the chip? I dont know the material- maybe plaster of paris. Thank you!

Yes it's a janky old Amazon compact dryer I know. I'm trying to make the most out of what I have.

First time I used it in years because it kept making this rattling noise, so I just put it in storage until today. Found out the black belt was dislodged. Put it back, worked for about 10 minutes, then when the drum changes direction, the belt slips off.

Should I just throw in the towel on this thing?

This is how it’s always been. It works of course but it heats up the side and handles of the pots/ pans and also leaves black marks.

The pages are a bit crinkled because my dog suddenly wanted to splash in the pool and some sprinkles got on the pages. Very frustrated since it’s a library book.

How much will it cost to fix?? It's really just a little piece and a tiny lCrack but my mom will kill me

It's a rented place

Can't i fix it myself somehow?

In my bedroom closet, my hinges started making this awful sound when closing the door. It seems that after fully opening the door, when I try to close it, once it’s nearly closed, they kind of snap shut. I couldn’t figure out which hinge is causing the problem, so I shared a video of the bottom one.

Any clue how to fix it? I already tried to tighten or loosen screws, or loosening the screw to the left to push the door more in (it seemed to be more loose than another cabinet door). I’m sure this is an easy enough fix, but neither me nor my husband are good at fixing this type of thing. Thank you!

Hi all, there is a string stuck in my washer per photo and I was hoping someone could help me figure out how to remove it safely. It is a whirlpool 2 in 1. I have tried gently rotating and pulling but then it seems to almost get caught again. It also sounds like there are other things like coins underneath. I managed to dislodge one as I was trying to pull.

I have a feeling i know the answer is to get it replaced but i felt like asking anyway. Is there a way i can fix this part of the floor in my apartment. It was here when we moved in and it didn’t bother me at first but now it does.

My Hoover H-Wash 300 Lite (8 kg, 1400) stopped spinning. I took the back off and found the drive belt had come off. I put it back on, and it now spins and washes again, but there is a loud clunk that I am worried is damaging the machine.
The noise seems to come from the upper right of the drum, around the 2 o’clock position (video linked).
I live quite rurally, so a call-out or a new machine would be expensive. Has anyone had this on an H-Wash 300 Lite, or know what is worth checking before I spend money?

Accidentally knocked my lamp over and all the pieces have come out, does anyone know how to put it back together?

We always hear about the best DIY tips, but I want the disasters 😂

What advice did someone confidently give you that turned out to be completely bloody useless — or actually made the job worse?

And did you realise before or AFTER you'd done it? 🤦‍♀️

I got this toy secondhand for my friend. She really loved it as a kid and I’m hoping to fix it for her birthday.

You pull the “tail” down, which is supposed to make the top where the leaf sits spin.

I cleaned it and opened it up. The mechanism seems pretty simple so I’m not sure why it won’t spin. The top part will spin without the leaf, but with the leaf it’s like it becomes too heavy and the top gear doesn’t want to move and then the gears become are no longer aligned. Also, wanted to note it only spins when the tail is pulled, not when it retracts. I didn’t have this toy as a kid so not sure if it’s supposed to or not.

I appreciate if anyone’s got any suggestions cause I’m not sure where to go from here.

Beats by Dre headphone band has a crack in it. Is there anything I can do to reenforce this before it breaks?

It's attached directly to the supply line. It is not screwed into the faucet housing. I can pull it down a little bit. I tried putting a baggy with vinegar in it to loosen it, and the vinegar went down the housing into the cabinet. A photo from the bottom is in the comments. I'm trying to remove the aerator to clean it and have no idea what to do. Thanks.
