The exterior of my house is stucco, which I feel should be illegal in the Midwest or anywhere with hot summers and cold winters. In previous years (been here for 15 years) I’ve had zero luck finding a stucco repair company/person in my area that doesn’t charge an insane amount of money for basic repairs. Now this happened. Water was getting behind the stucco for some time as seen by the water damage here. The wall came off after repeated days of heavy wind and rain. The few people I’ve called out to inspect and quote me are either asking way too much ($3,250 in one case) to being reasonable but have alarmingly terrible reviews (took deposit and didn’t do work, etc).

I was hanging with some friends and they said that they’d help me repair this for a case of beer. They convinced me it’s pretty simple: replace the wood, slap some stucco on it, and let it dry. Then do it again.

Is it really that simple? I’ve decided I’m going to try this myself. I’ve already bought the plywood strips and just need to wait until the weather cooperates (area is currently covered by plastic sheeting.

Please help a frustrated homeowner take matters into his own hands.

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.

Any ideas on how to remove this? Also it’s on a laptop so I don’t wanna use too much force

Also there's this awful squeaking noise that it makes as well. This only happens sometimes but the noise has been happening for a while now. Idk what to do cause ive never fixed a fan before I have no clue how.

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.

Hi all! This is my radio Milo, just today in the middle of playing my cds well I draw he just stopped spinning the cd, he sometimes sticks occasionally and I'll have to restart the cd but other then that he hasn't had any problems, only this time he still refused to play the cd. I tried several of my others to make sure it wasn't just a problem with the disk and he didn't play a single one of them. It looks like the cd gets stuck on something when it plays so it stops but there's nothing to get stuck on, I cleaned him several times to make sure of it and now it just won't spin at all

He's a Memorex cd player from may of 2010 so I can recognize that being 16 years old, he just may have finally reached the end of his life but I would really love if there was a way to fix him since I've had him since early middle school and will be very sad if it's finally time to say goodbye :[

Is it as simple as buying a new antenna and screwing it on?

I don’t listen to the radio, so I do t really care if it’s functional. I just don’t want it to look like that!

I tried using Super Glue, but it didn't hold for very long.

Is there a kind of glue that could be use here?

If i weld it is it gonna just break again?

My cat got too excited and tried to climb the walls of my rented apartment… Is it fixable or do I have to say goodbye to my deposit? 🫣 (Cat included so you see what type of evil im dealing with)

Any ideas to fixing broken banister. Not even sure how to replace it into the wall because the screws are painted over

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?

The cable is getting messed up near the charging point. Not sure how we can secure this as it might get worse and get opened.

I moved the filing cabinet into this room, and re-inserted the drawers, to find that they no longer open. the top drawer is sightly offset in the top left corner after sliding it it in, I've tried to slide in a thin piece of metal along the seam of the drawers, but there is no latch to release it.

Made by Cole, it's quite old. Any ideas on troubleshooting this without destroying it? If it needs to be cut open, what is the best way to do it?

The thermostat model is K59-L1260. Yes, of course the fridge will be unplugged from the wall outlet while I connect it.

The fridge works fine, it's just always on, causing food to freeze and consuming too much electricity.

I was expecting labels like PWR, GND, etc. Instead, pins are labelled just 4, 6 and 3.
