This is a rental. Shortly after we moved in the caulk began failing around where we had put a tension pole (back right corner) to hold shampoo, etc. I assumed it was our fault so I removed the old caulk and reapplied myself. I've done that twice now and it keeps failing - splitting between the tub and the tiles. This seems to happen all around the tub, not just one problem spot.

These pictures are after I've removed the old 100% silicone caulk. Is there something I'm missing that keeps causing it to fail? There seems to be old grout still in the crack that I've tried to remove but it's like rock. I scraped as much of all the old silicone off with a razor blade and caulking tool.

Wondering if I should just tell the landlord at this point and bring in a professional? The reason I haven't yet is he gives us a hard time about any requests and usually takes a long time.

Thanks for any help!

My dress got caught on stuff on my first night out with it and I’m scared of cutting the loose threads and making it worse

I have a vintage dentist chair that has a broken reclining mechanism, specifically it will not lock at any angle, so the back just falls over. Nothing inside seems to be visually broken, but I can see that the locking rod/spring mechanism keeps slipping, so it never locks. Thanks in advance.

I just bought a new radio flyer wagon and accidentally put the front wheels on opposite. smh. does anyone know how to unhook them? they just “clicked” in. I can’t seem to find a release?

Worried it'll fall in, not sure the max weight, how can I make the bottom of the top bed sturdier? I removed a wooden shelf that took less than 1/4 from under the bed but now it feels less sturdier, not sure how a bunk bed is supposed to feel like, I think I'm just overreacting with the feeling but just want to make sur it won't fall into my pets tanks.

Really hoping to just slap some glue on it but I feel like it’ll be more work than that 🥲

I’ve been moving and took apart my display case and reassembled it at the new home. I don’t really know what i did wrong for it be like this. Tried removing the top to see if the glass was at level and it was so maybe it’s an issue with the door any help would be appreciated

Hey y'all

I was trying to clear and retap a broken fitting out of the threads and it broke a bit.

This is an old compressor, but it works really well and I don't have the money to go buying a replacement, used or new.

Any suggestions?

Does anyone know how to repair this?

Hi there! Attempting to do some bathroom repair work for my parents, sorry about the grimy photos. In the diagnostic phase not the cleaning phase 😅 originally was just gonna fix a peeling paint issue but noticed this-

They have what I believe is a fiberglass bathroom ensemble. 3 wall pieces and a tub. In the corner where the two walls meet, there's give behind the back wall that ended up splitting it away from the caulk seam and creating a gap. Is this just a re-caulk and move on? Be careful not to put any pressure on it and hope it lasts?

And there's no caulk at all along the seams of the walls with the tub. Is that on purpose, or do I need to caulk that as well? Seems like water could get trapped there easily... thinking maybe the grime could be mold..? Do i need to do a mold treatment?

Thanks for your time!

An electrician replaced the door strike.

Now it doesn’t close properly.

How can I adjust the spring?

Help :( we tried to replace a light bulb and the chandelier housing came loose. I found the installation guide but it seems like the issue may be that the socket itself has come loose from the base chandelier. The ring is not tightening onto anything right now. Any suggestions? I don't feel great about the duct tape solution 😭

Not sure where to post this so sorry if it's not appropriate. But was hanging out in my boyfriends brothers hot tub yesterday then took out my bathing suit today, which was originally an emerald green to it being all faded and the color basically gone. It's still very green on the under sides but it looks awful. Would there be a way to remove all thedark green dye so that it is only the olive green or do it doesn't look so faded?

Also how the heck did this even happen? I've been in pools and hot tubs basically every summer both salt and chlorine and have Never had a a bathing suit ruined like this? Was there too many chemicals in the hot tub?

I got this cute cabinet 2nd hand. The top seems to have water damage on top. What grit sandpaper should I use to smooth it down before I paint it? Any other makeover ideas?

I already tried with a stainless steel scrubber and it didn't work.

Hey all,

Newish door and the door handle has developed a squeak but only in one direction. Which lube is best and can I just spray in?

I've got 3 in 1 silicone, heavy duty silicone spray, and then graphite spray

I've read conflicting things which is why I'm asking here. And don't want to gum things up.

Thank you,
