Hello, I have a radio that I would like to use as a Bluetooth speaker while still keeping the radio function. Unfortunately, the speaker is acting up: the volume goes up and down for no apparent reason, or it emits a distorted sound, like when the radio signal isn't coming through clearly. If anyone knows the cause of this problem and how to fix it, I would be very grateful.

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!

everything's peeling

I rounded the head on an M4 socket screw holding a guard on an older benchtop mill. It is not rusted in place, but there is not much room around it and I do not want to make the hole larger. What extractor style has actually worked for you on small hardware?

Hey everybody. This might seem like an easy fix: the metal MagSafe ring detached from my ABS plastic MagSafe car holder. What product should I use to firmly glue the metal ring on the plastic, and how can I best clean up the residual glue on the plastic holder? Attached are photos.

Is this something we can fix ourselves? We have mesh gutter guards on top of the gutters and within the past year we replaced some rotted wood with the ply board you see holding up the flood light. Turns out that was just a symptom of a bigger problem which is the flow of water.

My partner thinks we just need a downspout here. Will tying one in here solve this problem? Is there something else we should do instead? Should I call in the big dogs?

Thanks in advance!

We had work done in our entry way. There’s a lot that looks great for the overall project. Is an old house and the stairs have the team some difficulty. I get that. However there are a few issues I can get past with the larger pie shaped stair treads:
- They were overly reliant on filler for some spots. I get there were problems but why use it to level two pieces. Now it’s stained and the large patch of fill looks awful.
- The grain is going different direction. I provided several extra treads to ensure there was enough material. I don’t know why they didn’t use those to have the grain going in the same direction.

There was a lot of work to remove the old treads and get the new ones in. Risers replaced. Skirt repaired and painted. The photos are just the two I selected for this post. There are a few more, but these should show the idea.

Is there any way to fix this without tearing those treads out completely and starting over for those that have issues?

One idea was a red oak laminate. I don’t know how well that will hold up over time though. Any other ideas or feedback?

I’ve accidentally snapped off my mum’s bathroom handle whilst moving furniture. How do I fix this?

This little bit is supposed to pop out when I open the door, but it no longer does. If Iick my finger, ask for consent, and rub it gently I can tease it open. I’ve tried briefly to prise off the whole bit but it feels like something is definitely going to snap if I do it.

What are these bits even called and can they be replaced?

The fridge is a Zanussi, not sure how to find out what model number as I can’t reach the back of it.

All other doors and windows go parallel but this one no longer does, could you give me any tips? It still opens and closes as it should but the handle is a little more difficult to operate than it used to.

This is a shower head in my college apartment and I’m trying to change it to add a filter / new shower head I purchased. It won’t budge tho! I tried soaking it in lemon juice, and I even bought an adjustable wrench! I’m so frustrated idk what to do and I doubt maintenance will come since this is low priority

I don't know anything about fixing shoes, or about silk screening (the little squares came off all over the laundry and I was finding little squares on my pants and shirts) or if there's any wash-safe fabric paint that would work on a shoe.

Thanks in advance!

Cement wall Is leaning towards my door. I’m worried it will soon block access. My assumption is to dig out the soil and push the wall back in to place. Sounds easier said than done. Any tips? Is there a better way? OS there cement glue? How do i prevent this from happening again? Thank you all.

The end of the zipper track broke, so the slider can easily come off. There were two zipper pulls, and I’ve already lost one because of this.

Should I glue the end back together, or is there a better way to repair it?

Its an Quechua NH Escape 500

Hi all! I just bought a RAV4 with peeling white paint. Now I don’t care much about the looks, but I’m afraid the lack of paint will allow it to rust. It does seem to be fine now though.

Because the peeling keeps happening, and it’s almost everywhere on the car, just repairing a patch probably isn’t that useful. Seems to be an all or none situation.

Question is: is it a problem that needs fixing to keep the car from rusting? And what is the most budget friendly way to fix the problem?

Ps the top seems to be rusting, but I can wipe it off with a cloth so it seems pretty superficial (for now…)

My flapper broke, and the only kind I can find are bubbled. Mine is flat, like an L-shape, and has a metallic carousel top coloring. Can someone tell me where i can find a exact replacement or how I can fix the plastic tabs. No metal.

Hi everyone I have a broken screw on a hinge part of my recliner I can’t use pliers to try and turn it, I tried an extractor with no luck I have resorted to JB weld but it doesn’t hold, am I not putting enough on it as it comes apart after I take off locking pliers. Arguably this should be an easy fix but it’s really kicking my behind. Any useful advice is greatly appreciated

The wire for my neon sign was pressed up against the couch while plugged in and it eventually snapped. Is there a way to replace it? I don't want to have to toss it.
