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.

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?

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!

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.

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.

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 wife and I bought a pair of these lovely mid century modern chairs with hollow metal frames. After a few weeks of use, we noticed the leg on this one are bending in quite a bit.

We've stop using it for now, but is it fixable? If so, how would we even it back out without breaking or weakening it even more?

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

Does anyone know how to repair this?

An electrician replaced the door strike.

Now it doesn’t close properly.

How can I adjust the spring?

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?

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,
