I need your help Reddit. I bought some nice looking ceiling tiles to replace those awful office/old hospital ones for our basement bedroom here in Michigan. The problem is I have several sections that are not full 2×4 sections and since these new tiles have a decorative design, how can I fill in these smaller sections? TIA

Hi guys, I really need yours help with my car. My tC was being crashed by someone’s backup. And it looks like the AC still have the win but it’s not cold/hot anymore. There might be a leak in the AC system. One of the light have been broken. Please give me some advice about what I have to check. Currently broke so I don’t hvae money for shop. Thanks ya all.

Hi all.

What would be the best way to fix this crack? This is a part of a screen and this crack is where the hinge is. There are no replacement parts unfortunately. so the only solutions is to reinforce this and fix it.

A kind redditor said this abs+pc plastic.

It just randomly detached from the frame while wearing. Can this still be fixed?

So my big dumb ogre self recently forgot how low the ceiling arms are in my girlfriends studio and completely snapped the arm off of her ceiling fan and am in desperate need of finding a replacement fan blade arm. I’ve looked everywhere including Lowe’s and Home Depot and all over the internet until I found the manufacturer sticker on the fan and called them just to realize it’s a discontinued model. I’ve managed to find a couple that resemble it on Facebook but no one is responding. Does anyone here know where I may be able to source one? Closest information I could find is it’s a harbor breeze tulip style fan blade arm. The last picture is the only thing close to a serial number I could find.

Can this be fixed? I know it's a long shot! It's a water fountain, so will be under water 24/7. Also must be food safe. I have learned a little about Kintsugi, but Google says it's not good for constant water.

I attached pics of the broken large basin, and a screenshot of the whole thing when new.

I tried to post this earlier but had a link in, and I’m pretty sure I couldn’t post because Reddit thought I was promoting the link (to the fan.) This question is about a 36 inch exhaust fan and I had an example, but the brand doesn’t really matter in terms of the answer.

Hi Reddit,

We recently bought a home with a large (20 x 15) deck. We have a moisture problem in our crawl space, and this is causing a bug problem.

I strongly suspect that a lot of the moisture problem is because of the deck, and that also seems to be bug heaven (the deck.)

We’ve gotten some crawl space mitigation done by a professional contractor and also have a professional pest control company treating, but we need to fix the root problem obviously. I can’t really find a Reddit opinion or much information online, but I wanted to see if anyone has any thoughts about exhaust fan install (by a professional electrician) to help mitigate some of the deck moisture.

The sellers had no lattice or anything else on the edges of the deck, and I let the deck guy talk me into deck boards (which basically sealed the deck, yes I regret it and yes I immediately realized that was a dumb choice THE MOMENT THEY FINISHED but I had 7 contractors here all at once and took their suggestion despite having wanted something else.) The moisture problem pre-dates us, though (termite-moisture inspection noted too much moisture but fortunately no termites or mold/fungus.)

I was thinking about this fan, is this a reasonable idea to mitigate the deck issue?

I accidentally spilled water on receiver. I was trying to open the pannel to clean it with cotton swabs and isopropyl alcohol.

But on the screws on the left side aren't coming out. All three screws keep rotating. It even keeps rotating when I try to tighten it. Seems like some special screws. I am not able to find any help online.

A bunch of water got in during a rainstorm. Fixed the window issue itself (hopefully). Besides some paint, how to fix the splitting wood?

Hey guys,

I’m trying to install a seat bidet and can’t get this hose unscrewed, I try to hold the metal part of the hose with a plier while I use a wrench on the bolt but as the bolt turns, so does the hose and I can’t seem to stop it… The hole gets twisted too much that I can’t keep unscrewing

Edit: I meant to say nut thank you for the clarification, this is an older building downtown I moved into yesterday, I can’t twist the top part for the life of me trying several times, since you all say I need a new hose I will just buy one and hope building maintenance will come by with better tools and reconnect the hose with the bidet hose in between

Thank you guys

You can see the black plastic stick. That's the pendulum. There's a little white circle which I assume is a magnet maybe. I inherited this clock from my grandma. No idea when the last time the pendulum worked was.

I just got this dresser off Facebook Marketplace and the seller believes this spot is from split nail polish remover. Any ideas on fixing? I’d rather not have to sand the whole top if possible.

I replaced all filters in a 5 stage undersink RO system and this fell off. I don’t know where. Any idea? Thanks.

The system is working fine no leak though.

My backlight of my tv started flickering, tried to search online but couldn’t find anything similir. Maybe it is not described as flickering idk. What might be the cause and how to solve this?

Model: Samsung UE75AU9000UX

This message keeps popping up and I can't do anything to fix it . The brand is a roenllce pos-9220. PLS HELP

Wife set it down in her own chewing gum while commuting to work. Accountability not as important as a solution. Any suggestions are welcome. Thinking isopropyl alcohol, but wanted to consult the masses before making a mistake. Thanks in advance🙏 !

Anyone know where to find a replacement door with this style of door?

So my dog really F'up 2 of my doors. I don't want to just make it passable since this is a rental. I really wanna fix it as much as possible. I was thinking of just using some light sandpaper to smooth them in and then try with walnuts first see what the hype is all about. If that fails I get one of these pens from amazon maybe? What do y'all think??? Any experts who went through similar damage?

Picked up a place with a pocket door between the kitchen and dining room. The thing derails every third or fourth use slide it open and the bottom roller pops off the track. The track looks original, probably 40 years old, with visible rust and a section that's slightly bent near the back of the pocket. The door is solid wood, not hollow core, so it has some weight to it.

I've already reseated the roller twice. It holds for a few days then does it again. The top hangers seem fine, no obvious wobble, but I haven't pulled the door completely to inspect the roller hardware up close. Could be the roller is just worn out, could be the bent track section is the real culprit, could be both

Replacing the hardware on an alreadyinstalled pocket door is an annoying job because you have to work around whatever the last guy did with the framing. Getting to the track without gutting the wall is the part I'm not sure about on this one

The other option is closing it off permanently. It's a flip, buyers don't expect a pocket door there, and the opening could work as a passthrough if I trim it out right. Probably faster. But if the fix is just new rollers and a track section, I'd rather keep it functional

This is a Hampton Bay ceiling fan, it sucks, I don't own this house though and it's just not worth getting the landlord involved. I read online that these are made impossible to grease the motor on but I'm wondering if there are any secrets anyone can tell me. I run this thing nearly nonstop even in winter because I run hot so it's very inconvenient to not be able to use this but the squeaking is that bad. I'm a little bit handy, like can change cartridges on faucets and change all the components to a toilet, and fix little things here and there. What kind of options do I have?

Bought this first piece of furniture as married couple in summer 2025. The built is super sturdy, but stitches are giving up. Would appreciate any suggestions on repairs and amends!

Poured hot water down a bathroom sink drain to help unclog and heard a big bang and found under the sink has cracked. Wondering if I can seal this with epoxy or doesn’t it need replaced. It’s dripping water when I let water run.
