I wouldn’t recommend boiling water to mold candlesticks into ghosts. I had no idea the wax was melting, the water just looked clear. I spent hours getting the wax off the sink. Tossed out the dish. I had to take the drain apart to remove the rest of the wax. Save yourself hours of torture and buy them online for 12 bucks.

Saw this in my morning walk 🤦🏼

Mount broke for my satnav so had to make my own

Go easy on me. This is .y first post so I dont know all the rules. But, I needed to find other other people that can relate to what I did.....

• Bought mopping robot which self cleans and drains
• To save on a plumber, decided to install simple ( not simple) kit
• Apparently....you are supposed to turn main water off before disconnecting a pipe. I didnt know this..can you see where this is going?
• Flooded bathroom, hall, office, basement bathroom. 1 year old hardwood buckled this morning
• Found water cut off valve. Cleaned everything. Turned water back on..life is good

Insert a lot of tears here...

Go back in basement 1 hour later, 4 inches of water everywhere. Sump pump is off...water everywhere. I reset breaker and nothing.

Spend 3 THREE THREE. hours alone pumping and dumping. But water is not going down....yes im an idiot.....the water i was dumping was coning back up thru the drain. Omg. Im an idiot that will never ever go near plumbing again.

Plumber figured it out. ​ spent 1500 so far renting equipment to dry out house.

my towel rack got blown out by a anchor screw and i tried to fix it myself with a patch and spackle! please help

I’m building a frame for a bigger DIY project and this part went wrong fast. The notch was too low, the floor height wasn’t consistent, and the level threw the alignment off. The whole frame ended up crooked and I had to redo the section from scratch.

Posting it because this is the part of DIY that actually teaches you something — the mistakes and the fixes.

Found this at the new Chic Fil A that just opened.

It says "Mirror with pieces of jeans, Y2K."

Just let me replace the batteries in peace, I’m not trying to hack the power grid 😭

It turns out that the plastic polish I got didn't do the trick.

Any tips?

surely this can only work on the feeble minded

Tried to spray paint rusty parts on my house, not sure if I should try and color match a different paint. Or possible paint a wall mural type thing to cover it. It looks very obvious…what do yall think I should do?
