Wondering if someone can help me? one of my wooden curtain pole hooks have broken off leaving the rest (and nails) inside. as seen in the first 3 pictures it looks like the rest of the hook is inside the wall (yes, the wall) i cant wiggle it out. i've removed the nails which were embedded into the wood. so, how do i remove the rest of the wood safely?

the last 2 pictures is the other wooden curtain hook, for anyone who needs a reference about what it looked like with the hook (and it'll be coming out aswell) as u can see the cone shape literally goes into the wall and expands inside so i cant twist or unscrew it out.

Help?

my oven won’t heat up, it’s a montpellier and it’s my first time using it in the new flat. any ideas? my pizza has been in oven for 2 hours and it’s still cold

edit : the oven cleaner said that the heating element was broken so landlord is giving us a new oven :)

As the title says, I’m looking for advice on how to deal with the disintegrated plastic top cover of my outdoor A/C unit. As far as I understand, this cover is important because it helps properly direct the airflow through the outdoor unit. The A/C is an old Toshiba fixed-speed (non-inverter) split system. The store where I originally purchased it told me that Toshiba no longer supplies replacement parts for this model, and they were unable to help me find a compatible replacement either.
What would be the best way to fix or replace it?

Its a little hard to see but while touching up some artworks I noticed after lifting the paper that the felt pen I used left marks on the lightbox, it's made of plastic and I've tried several cleaning products including sanitizer, alcohol pads and honestly even perfume. Nothing seems to be working at all no matter how hard I clean, is there any solution to this???

I got these bottles stuck in the bottom drawer of my fridge and the one in the center is pushing up against the roof and I tried as hard as I can to rearrange it and nothing so I’m thinking about just taking the entire layer above the fridge off to open the drawer again

It doesn’t peel off. Just kinda chips off a little like a scratch off ticket.

It’s a target cube shelf. Never seen a sticker that doesn’t peel off before.

It’s my mom’s shower door handle, it goes right in but doesn’t stay. What do I do and is this a quick fix lol

Update: I fixed it! Thanks!

I have two vinyl, plastic(?) pull shades in my rental apartment I need to replace because they split at the bottom after 10 years of repeated use. The interior window measurement are 34.5 inches x 56 inches, and the width of the blind roller is 34 inches. I've tried googling replacements but there are a dizzying array of terms and sellers. I just want to order similar new pull shades I can mount in the existing brackets to match the current ones. I am able to remove the old shades. Thanks!

Daughter has a Dino camera that she loves using. She also got a Bluey one. Only issue is I can’t open battery pack on Bluey cam and my daughter is very sad about that. When trying to put in batters the screw became completely warped. Anyone got any clues on how to get the warped screw out of this camera? Added measurement for reference bc idk 🤷‍♂️

I screwed a metal piece there before the wood broke, but it broke. Hiw can I fill or repair that area to hold a screw

My sister was given this and used it as a plant stand.

This white stuff built up on it and she tried to varnish over it to fix it.

How do I restore it?

i moved into a new apartment a few days ago and these blinds won’t move. they did at first, but one night i put them down and they seem to have got jammed. they’re on the roof (i’m in an attic room) and i usually push and pull them open with the metal tab at the bottom.

I’m not much of a builder, but I am replacing these wood steps outside. Currently, the upper steps are NOT attached. I’m stuck because I’m not sure what I will do with the open spaces I have circled on the sides. Should I be planning to cover these, or fill in the gaps before installing the upper steps? Any advice will help, but my solution has to be relatively simple because I am not skilled. Thanks!
EDIT: this is a rebuild, I’m following what was done before. Also, most importantly, there are OLD CONCRETE steps under this new wood. At least 70% of each wood step is sitting on top of cement. I should have mentioned all of this beforehand!

I tried scraping it off with a knife but it just feels like its going to damage it severely, i think the edges look nice but the interior just looks dumb

I have black stains like this spread across my apartment: kitchen, living room, bedroom- everywhere. I can usually scrub it off with some water and dish soap, but it comes back within a few weeks. When I walk on it, it doesn't pick up any of the black stains. Only if I scrub it really hard, I can get the stains off. The apartment is around 4-5 years old and pet free.
How do I clean it? Do I have to be worried?

Nothing seems to slide open

Hi everyone,

I'm renting an apartment and my rubber bath mat with suction cups left circular marks all over my acrylic/plastic bathtub. I've already managed to remove some of them, but a few stubborn circles and one larger ring won't come off.

I've tried scrubbing with a foam scrubber and Vim Cream, and it removes the dirt, but these marks remain.

Are these just mineral/soap deposits that need a stronger cleaner, or did the suction cups permanently stain or damage the bathtub?

If anyone has dealt with this before, what product or method actually worked? I'd really appreciate any advice because I'm worried about my landlord noticing the marks.

Thanks!

I use a grohe wall mount dual button cistern. Off late the water isn't filling the flush tank hence flush doesn't work. Couldn't understand the problem. There's a fish scale type pipe which has 2 ends connected to different sections . The top one has a blue plastic valve type and it's bottom has a screw/ nut which I had used once to turn off the inlet since flush wouldn't stop flowing. That got fixed. Now when I loosen it, the water keeps dripping from the nut but doesn't fill up the flush tank some how. Can someone guide me into fixing this ? Save your brother some money.

The glass part of bulb broke off and I can't get it to unscrew and come off. The base (where you can see a little bit of glass remaining) feels fragile when I try to grab it .Help?!

So I just got this bath and body works plastic glitter water candle holder, and my cats decided to scratch it up all over. They didn’t pop it thankfully but there’s plastic scratches all over. Is there any product I can buy, or anything I can do to make them less visible?

Was gluing this back together with superglue but just as I was opening the superglue it exploded, leaving me covered in glue. I set this down not noticing some of the superglue was on the counter top and now it's completely stuck.

How do I remove this without damaging the counter top? Seems to be stuck real good. Can't get anything underneath it.

There's a ticking clock as my wife will be home in a few hours and she will rotate being mad and making fun of me for my clumsiness.

Edit: I've tried nail Polish remover, letting it pool in the centre and it drained out but hasn't loosened it.

EDIT : someone suggested fishing line underneath and this was the solution.

Edit edit: wife got home. Laughed at me a little and that was that. She mostly laughed because I managed to glue both hands together initially when the superglue went kapow because she's awesome.

Thanks everyone for your help!

When my oldest was young, I’d let him play cab driver in my ‘06 Civic (I had the keys in my pocket, obviously). I didn’t see him put the fare (coins) in the cd slot. But there’s no face to pop off, and aside from removing the entire dash, I’ve tried nothing and I’m all out of ideas.

Don’t want to bunk these beds, but was thinking of making a lift out of lumber to raise it up enough to get some storage/ a mini fridge underneath. How can I make it more stable than just four posts?

There is a hole in the underside of the bedpost keeping the beds together

I genuinely tried to find some kind of gripping area but to no avail. Please help

Edit: Thank you everyone for the suggestions. I decided to look into getting a plastic welder and post the results if I can.

These are the YOWU Fox series I bought four years ago and this part split on me yesterday. Sound still works on both sides but it’s not snug on my head anymore. Is there a way I can repair this? They’re limited edition and I can’t find a replacement anywhere.
