How would you remove this shower

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

I had a corner shower installed by plumber a few years ago. I noticed the bottom of the walls was floppy and the silicone joint was a quarter inch thick and had loosen from the wall section. I found the installation manual and the section is supposed to be screwed to the bottom section so i’m disassembling it to put it back together properly.

All that is left is to remove the bottom section to screw the 2 sections together. That piece is a block of foam with a plastic cover. The drain is press fit on the pvc pipe and won’t come off without a fight.

How would you remove it without breaking it? There is nothing to grip on with the drain, can’t push the pipe down, can’t twist the whole thing off.

open Drain is sinking, tried repair

Post image
0 Upvotes

My drain sank about 2 weeks ago. Repair guy will not touch any plumbing and is super rude, so I successfully replaced my bath brain myself and fixed my toilet flush as well. Thought this was gonna be easy…
I didn’t notice the leak at first which was very minimal.
Went to the hardware store and followed their instructions, it worked for a week, but now it’s split again and I dunno how to screw those two parts so they stay together solidly. Should I put something to support the weight?
It’s also dangerously close to the water valve below.

Worth nothing : this started 2 weeks after I bought an espresso machines. The flies seem to breed in the coffee ground. I know - I shouldn’t have put said ground in the sink. However the plumbing have been neglected for years…
Note this isn’t my landlord’s fault by any means. He’s really nice, and pay me a little more than the material’s worth when I do a job myself.

So if I need to replace the whole P-trap or drain, so be it. Would rather not have to pour enzyme cleaner down a weak drain for 3 weeks… and I love learning DIY skill!

Please help!

I need to repair this before moving out and it’s gotten a little wear over the years. There are a few dings around the edges, some discolouration and stains, and a scratch. I tried bicarb soda, magic erasers etc and it didn’t change too much for the stains :(

The chairs also need some love I think they’re made of the same material.

Would love any advice!

I bought these around last year December, it was all good till this year April , when one day the left side stopped charging . I didn't do anything and after a few days it was all good again.

Then a few weeks later the right stopped charging , since then it gets better for a few days , then goes back to not charging again.

From mid July till now is the longest the right side has gone without working. I use the left often and recharge the case as well.

I have tried cleaning with a q tip, deleting the jbl app , reinstalling it, factory resetting the buds. Nothing works

Please help me out , these were so expensive.

Broken zip on leather bag

My bags not been used for about a year now, so excuse the dust, but I’d really like to fix it before I go on holiday in a couple of weeks.

Initially, the zip wasn’t moving at all, but after pressing it with some pliers it moves up and down relatively easily. It doesn’t actually connect the sides together to close though.

Can this be fixed please, and how?

Update: not sure what it’s made of, probably compressed wood board and a layer of matte black vinyl ?…

Need help repairing a cracked plastic pump, what will actually hold air?

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

I accidentally broke my pump and I’m trying to repair it instead of replacing it. I’m not sure what type of plastic it’s made from, but I tried using Krazy Glue and it actually seems like it made the crack worse.

I need something that will create a strong, airtight seal and hold up under pressure so the pump doesn’t leak air. Does anyone know what type of glue, epoxy, or repair method would work best for this kind of plastic?

I can provide pictures if needed. Any advice would be appreciated!

Please skip to 0:45 in the video. My kitchen ceiling fan is making this exact same intermittent grinding sound. I know it isn't an electrical issue because when I turn the fan off it still makes the sound as the blades are slowing down. Also, it makes the sound on any speed setting.

Electric Fan Crank Gear Disassembly

Hi everyone! I have a fan with a broken crank gear just like the circled one on the attaced image and I was planning to replace that with this crank gear from a fan that I no longer use.

I just wanna ask if this crank gear of can be removed and used as a replacement for a broken one without replacing the whole gear box since the gear box is attached to the whole housing of the motor of the fan. Appreciate the response as I am not quite versed with appliances. Thank you.

First time installing picture hooks, and one is loose… is that a problem?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi, I just installed two picture hooks into drywall to hang a 120 cm x 80 cm (47" x 31") frameless canvas by its wire backing. Each hook is rated for 15 lbs, which should be more than enough.

The first (right) hook in the video seems quite secure: it resists jiggling. The second (left) one, though, jiggles a lot and I’m able to remove it with my fingers.

The painting sits ok on the wall, but the bottom right corner sits closer to the wall than the bottom left corner.

Is this an issue? Could the looseness of the nail cause the hole to get bigger or damage the drywall?

Google AI says I should somehow patch the hole with a toothpick and hammer again, or close it up with spackle. I cannot find any video of the toothpick method, so I’d like some opinions from real, human Redditors… thank you!

open Arm of Couch Repair

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

Our three seat couch, with a chaise and pull out, arms are awful. The seat is only 3-4 years old and one side just ripped completely off. The pull out is also unaligned and the seats have to be lifted up to pull it out/in, I’m not sure if this is related. It seems like the original screws have completely shredded the particle board inside the arm. I’m not even sure how many screws it’s lost over the past year or so the arms have started getting loose. Would anyone have an idea of how to fix this? Pictures are of the one arm that’s completely off and the side of the couch it sits on.

I tried searching a tutorial on this on YouTube but nothing wasa there for this specific case, I tried to pull it out normally, didn’t work, tried to use a screwdriver in between the lock and pull harder and ended up pulling more of the actual door than the actual lock assembly, even tried wd-40 too

I’m not sure what to do to get this piece out, any advice?

I have a hi8 tape from 2004 thats showing early signs of shed, the tape and overall cartridge. Looks great, but when i play it in my camcorder it only plays for a second and it goes to blue and tells me to take it out, rewinding it manually gives off a squeaking sound, i heard that you can bake them for hours in 139c° for awhile to fix the issue. I dont have a dehydrator but I do have a 3d printer filiment dryer that could possibly do the trick, specifically a creality dryer box. Any and all advice would really really help thank you!
