Is this a job for an electrician, a networking tech or a small contractor?

I inherited this in my garage then added my own wireless extender to it. The cover obviously won’t go back on with it like this.

What is this housing called? And who would be the right person to clean it up? A networking technician, electrician or someone else? Can I do this myself?Should I?

What can live in here and what needs airflow and shouldn’t be behind a closed cover?

LG ThinQ washer d95 error

The error indicates a 95% duct blockage.

I called a vent tech out to blow out the exterior vent and check the aluminum foil duct. Very little came out of the vent outside the house and the inside of the pipe work was pretty clean.

LG said they only recommend rigid or semi-rigid pipes with as few turns as possible.

Any recommendations on next steps?

Outdoor bib is tight

I have a hose attached to this outdoor faucet but it is almost impossible to turn. It takes a lot of effort to even turn it 1/8 to open or close it. Is it easy to replace the stem rod, or is it something else? It is not leaking.

Installing a bidet on Flowtite valve?

I want to install a Brondell Swash CL1500 bidet on my Toto toilet.

All of the toilets in my house have these Flowtite push-pull valves that go into the base of the toilet, accessible by screwing off the tank.

How easy is it to replace the valve with a braided steel hose and a quarter-turn shut-off so that I can attach my bidet hose to it?

Is it even possible with this kind of toilet?

Can I/should I do it with the CPVC pipe, or would they need to be copper?

Any ideas?

I just moved into a new house. There is an existing Verizon box and a lot of loose cables. A couple have a jack on the end.

This box is in the garage and I plugged the router into it. The WiFi works and I connected on my phone. But the house has three floors above this and the connection is spotty at best.

Question is, do I need to get some kind of extender, or what is the play here?

I see outlets in many of the rooms but I don’t know if they are for Ethernet cables or something else.

Photos of the box and a few of the jacks are attached.
