Installed a video doorbell camera and now my chime is doing this. Anybody one know what is going on? I had already replaced the transformer and old doorbell was working fine so I know it’s not an issue with power.
Michigan home built in the 70’s. I’m painting soon, so I removed the wood trim around our fireplace brick wall.
On the right side, between the exterior wall and the brick, there is fiberglass insulation sticking out.
At the top abutting the ceiling, it looks pretty ragged.
The left is the cleanest looking, but there is a gap behind the brick between the back wall and the brick and mortar.
Seeking advice for what to do for each from sealing to tidying.
I think we’ll be putting new trim up, but I’d rather tidy/repair and seal the area where needed first. Thanks very much for all help!
We have a huge gap between the edge of the patio screen door and inner glass door. When we moved in there was a seal but it's starting to crack. I can't find this exact product (maybe it came with the door when previous owners installed it). It's applied via an adhesive. The vinyl strip itself is about 2-1/8 wide, and the adhesive part 1.3cm only. I found some items on Amazon like door draft guards but the adhesive part is too thick. Temperate climate so must survive cold winters up to -20C. Any ideas?
I have a few windows with this part that needs replacing. How do I do this without removing the windows which are fairly new.
I also have a driveway that needs some fixing and I have no idea where to start. I’ve included pictures for suggestions. Thanks!
Someone left a little gas on my asphalt driveway. I applied baking soda to it, let it dry, and tried Dawn dish soap to clean it up. There is now a hole in the asphalt that would be maybe 2”x3” (guessing). My HOA will be displeased, to say the least. What is the best solution, what do I need to fix the hole, with no evidence of the hole when I’m done? I checked it today and it’s all solid in and out of the hole.
How to remove the glass cover from this bathroom light fixture?
Heyy guyz, my sibling was playing cricket in my rooftop with his friends and he hit the water tank, now the tank is leaking, suggest some immediate help, cause if his father gets to know this, he is done 💀💀
Hey folks,
I just bought a house with an irrigation system. I just ran a test of the KD2 controller and it doesn’t look to be working. I’m including a few shots of the controller and nearby valve.
A couple of questions:
Is it possible I need to turn on/repair the valve pictured?
Does the disconnected brown wire have anything to do with the problem? I’m guessing that wouldn’t short circuit the entire system by thought I’d check.
Thanks for any tips!
First time homebuyer and my washing machine has been going crazy after wash cycle can I get any insight on this
My fridge’s water line had pushed up and was leaking water into the LED light. I was able to pop off the front panel and get the line set, but once I snapped it back in, the panel went to this screen. After a bit the screen keeps the function buttons lit, but no longer shows the -88 on each side, etc.
Fridge is still running, has been overnight. I’ve tried numerous button combinations suggested by Claude and GPT to no avail. I’ve also tried tripping the breaker and waiting 10-15mins, etc; still nothing. Curious is anyone has encounter and had luck fixing?
The previous house owners did a shitty job preparing the porch steps. After winter, the section of the porch (see pic) got disintegrated. Who should I call to fix this without wiping out my retirement? (Please don’t say ghostbusters).
Would it be a mason or a general contractor?
What would I need if I were to do it myself?
Hey there,
I just moved into a new place and have a growing list of things to touch up. I’m a newb when it comes to home repairs, so bear with me.
One thing I need ti tackle is re-aligning a bunch of kitchen cabinet doors. Here are a few shots of the problem and hardware.
Any tips on how to get these doors to line up?
Thanks!
Hello, I am hoping someone has some advice on how to go about getting the proper checks and repairs done on this. There is water leaking through my MIL's closet ceiling. It only happens when it rains, so I don't think it's from the AC.
Apparently it's been happening for a while but I am just now finding out about it. The closet is located in a bump out on the side of the house with it's own rafters separate from the rest of the roof, so I am hoping the damage is minimal.
Should I immediately go to a roofer and see if they can make the repair or should I talk to a GC or remediation company in case something more has to be done?
Thanks in advance.
