I’ve had to put in like 5 different work orders for the dryer in my apartment, and every time I do someone comes and makes one small change and then it still doesn’t work.…

FYI I am a renter: I have lived in this house for two years and I have always been deeply frustrated with the window behind my kitchen sink. The sink is in the corner of the counter and the two windows meet at that corner.…

We finally got the permit to proceed with our detached garage build. It will be a 2.5-sized garage and includes engineering for a drywell to prevent water issues for our neighbors.…

Too bad we are in a cool period (SF Bay). I just finished installing a whole house fan and even though it is cool out and somewhat overcast I can still clearly see that it is working as expected but with a surprise that I've not quite settled on.…

Wondering if anyone may know of a place that sells these old Leviton dimmer lamp switches. I just need to replace one. Lamp turns on but does not dim. submitted by /u/CancelNo3762 [link] [comments]

I found an old archived thread with good advice, but the link to the video I found the most useful was out of date. I found it, so thought I'd share it.…

I’ve exhausted every option, I’ve googled, I’ve looked on here. The shower won’t drain at all and it’s been a week. I’ve tried snaking it, drain-o; a stronger drain-o; baking soda mixture; more snakes; removed the trip lever; tried snaking thru overflow…

If your house is on a concrete slab and you want to add a half bath so that it shares a wall with the existing plumbing of another bathroom, do you have to cut through the slab? submitted by /u/Fast-Examination-595 [link] [comments]

Hi there! Just needed some advice about mouse/mice invasions in your household. Some background context. I live in a townhouse so all the houses in some form or another is connected since it was built in 1975.…

so the past 3 days the toilet when it sits for awhile the water level goes low. But once you flush it it will go back to normal. Why is it going low all of a sudden?…

Estimate for rough in plumbing Looking for some feedback on an estimate we received for a basement bathroom rough in. We're in a mid-low cost of living in the Midwest. House was built in the 60s and has original cast iron drains.…

My bed is beside a cast iron radiator that's roughly 32 inches long. I'd like to put something on top of it that's heat resistant so I can have something that acts as an end table.…

Kitchen door handles were apparently attached with whatever screws were available, and two of them are big fat short screws that might have been cut to fit the hole in the cabin handles, but either way now they just turn around in place when I try to…

Hi all. The vanity top of our spare bathroom has a badly scratched surface. It's some sort of stone-like material (I assume synthetic). Previous owner (bless their heart) used what I can only assume was an angle grinder on this thing.…

We have a formal living room and dining room, both of which we don’t really need or use. Both spaces are on the smaller side and they are both the first two rooms you walk through as you enter our house so they are also high traffic areas, mostly just to…

Bought an EcoFlow last november, 2048Wh capacity. My fridge uses about 1.2kWh/day so I figured I'd get close to 40 hours. Got 19 hours. Put a kill-a-watt on it and found the inverter pulls 22W idle even when the fridge compressor is off.…

Who else considers power-washing one’s house one of the most therapeutic and satisfying tasks ever? I can’t wait to wake up tomorrow and get back to it. submitted by /u/Few-Lab8145 [link] [comments]

Have lived here for almost three years and all the sudden we came under attack in two spots today on our trim. Any ideas as to what might actually work? One spot has about 6 holes and pretty seriously damaged. Surprisingly so.…

I want to replace a fence and our property boundaries haven’t been done since 1912. The owner/landlord of the property next door seems mentally unstable but also very cheap so I don’t think she would challenge us if we just replaced the existing fence and…
