was tightening the screw into my gaming laptop after repasting, screw snapped and i cant get it out, what could i do, i have very minimal tools. would supergluing a screw driver into hole work?

My destructo dog broke through the screen door of my apartment balcony. How do I fix it? It looks pretty cleanly separated from the seam, but I've never done it before. Any tips?

I bought this at a Marshalls. Juicy brand. Within 1 month it stopped working. I have replacement batteries but I can't for the life of my figure out how to open the back to put em in. There's a very slight indent thingy on the circle on back, I tried to get a picture of it (second pic, my nail is pointing toward it) Can't lift it. Help???

I bathe my toddler in the laundry sink (no bathtub in this house!) but he's recently noticed the mixer tap and now it's a constant battle to stop him grabbing it and accidentally turning it all the way to scalding.

I've tried looking at 'toddler proofing' attachments but I can't seem to find anything that will still allow me to set the tap to warm. Is there a way for me to restrict how far the tap turns so that my sticky-fingered toddler can avoid burning himself?

EDIT To respond to some common questions: - water heaters in my area must be set to a minimum temperature of 60degC to prevent growth of Legionella. This is a legal requirement. - we're after a solution that will allow us to keep the tap running during shower/bathtime - I think the easiest solution is to use a couple of zip ties to limit the range of the tap for now, and then get a mixing valve installed at this outlet. - kid is never unattended in the bath. Even if I'm there the whole time, it's pretty easy for a toddler to knock the tap the wrong way without any prior warning. Often it's an accident and I flick it back like 1-2 seconds later, but that's enough time for the water to become uncomfortably hot for the little one.

Thanks for all the help!

My kitchen drawer is jammed. We have an induction cook top above it and a metal bar seems to have fallen. Not sure how this happened. We were able to open the drawer slightly and take things out but now it is barely opening. I can’t get a spatula or anything in. Apologies for the bad photos, hopefully you can understand what I mean. It seems as thought the bar (which isn’t mentioned in the manual for the cooktop) is pushing the side of the drawer out. I have taken the drawer below out (doesn’t help) and I don’t think the front of the drawer comes off.

I found this Lovely Rita shelf by Kartell (1996) at a thrift store. It did not come with hardware, and is discontinued so I cannot get a replacement hardware kit.

I found an old instruction booklet that lists what would have come in the hardware kit, but I am having trouble finding them at the hardware store. Any advice on how I can hang it up/what to buy that would work for this?

Just bought this Klarstein MKS-10 mini fridge. You can change the direction at which the door opens but the instructions (picture 3) are frustratingly vague.

You can see in the first picture that the bottom hinge wasn’t anything weird, just three screws and the hinge itself. I can’t figure out the top hinge though, and I’m scared it’ll break if I pull on it too hard.

Last picture shows the other side where I supposedly could put the top hinge. Included this in case it’d help someone realize how this thing works.

Any idea how to get the top hinge off? Thanks!

UPDATE:

Thanks, everyone. I managed to get the plastic cover off and my fridge now opens the other way! Someone suggested a flat-head screwdriver but I couldn’t get one in at any angle, unfortunately. I resorted to pliers which got the edges of the plastic piece looking kinda ugly, but oh well, it worked.

Thank you!

It’s wrong and driving me crazy.

The mist is not coming out it only lights up. Tried changing the batteries and the bottle is not empty. Whats the issue here?

To get the skin off an acorn squash!

What's the appropriate temperature and procedure to wrap a box like phonebox.

I’ve got a 90s house with fiberglass electrical boxes. All of the screw holes are deteriorated and no longer holding my fixtures. How do I go about repairing these. I can’t find a product for this specific issue on a brick house. I’ve tried using a slightly larger screw and it cracked the screw holes open. They are very brittle.

I recently had to take my cat through the TSA line and, while holding him, he got a little nervous and started using claws to climb on me and snagged one of my favorite hoodies.

I've read other "how to" snagging posts, but this is slightly different, since it's a patch that's been embroidered onto the sweater cloth.

Any insights appreciated (and obligatory cat pic included)

My wife hung the hose like this, and it gave up. This is a Stanley Fatmax, and I would like to know if it can be fixed, like cutting the damaged part and putting a new connector for the nozzle.

Or is this one toasted, and I should get a new hose?

Cat managed to pull some loose threads on my couch, which I admittedly took too long to fix and now it looks like this. How can I go about repairing it?

I've acquired an old trunk from someone & it was previously owned by their mother. She applied wallpaper to the inside that is now falling out. What's the best way I could turn the old wallpaper into bookmarks for the person who gave it to me?

I've already begun "washing" small strips of the paper to figure out how to get the remaining decades worth of grime & adhesive off

I keep telling my roommate that my bathroom is off limits and they say they understand but I know for a fact they use it anyway from the smell. They have their own bathroom but they use mine anyway when their girlfriend is over.

I can obviously install a lock that locks it from the outside, but that would mean that I'd have to constantly keep locking and unlocking it even when I'm home (My bathroom is downstairs and so is his bathroom).

Is there a way I can have an alarm go off when someone opens my door and it's not me opening it? If he knows I can hear the door being opened I'm sure he'll stop going in there.

And yes I'm moving out when my lease is up but that's far away.

I replaced the Silcock three times in the last five years. The last few years over the winter I shut down water too it and put a cover over it. I have it connected to a timer and leave it on during the summer, does this maybe have something to do with it? It feels like I replace it and by the end of the season the next year it’s leaking again

HOW… do I get this leftover glue or adhesive off my car? It came from decals when I removed them and I’ve got some off with a q tip and hot soapy water but it’s taking forever. I’ve also tried alcohol but don’t wanna mess up the paint and it barely works anyway.

Hi! I've broken the handle on my window and I'm wondering if this is an easy fix. Could I find a replacement and fit it myself, even with very little DIY experience, or is it better to call a handyman?
The only marking I can find on the handle is something like R2037, and there's no brand name anywhere. I'm in the UK, in case that helps. Photos attached. Thanks!

Before starting, I want to specify that this is a vintage item. I do not trust sending this to someone to have them put it in a kiln.

I purchased a gold reflective ceramic item that has scratches and areas where the gold finish is missing. Is there any way to restore the original finish at home?
To clarify, I’m looking for an actual mirror-like, chrome-level reflective finish, not ordinary metallic gold paint, glittery gold, or a satin or shiny gold coating. I want a smooth surface that reflects images like a mirror, similar to gold chrome or mirror-finish gold plating.
I don’t have access to a kiln, so I need a DIY method that can be done at home without firing the ceramic or sending it to a professional.
Is there any product, coating, or process that can achieve a true mirror-like gold chrome finish on ceramic? I’m open to different techniques, but I specifically need something that produces actual mirror-like reflections rather than simply looking metallic or gold-colored.

Looking for advice on how to remove both of these plugs from the cover plate

Should switch go to bypass and if so, do I still need to turn supply valve off and drain a faucet on output side? First time well pump owner😀. Thanks

I just came in a new apartment, and I found that the freezer handle is damaged (one of the two clips is missing) so the freezer won't close by itself. I bought the spare part; there is a handle inside (cannot take a pic, but it is this one. I was not able to find a tutorial for this. How am I supposed to replace the piece?
