I got a fake leather jacket from the thrift store yesterday and it had some minor wearing on the shoulders but nothing too bad so I bought it. I take it home and wear it once today and it is completely ruined. Everywhere is peeling or beginning to and there are bald spots on the sleeves. I was thinking of just cutting the sleeves off but the rest of it is starting to peel too. I doubt this is fixable but I’m still stuck on what to do. I don’t know if value village will take back a product if it’s been damaged after buying and honestly who would even buy it once they put it back on the rack? But it was $20 and that is a decent amount to me and I’d hate for it to just go to waste.

For added context I gave it a liberal amount of glue and the piece that broke off was one single solid piece. Will this hold up over time or am I just gonna break it off again sooner rather than later?

my friend gave me this monitor cuz i don’t have any at that moment, and yesterday i turned it on and connected it to my pc. 15 minutes later i started noticing these breakcore-ish stripes. now i was trying to find a solution, and it started to look much much worse. well, it is looking worse with each passing minute. it wasn’t broken when i just plugged it in, but maybe cold did this thing (i couldn't transport it to my house any other way than with buses)

monitor samsung syncmaster 720n (mj17vs)

is there anything i can do?

Hey everyone,

I just bought a new hose and I'm having trouble with my first install. It's spraying water directly out of the connection joint.

My setup:

• Valve: 3-way T-valve (3/8" size) male (link)

• Adapter: ABA Beul 15007.215.2 Hexagonal Reducer 1/2 Inch (male) x 3/8 Inch Brass (female) (link)

• Hose: 1/2" female hose (brand new, and the internal rubber washer is definitely inside the coupling) (link)

Despite the washer being in place, it just isn't sealing properly and leaks under pressure. Am I missing something? Did I bought the wrong adapter or a bad hose?

Update: Adding double washer to the too short adapter works, as some people suggested. Thanks everyone! Really appreciate your taking time to answer and thinking of a solution!

He is gonna unalive me :(

I have the entire piece that broke off whole and yes it was my fault

Tried to add some cushion where the fan sits, not sure if there's more I can do or position differently? Add more foam?

Thanks.

Bottom Hinge won’t allow me to shut it, I’ve put in new longer screws and filled the holes with wood chips. Should I get a new hinge? (Keeps ripping the door screws out)

This is our first apartment and an accident occurred where I got drunk and broke the window bc I forgot my keys inside . It was 3 am . While I broke the window some glass flew and slashed both my arms but that’s besides to point . My bf is telling me he can replace it and pay for it himself or if we should tell the apartments and risk eviction and bad credit score on my bf account . (I was homeless before we found this apt and don’t want to go back bc of a drunk mistake , I just thought this was the fastest route ) . Please no judgment just legitimate advice

Just bought it today, first one i got was broken so this is the replacement. I've never used one before and I find it odd to get two duds in the same day. What am I doing wrong?

I created a sandpit in the space beneath our kids’ playground by digging and inserting a plastic kiddy pool, covering it with tarp, then adding 600 lbs of sand on top. What’s a cheap, weatherproof (or weatherproof-able) material I can nail to the inside of the playground’s wood frame to keep some of the sand in and hide the ugly blue tarp? Cedar lumber panels are pretty expensive. I’ve looked into hardy and vinyl decking as well. I think wood or faux wood would look the nicest, but I’m open to any suggestions.

Area I need to cover for reference: (x2.5 sides) Total dimension of one side: 27 x 68 in Dimensions inside one ‘square’ 19.5 x 30.25 in.

it’s my first time buying something like this, got a bullet vibe from spencer’s, and put 2 new batteries in but it wouldn’t turn on. tried every orientation for the batteries, tried some other ones, but still nothing. looking at the support page on the website, i saw that usually there’s a little white tab you have to pull out so it fully turns on, but i never saw one when i opened the package. is it user error, do i need new batteries, or did i just buy a dud 😭🙏

NOTE: i also am not able to get new batteries rn it’s like midnight

2.5 years ago we got this TV unit rated at 50kg weight tolerance. It has a central leg in the middle that attaches at the midway depth of the unit.

https://www.therange.co.uk/furniture/living-room-furniture/tv-units-and-tv-stands/tv-units/fiona-modern-tv-stand-with-storage

Our TV is 18.5 kg (including stand). The consoles maybe total to 10kg. Games 5kg at most. PC 7kg. Soundbar 3kg.

The main sagging points are above the switch at the left side of the TV, the bottom side same place.

How can I go about sealing this off without it looking hideous and preventing water from going into my cabinets underneath?

Can anyone lead me in the right direction to fix or replace this. I'm a total beginner. My mother tried to glue it back together.

I'm up for replacing the whole thing or just removing it to have a blank tile there.

I have a crush on the handyman that services the apartment complex I live in. When I saw my sink was clogged, I got excited that he'd be the one to fix it.

Long story short, the management company will not allow him to come to fix anything plumbing or electrical (maybe since he is not a plumber or electrician).

He does everything else though. What small thing can I tamper with? I'm not looking to do major damage here, but just a reason for him to come fix something. I don't know what. I have:

- a heater (just recently fixed by someone else)

- an AC (which I don't use right now since it's cold)

- I have no dish washer

Thank you everybody!!
