open Seal hole and gap between floor and wall

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

Hi! I’m curious if there is a good way to seal the pictured hole and gap between the floor and wall. The line coming out of the wall will be for a dishwasher the gap will likely need to be able to have some type of expansion due to weight of the dishwasher and thermal changes!

Thank you!

And if this not a home improvement project whom should I call?

open La-Z-Boy rocking recliner, busted Plastic Bearing/Spacer/collar<?>

Found on floor next to 2010 La-Z-Boy Larson Reclina-Way Rocking Recliner (Model #528); Any suggestions where it might normally seat (in undercarriage)?

Part is covered in grease, e.g. to the touch; Appears to be a housing recess around a Right-pivot joint (with plenty of lubricant). Maybe it snapped off around here? <see pics> Otherwise I cannot locate at matched-part (or mechanism) anywhere else on the reclining system.

Does this look familiar to anyone?

fyi: can confirm all four Slide-Wheels [in glide track] are intact.

How could this have happened

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

So me and my roommate got kinda high, noting too crazy we still remember most of what we did. We went to sleep around 4, and when we woke up at 8, the bed was like this. There was no noise, nothing weird about sleeping on the bed, just that metal thingy bent. There’s an intact metal thingy just like this like 2 inches away from it, that hasn’t bent, and all the wooden slats for the bed ladder thing are okay. My roommate thinks it wasn’t always bent, but he’s not 100% sure. We didn’t hear any noise, or anything like that with the bed. How could this have happened and is it possible that it was like that before? If it was like that before how does this even happen.

open Lamp’s arm broken

Hello,

I have this beautiful lamp that suffered delivery.
I’d like to give a try to fix it but I am not sure of my options.
You can see the hollow metal rod where the cable goes broke. The lamp’s head is quite heavy (few hundreds grams I’d say) so tape probably won’t be sufficient.
Did you see similar fix that you could recommend ?
Thank you!

Anyone know what these brown spots might be?

Post image

They started appearing on my basement walls after recent renovations.

It's a brick wall which was treated with bitumen waterproofing, then cement rendered over concrete reinforcing mesh then plaster. It was finished this summer, then temps were in the high 30's outside and never heated when it got colder.

I'm hoping it's not water infiltration but how can I check if it is? And what are some non-invasive solutions?

Sliding mirrored closet doors

1 Upvotes

My mirrored closet doors have come out of the frame. I saw a post saying to unscrew the screw and slide the frame off. These doors don't have screws holding the frame on. The top track has a rubber piece on top that fits into the top track and slides. The bottom track has a metal square piece attached to the thin backing and a smaller metal square piece with a wheel slides into the bigger piece and makes it roll. The piece is tightened to stay on with a screw. It doesn't hold it tightly and I've always had trouble with these doors sliding down making the wheel not glide correctly. I broke the mirror tightening this roller piece and subsequently broke the frame off trying to get it secured.

Microwave is burning food

2 Upvotes

We bought our kitchenaid microwave new 5 years ago. never had any issues with it. Last night we microwaved some frozen tater tots for our kids and noticed smoke coming from the microwave. a single pea sized spot on one of the tater tots was very burned - there were no flames. the tots were about 40 seconds into a 1 minute heating when we cut if off. we decided it was something with the tots. maybe some plastic from the bag stuck on one and we didn't see or some other material. also, we used the same paper plates we've used for years if that helps any analysis.

today we were microwaving some leftover chik-fil-a nuggets from lunch, again on a paper plate. we noticed smoke again coming from the microwave and a single nugget was beginning to burn with a pea sized black spot. these were left over from lunch so there couldn't have been any plastic or packaging stuck to it. my wife set the timer on the nuggets for 16 seconds and took them out after only 8 seconds due to the smoke. so whatever is causing the burning is doing so very quickly.

between these two incidents we'd used the microwave twice with no issue.

im not sure if it's a coincidence or a problem with the microwave - if so what would cause this? its almost like the waves were superconcentrated on a singular spot both times, but again, we used the microwave twice between incidents with no problem.

Fan Keeps Making this Annoying Noise

I am beyond confused -- I've put some sewing machine oil on the spinning rod but it still doesn't seem to fix it. Dads? People in this sub? Help please, I'd very much appreciate it.

Note: this noise only happens when I put the power at level 2 and 1.

The hole that my laundry drain pan fits into doesn’t seem to have been done correctly. There’s cracking around the rim of it. So, I’m wondering if I need to fix this and how? Can I use a sealant of some kind? I added pictures to help describe my issue.

Thanks in advance, everyone!

Hi! I just got this allegedly antique belt buckle, opened the box and the metal loop was just snapped in half. I'd prefer to fix it rather than return it and I'm assuming it wouldn't be too difficult so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Seal a leaky drink dispenser spigot

I bought this glass, pumpkin shaped drink dispenser for 30% off after Halloween at Home Goods. We recently filled it for a party and noticed it leaks from the spigot making it completely unusable. How do I seal it and still have it be food safe?
