The only way I've seen to fix this kind of hat is undoing the seams on the loop, putting on a new buckle and then sewing it back up but I don't have that kind of skill. I couldn't find a buckle that'd just clip on or anything.

1960s house with an old gazebo birdhouse--it's very cool and important to our home. I do see the rot on the roof, but I'm not too worried about that right now. I'd like to get the copper pieces back on correctly.

The roof pieces keep falling off and are difficult to reattach. I'm not sure how the copper roof pieces were originally attached, and I don't want to guess and make things worse.

1. There are six copper metal roof pieces.

2. On the left of each piece, there is a metal fold coming up like this ' \ '

3. On the right, there is a metal fold that comes up and then down, like this ' /\ '

4. On the bottom, there is a metal bend that goes under the edge of the wood, and there are some tiny holes and small nails.

5. Many of these bends are not perfectly aligned, potentially from years of wear and tear.

It seems like the pieces are supposed to link together and then the bottom flap is to keep the whole metal portion of the roof secure with nails.

I've tried just trying to put a piece back on individually but it doesn't seem to fit and stay in place like it should.

My theory is that I could take them all off, try to secure them together, bend the bottom pieces flat so I can just put the metal roof on like a hat, and then bend back the bottom folds and secure with new wire nails.

Let me know what you guys think, really don't want to cause more damage. Thank you.

Hi everyone,

My Bosch Series 6 washing machine (WAU28R00/36, 4 years old) has recently started making an unusual rubber-like creaking/groaning noise when accelerating into the spin cycle.

I've noticed the following:

• The entire drum/tub assembly moves noticeably sideways, particularly towards the left.

• When gently moving it sideways by hand, there's a slight clunk before it returns to centre.

• Very little vertical movement when pushing up or down; it returns smoothly.

• The drum rotates smoothly and silently by hand.

• Once it reaches full spin speed, everything is smooth, quiet and centred again.

I've attached a video showing the movement/noise.

Does this sound like worn shock absorbers, a loose suspension spring or mounting, or potentially something else?

I'd appreciate any advice before I start dismantling it or ordering replacement parts.

Thanks!

punched the wall left a hole gotta fix it before mama beats my ass

This the top of a WMF water heater. The heater fell down and this little piece broke off. Now the lid doesn't stay fixed!

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?

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.}

My daughter’s lava lamp has creased lava lamping. The glass heats up from the bulb below, I’ve moved the metal ring that’s along the bottom but for whatever reason, the wax inside refuses to go back to the standard motion from when it was unboxed two months ago.

Even if I shake it up and leave the light on, it will congeal like this.

Radiator bleed screw snapped off. Any ideas how to remove this safely and replace the screw? Thank you!

Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement clip (UK)

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!

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?

Can anyone please help me figure out how to fix this drawer? It hella leans and I can not figure it out.

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.

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.

This door was installed yesterday, it hits the jam when pushed in unless you force it outward.

When it hits the jam in the middle there are still gaps on the bottom and top. Also it's very wiggly at the top, not sure what the exact issue is, I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around their being a gap at the top and bottom when it's touching the jam in the middle.

It does all the way in and lock if pushed out so it doesn't hit the jam and locks, but it doesn't slide super well.

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.

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.
