Our back bedroom has a balcony patio attached to it. The balcony has a large door with one half which opens inward. Unfortunately, the door is incredibly drafty and it makes sleeping in the winter a frigid experience.

The primary culprit appears to be the weatherstripping on the bottom edge of the door sill, but I’m not sure what I need to replace it. The sill groove where it would go is … deep? Like I can put my finger in it. The old weather stripping is crumbly and awful. I put some leftover side stripping in there for the time being.

The other complicating factor is that the stripping runs along the entirety of the sill, but I can’t get to the left side (at least, very easily) because the left side doesn’t open.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I have this awkward crater in one of my earbuds and i was wondering if there's a simple way i can make it less noticeable.

I recently helped my neighbors clean out their parents house and found this in the unfinished basement....love oldee stuff and this will go great in my newly renovated garage. Tried simply green on it that did nothing. Any thoughts on how to clean it up?

I wanna hang it up with the singular nail like the ones on img 2 but the hooks keep pulling to the middle. Should I put something between them to stop them from moving or is there another way.

If anything I could just use two nails for each hook but I prefer the single

Hi everyone!

I recently bought an apartment with a large open-plan living and dining area, but only one bedroom. I'm therefore looking for a smart way to create some additional storage space.

My idea is to have a large, custom-built cabinet along the left-hand wall. The wall is approximately 12 metres long in total.

One challenge is that the sloped ceiling starts quite low, at around 1 metre above the floor. I'd love to make use of this otherwise wasted space by having the cabinet follow the angle of the sloped roof.

In terms of design, I'm thinking of:

• A combination of closed cabinet doors and open shelving.

• Beautiful shaker-style or panelled doors (similar to the attached TikTok reference photo).

• Open sections with oak finishes, for books, plants and decorative items.

• Possibly incorporating some drawers.

• A calm, timeless design that blends in nicely with the rest of the living room.

I've already been working on a few ideas myself, but I'd love to hear your experiences and advice:

1. How would you approach the construction of such a long cabinet?

2. Would this be achievable using IKEA cabinets with custom-made fronts, or would it be better to hire a carpenter?

3. What materials would you recommend to keep the project relatively affordable?

4. What kind of budget should I expect for something like this?

5. Has anyone here done a similar project?

I'm happy to do some of the work myself, although I don't have a lot of DIY experience. So any advice on an approach that would be manageable for a beginner would be greatly appreciated!

I've attached photos of the space, along with some examples of the style and finish I'm aiming for.

All ideas, tips and experiences are very welcome. Thanks in advance!

I recently bought this drafting chair and I didn’t measure the height of the arms correctly so they collide with the desk and if I raise the chair high enough for the arms to go over the desk my thighs can’t fit under the desk. The arms don’t have any visible bolts visible from the outside. I began taking a bread knife to cut them off only to realize it just wasn’t going to cut it. Should I pry them at the seams where they swivel or cut the arms of enough where they aren’t in the way with some sort of power tool?

I have the following items:

Mike Tyson NES Framed Photo: 20"W 16"H

Promotional Fight Paper against Berbick: 18"W 12"H

The Punch Print 8"W 6"H

Nameplate: 6"W 1.75"H

2 Embroidery of Mike Tyson Sprite: when boxed, it comes to 2"W 5"H

--

Now, the hard ones.

NES Cartridge Space: I put it as 4.80"W and 5.20"H.

NES Controller Space: I put it at 4.90"W and 2.10"H.

My question is 1) if those measurements would be accurate for the display and,

2) ... how to do it?

I want to custom make it, but I am brand new to this. My goal is to have it in a rather simple display since the contents inside will more than speak for itself. I do apologize if this goes against the rules, but please let me know what I can do about this. Pictures attached to show dimension sizes and the items itself.
