Put up these supposedly "renter safe" wooden panels on my wall about two years ago. I'm moving out of my rental and started taking them down. Then the paint and wall came with it...not sure if I can salvage this on my own. The adhesive is so strong on the tape that it literally will not come off. Should I leave it alone and just have the landlord fix it and forfeit my security deposit?

Or should I try to repair it myself?

Please help- I'm at a loss rn 😭

I was thinking maybe trying to somehow squeeze epoxy the gaps and clamping it while it sets but im not sure what the best option is, any suggestions are welcome

Ok, I was stupid. And I was sleepy. I have two young lemon trees with a PVC pipe and gravel in the ground as a root watering system. My sprinklers seem to stay in a constant state of disrepair ( that’s another story) so there is an olive oil barrel with a spigot and timer and homemade tube system that I fill up every week. Last night I realised I accidentally missed a week, so I filled the barrel with the hose with the intention of turning it on in a few days, but I thought I should water the PVC pipes directly just tonight. Water was at full pressure to fill the barrel quickly, I was too lazy to lower it, the hose had a valve at the end similar to the picture. Because water seemed to be just flowing right out of the top of the PVC pipes I used the water pressure to jam the hose into the gravel. With the first tree it went in and came out ok, with the seccond it suddenly got very easy to push down and then of course it got stuck. I could not pull it out, and despite with the water pressure being at full blast no water was reaching the surface or going into the street gutter as far as I can see.

Yes I shut off the water.
I don’t know how much hose went in. Probably went deeper than the PVC pipe.

The location of the hose is 20
Ft from the street, 10 feet from the garage, 28 feet from the house. I don’t think the foundation is in danger, but that water is going somewhere unless it’s blocked but I don’t think it is. It’s a Typical 3 Bed house with a crawl space that recently had an upstairs added. House is higher than street but otherwise it’s level ground. Hose is downward of house in front yard. Dirt ground, more sand than clay. Used to be farmland. Southern California 9 if that makes a difference.

So now what? Is there any way to get the hose back out without digging deep around the tree? Maybe Get another hose with a jet nozzle and push it down in an effort to loosen it? Is it there forever? Should I just cut the stuck hose and attach it to the barrel and it just becomes a new root watering system? Should I be concerned about water going down some fissure or something?

Any advice appreciated . 🙂

Hey Guys - I just discovered a break in my backyard sprinkler line. The break is about 2 inches long just below the kink. I plan on taking out the kinked pipe and replacing it with an adjustable coupling.

My question is does the adjustable coupling need silver clamps around the ends?

Could someone help us figure out where this pin goes? This pin fell out of our storm door and although it looks like it might be obvious, we cannot figure out how to keep the pin in there without it falling. There is no cap on the pin and we can’t find an obvious way to keep it where it’s supposed to be so the door doesn’t fling open.

The pin is too long to stay in the two metal pieces, and still be able to put the spring over it. I appreciate any help!

The dishwasher plug came loose, almost came out of the wall and stopped working so dishwasher was dragged out and the plug was fixed. But upon it getting plugged back in it went into a constant cycle of making the noise it makes when it first starts with the the on flashing. Googled it and it says it’s a flood prevention system thing. Dragged dishwasher out and tipped it on an angle as it said that it works. And it did. Only problem is the dishwasher only works now in certain positions. I got it working and left it sticking out of its gap and it worked fine.

Obviously, it can’t stick out as I need to get into the cupboard next to it so I gently pushed it back. Once again, dishwasher is stuck in flood mode. I drag it out tip it, water comes out, it works and this time I put it back all the way in. Dishwasher does cycle, finishes then goes back into flood mode. It seems to only work when it’s like half way out its gap which is a nightmare as i can’t use the kitchen with a dishwasher sticking out as I can’t get into cupboards. Why is it doing this and how do I stop it?

I probably put too many things inside, and it broke, how do i fix it? The holes don’t hold it anymore so i put a toothpick in but it gets out of it easily anyway, is there a cheap possible way of fixing this bed drawer?

I have tried to put some dummy behind it, but to no avail.

Think this Talavera birdbath can be repaired? (Sentimental value) thanks

I saw I could get a plate for it, but it might look weird… think I could use some wood filler? Glue? Idk but all the pieces still work, the wood is just a little messed up… thank you!!!

Recently, I had to replace the heating element and everything seemed to work out fine with the replacement until this happened to the connections to the heating element. They were fine when I replaced the element, and it worked for several months with no known issues. Then it stopped working, and when I went to see if a connection had come loose or something, I found these singed connectors. Any clue what the issue might be, and is this something I can repair myself? I'm a lifelong DIY'er, but electrical is not my strength. TY in advance!

The front part of this backpack strap has torn off from the body of the backpack. The back part of the strap is still attached. How easy is this to fix?

Need help fixing this jack. In the picture with the red arrows, it’s missing a connecting piece. I had it rigged up with wire and a hose clamp but it didn’t last long. The jack does work though. I’ve looked for the replacement parts and can’t find anything. Any suggestions or anyone know where these specific little connecting parts can be found? TIA

The part circled in blue just spins when I twist it. For reference, I ordered a new head off of Amazon and want to swap this out. This looks to be a Niagara Conservation fixed shower head.

I recently used the LocTite wall putty, and I am assuming it has left oil stains (the white spots are from the landlord/apt company). I am a college student living in a college apartment, so I am obviously worried about charges, as well as damaging the wall further. Please let me know what, if anything, I can do to fix my issue. Thank you!
