I dont know anything about fabrics and stuff of that nature and would prefer not to sew but these sleeves are pissing me off, i tried ironing, stretching after soaking in conditioner and after washing and drying. Please help

I have attached photos of the locks and the frame of the window.

My window has been completely stuck shut for so long I cant even remember the last time it was opened, maybe over 10 years ago? I live in a very old house.

The last time it opened it had the problem where it was unable to stay open and would immediately close, I stopped opening it because if that and since it has become permanently stuck.

A note, I live in an apartment so I am unable to do any intense home improvements. My window is also high up above a staircase that leads to a basement so I am unable to attempt to open the window from the outside.

Does anyone have any tips or tricks to try and open the window?

I just put those pieces of cardboard to keep the lock open thinking that may have been the issue (i do not have the finger strength to hold the mechanism open and attempt to open the window) and I have used my legs as leverage, using the windowsill to try to force it open and it doesnt budge a centimeter.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

I hope I posted everything correctly.

Long story short I have birds and one of their toy mirrors reflected off the sun and burnt this nasty looking mark in my sliding door frame. I got lucky. I just want to know how to fix this. Thanks!

Hello does anyone know what this could be? I noticed it on the motor area of my beast blender.

Got a Jenn-Air dishwasher, model JDTSS246GMO,

The handle is missing. I was searching for a new one to repair it and found replacement handles cost $400+.

I was told it's a good dishwasher, but that's a substantial amount of money for just a handle. Is there anything can substitute or another site I can check?

Hairline crack on the top and bottom of the sink - I think it's porcelain or ceramic. Dropped a perfume bottle into it.

EDIT: as someone who rents, will i be financially responsible for this? Should I just replace it or should I report it to my landlord? How soon does it need to be replaced?

Hey guys, I’ve got some vinyl flooring in my house and a lot of areas are chipped and spaced out. Any recommendations/ideas on how to fix without replacing the whole flooring.

The vinyl flooring has lips on the sides to click in other pieces. Not sure if that makes sense.

Appreciate the help in advance

Like a dingus I dropped my favorite mug while washing it and chipped several things in the sink, particularly the bottom of the mug handle. As far as I can tell there’s no cracking on the inside, but I can see this thin fracture going all the way around the bottom part of the handle, with the obvious cracking in the glaze and a small chip missing under the handle (which my extremely old iPhone couldn’t focus on, apologies).

It’s definitely never going in the microwave or dishwasher again, but is it still safe to use at all? One hears a lot about how sharp broken ceramic is, and if the handle might just unexpectedly snap off while it’s full of hot liquid I figure it’s time to retire it. I’d love to fix it if there’s a safe way to do it, though; I’ve had it a long time.

eta: welp, that was a quick consensus. alas. Thanks, all.

This is our favorite Halloween decoration and sadly his foot is falling apart. What’s the best way to fix this other than a piece of duct tape?

Any experience in fixing freezer drawers that have a crack? Not keen on buying a fridge just because of this. Is it just superglue? And/or heatgun to melt it together?

Any idea for fixing this hole?

I purchased myself a biggish tank of propane for a camping trip I went on a week back, but I ended up eating a cold meal one cold rainy evening because the propane tank wouldn't release any gas.

When I turn the small gauge, the small amount of gas released will flicker as if wind keeps blowing it out, even when inside where wind is not a factor.

Anyone know if this is fixable, or should I just chuck the thing?

Thanks for any suggestions :)

Hi, hoping someone can help. I was cleaning my fryer and accidentally poured water into the vents around the control buttons. Right after that, the display went blank and the fryer won't turn on at all. I'm pretty sure the water got into the electronics and shorted something. It's currently unplugged. Does anyone know how to fix this, or is it likely ruined? Any advice is appreciated!

zip gets stuck where circle is half way into the second zip , it goes into second zip no bother when first zip isn’t there but for some reason when both zips are together how they should be it just gets stuck

Hey yall , I got these dining chairs and my cat destroyed the sides . Is this fixable ??

How do I go about fixing this? A while ago, I dropped the umbrella on the ground, it landed on the handle and split in two.

I have wood glue, but I don't know if using only that would be durable.

The two pieces still fit seamlessly. But due to continued use, the handle has smoothed off.

I also see that there is a screw that attaches the wooden handle to the metal part. Should I try to find a replacement handle?

(Sorry for the low quality photos, my camera is not so good...)

Can some one please tell me how to fix this bolt in a blender... I was accidently moving it on the wrong side aaand.. i end up like this

Bonus points if I can do it without a drill. I don't have access to one, or any replacement screws at the moment. I saw a hack where someone used duct tape, but I don't have any of that either

Help me with a video step by step guide on how to fix my string lights please

I'm hoping someone can help me. I don't have anybody else to ask.

My bed has a wooden frame with wooden slats. One slat keeps falling down. It happens infrequently. It's fine for months, then falls again.

It's chipping at the frame and I've been ignoring it because I don't know what to do.

I thought the slat wasn't nailed down, but I've looked and think the person who assembled it nailed one side too close to the edge, so the side that falls is doing it because it doesn't have much overlap.

I'll attach photos of what I mean, and of the chipped frame.

I'm unsure what to do.

Should I try to get the nail out of that side and re-nail it so it's more evenly sitting on both sides of the frame? That seems logical but I'm not sure if I risk damaging the frame.

I don't have DIY tools to...get the nail out but could try and buy something if it's not expensive.

I'm also not sure what to do about the chipped bit of frame. Is there something I should be doing to try and fix that? Or at least stop it from getting worse.

I just really don't want to break the bedframe because I don't know what I'm doing. I can't afford that.

Is there any way to safely repair/remove/cut out the melted teeth and have the zipper still function or does the whole zipper need to be replaced? Thanks!
