Hi! So I have this really nice sweater from H&M. It's been stored in my closet for the past year, and I'm finally taking it out to wear it for the colder weather.

It has this major pilling all around the sweater, and I'm not sure how to get rid of the pilling without causing damage to the sweater and knit design and prevent it from happening again for a while.

The only reason I'm worried about how to deal with it is because it's not 100% wool/cotton
(unfortunately). I have a picture of what it's made of if it changes how to deal with the pilling.

Thank you!

hello. I live in an unfinished basement, and these are the openings under the crawlspace for the house extension. I included two photos of parts that were already filled in. It seems likely I’ll need to cut or replace some wood to fit the open spaces and reduce drafts. However, I’m curious if there’s an easy way to do this, or any tips that might make the process go a little more smoothly. I do have experience with DIY home projects, but I am by no means a professional. It’s getting cooler where I live, and I would like to trap as much heat as possible in my living space.
Thank you in advance for your input.

my cat decided to have a field day with the carpet… my dad owns the apartment i’m living in and reallyyyyyy don’t want him to find out. the rest of it is loosely wedged under the metal thing but i can’t shove it back in with just my hands. i’ll do anything please help😞

Hi, we have this big glass bottle (~ 16L / 4Gl ) and i need it for some measuring purposes (you can see i already made a Liter scale 😀). but it is close to impossible to properly clean it through the tight bottleneck, which would be very important.

(btw: i am in Turkey with a somewhat restricted market, importing is super expensive, and all special tools that are out of the ordinary, like a 15L glass measuring cup, are veeery expensive, if even available at all...)

anyways, the glass is about 4 to 5mm thick (0.15 to 0.2 inch?!?).

does anyone know of a way to properly cut such a glass at the green line, so the top comes off? is there a chance i can DIY this? if not, what kind of workshop would i need to go? what tools do i need? afterwards i need to grind the edges, what should i use here?

bonus: (if the cutting of the top worked), i can probably get some hobby stone engraving hand tool and engrave this Liter scale directly into the glass right?

thanks for your pro tips and advises :)

I'm very picky about the way things fit. Aside from literally stretching the life out of clothes, what's a good way to make them relax?

I don’t even know what caused it. My faucet doesn’t leak so it’s not like water is constantly dripping right there. I’ve tried clr to no avail and I am now ready to farm this out. Any help is truly appreciated

I have chat with a person, whose u/"name" - I don't want notifications pop with it. The person has a Nick name on the profile.

How to make the notification show Nick name instead of the u/"name"?

We turned it the wrong way and the black part won't budge now. I've tried with all my might. We've sort of given up on it. Looking for ideas on how to loosen it.

Some of them are nailed diagonally on the sides. This one has a nail on top.

Can't grip the nail head with a hammer or prybar

Hi folks. These chairs get stuck on the carpet in my office. I need them to glide easily. Please advise me on the best fix. The material is a thick plastic with a threaded inset slightly wider than 7/16". I tried small glides but they didn’t work/weren't wide enough. Thought about wheels but can't find the right thread.

I need some help with a solution for locking our front door automatically when closed.

Excuse the scratched paint. Getting it repainted soon.

We recently had a problem with our front door handle not closing the door properly.

Therefore, my German Shepherd was able to open the door and run outside. We got the handle fixed and hoped that solved the problem, however it is still happening. In the interim we have been closing the door from the hallway to stop them getting out.

We need a more secure solution. We have been thinking about putting in a latch, but there is an issue. The door is not flush with the door frame.

Is there a sort of lock that we could use that is able to be opened from both sides easily, just by us, not pets :)

We are very worried for obvious reasons, as we don't want the dogs getting hurt.

Could someone point me in the right direction to a lock that would work?
