Home Improvement

Hey folks, looking for some advice because I don’t know how to proceed....

I need to fix this strip on our storm door. I’m not sure what it’s called. It’s made of hard plastic but has warped from years getting baked in sun....

I DIY’ed the floor in my bedroom but I’ve got gaps like the one pictured in a few spots. What’s the best way to close these up?

I’m trying to assess if this is worth it before talking to contractors. I’ve done a lot of DIY remodels and hired out some but never anything of this magnitude. I want to build an addition on top of the garage and connect to the rest of the 2nd floor. Here’s some assumptions I have....

EDIT: I ended up using epoxy. Thank you for the help.

I’m pretty new to this. I was considering replacing it with something else because it leaks slightly from the valve if it gets moved around at all, but I don’t know what this connection is to start with. It goes to a dishwasher.

I’m in the process of refinishing my basement, and I’ve installed the breakers. My panel uses Square D QO breakers that have a window that shows red when the breaker is in the tripped position. Breakers are then reset by turning fully off and then on....

First time home owner here. I stuck these vent deflectors a month ago on one of our vents and I removed it today for some other reason. I noticed these stains that looked like water stains but I think it’s actually something that is growing - maybe unfortunately mold or something. I need help in understanding this situation...

How do i remove these anchors? Is there maybe a way to push them further in so i can just add filler on top? I decided to refinish this piece of furniture but found myself stumped already. The anchors are flush with the furniture, so i can’t grab them from the top....

There are 3-4 spots like this. Want to make sure to discuss with contractor if I should prior to making last payment.

Newer home owner here. I have these cracks on the foundation of the house. Behind them is a crawl space open to dirt. How should I fix or address these? Do they need to be fixed? I try and DIY as much as I can so don’t be afraid to suggest a DIY solution. I’m also not above getting professional help, I just haven’t had to...

Recently had a new standing seam metal roof installed. Roofers could talk the talk but I was not impressed with the quality of work overall....

I have a small barn like structure on the back of my property that I have started fixing up. Previous owners have done stuff to it as well and I came across this part in the loft. As can be seen in the pictures this light shining through into the inside from the soffit/facia, if that’s what it would be in this scenario....

We’re getting our house repainted, so I took down one of the hideous lamps in the bathroom to uncover this. It was certainly a choice, but I think this may have been original to the house (ca 1940). While it’s a bit much, we’re trying to be authentic to the original vision of the house. Does anyone know if it’s possible...

There’s a little gap at the bottom left and if I tug on the trim, it’s loose and hollow. I can hear road noise coming in from behind it....

I had a skylight in a small barn I have on my property which had a branch go through one of the plastic bubble like skylights. I have been trying to find a replacement for it but can’t find any that match....

They are bigger than I was able to capture on camera beauty of water heater being in the way.

My project is going slowly, but I finished building and painting the feature wall in my son’s new bedroom. Now I just need to install and program the LED strip along the top!...

I am about finished with an 8 ft x 13 ft patio, and the plan is to bond the pavers with polymeric sand. It’s just starting to get down to freezing temps overnight, and I’m willing to take some chances with some creative solutions to cure the sand before it gets even cooler....

I am re-arranging the shelves in an old bookcase, and I’m having trouble removing a few broken shelf pins inside the holes I want to use. They don’t protrude enough for me to get any kind of grip with the needle-nose pliers that I used to take out the other pins....

I live in a rental property that has a tiny yard out back. I’d love to paint it just to brighten it up a little more for sitting out in the 3 days of UK sun, but don’t want the landlord to take a hissy fit and steal my deposit. So if I did paint it, is there a (easy) way to strip it before I leave? Up close shot attached

Every door in my house looks like this due to past owner pets and a bit of my own cats helping the damage along. It’s been a project on the list for years and now i’m finally getting to it....

I am not familiar with this bronze colored nut that is holding my current Grohë Ladylux kitchen faucet to the counter. Does anyone know the best way to remove this? Thanks very much in advance!...

1950s house with block foundation. I’ve patched these areas with hydraulic cement. That didn’t work so I stripped and cleaned the areas thoroughly then repatched. It improved but still getting lots of leaking where the foundation and floor meet or just above....
