Honestly I am so bloody baffled by this....
Every once in a while, the heating element seems to break on my Gaggenau EB 378 610 oven. Other than that, it works fine....
To clarify; I have not yet sprayed anything into the dial mechanism....
What kinda of wood or other material should be used to replace the box end and soffit?
Finagled my way into the attic to explore a bit. Found this wiring run that basically lays on the sheet rock with insulation sitting on top. It goes to a light switch that controls three of this thin led recessed lights. Could this get really hot and start a fire with the insulation on top?...
I’m not sure what material or style these steps are, but they’ve started crumbling after water got into a crack and froze during the winter. It seems to be getting worse and I’m wondering how to address it. Is this something that can be patched or do I need to remove all this material and start over?
I fixed the roof now onto the dry wall. I’ll post in the comments a picture from the house and from the attic of the dry wall in question. Do I need to cut it out and replace it or just paint over it or something else I am unaware of?
For context, I’m talking about texturing smaller drywall repairs like, say, a patched 3-inch hole (don’t get me started on railings not installed to code…) or even nail pop repairs as per the other recent post. Assume I’ve mudded and sanded and it’s nice and smooth and now I want it… less smooth. To match, say, an...
This corner of the shower seems to be having some mold issues from regular use. Water seems to be collecting in that spot after a shower and doesn’t seem to be draining properly. Is there anything I can do for a permanent fix?...
I’m planning on converting a 21x21 garage to a living room in the next couple years. I’ve got pretty much everything figured out I believe, and it seems a bit simpler than the bonus room conversion I finished earlier this year....
Works good 👍
My house is pretty new, 5 years old. It has interconnected smoke alarms in every room (11), as required. I believe they are all First Alert brand....
What’s the orange knob? Obviously the red and blue are hot and cold water for the washing machine. The orange knob is extremely hard to turn and I don’t want to force it without knowing what it is. Any ideas?
A few years ago I tried multiple times to make a screen for my kid’s bedroom and failed each time in a different way. I got so angry I gave up. Each time something doesn’t line up or fit correctly even after checking the dimensions multiple times on each try.

Found this in a cabinet under the stove. I think it’s old ventilation from before the induction burner was installed. Not sure how to seal it off.
We’ve been exploring a thankless solution, but the company that quited us said it isn’t a good idea in our area because the ground freezes in the winter. We don’t live in a super cold area, but it does snow a few times a year and it can get into the single digits of degrees Fahrenheit.

I moved into a place with one very hazy window screen that is difficult to see through....
I'm currently working on my sprinkler valve box. It sucks ass. It's dug in the ground. I'm on my knees trying to replace a Hunter valve. This is the second time I'm back here this week because replacing the diaphragm didn't fix the leak. I think I'm gonna have to replace the whole valve, but the stupid valves are in the stupid...
There are a few spots I've neglected to replace old brittle sealant (around the kitchen sink) or never sealed at all (new faucet I installed 8 months ago). Now there's black gunk accruing under and around the sealant....
