Second guessing before I brute force this and break the cartridge. It should just pull straight out at this point?

Title is pretty much everything!...

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....

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...

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....

It takes a few minutes for my tankless water heater to warm up, so we end up wasting a lot of water in our shower. Is there a way to avoid this? A friend mentioned a “comfort valve” or something? What is it and how does it work? Or is there another solution? Thx!

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....

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...

A few years ago i bought a very run down mobile home and i started rebuilding it from the steel/iron frame up. Ill include a few pics of the in between in the comments, but this is my kitchen finally completed. I rehabbed some used cabinets and built a good bit of them from scratch as well as the cabinet doors. This is my first...

I made a post previously on having rot behind a soffit and many of you gave me great advice on how to proceed in fixing it the right way....

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?

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

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....

I’m trying to find a certain kind of bracket to mount a cage fan like this on my porch....

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

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....

We moved in to our house a couple years ago and were not told too much about a pipe that sticks out of our backyard....
