I just moved to a new house, and after setting up my washing machine it now shakes a lot while running, like it moves itself 3 or 4 inches sometimes. It seems to really shake for a 5-15 seconds then runs normal for a while. No real discernible pattern....
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?
Hi all. Anybody have any tips or tricks on making a bathroom sink drain faster without going through the process of taking it apart, cleaning it, and putting it back together?...
This happened to me a while back but I thought it would be good to share to possibly save someone 10s of thousands of dollars....

I have a small workshop/shed with some power tools and want to ensure that my kids cannot turn them on accidentally or on purpose without me present....
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.
There’s about a 15’-20’ gap in my fence that the previous owners never finished. It’s on both sides where the fence would meet up with the house. Normally it wouldn’t bother me but I’d like a safe enclosed space for my dog to run around in....
Moving into a new apartment that has drywall returns already installed around the windows, but does not have any window framing or sills (I understand they’re called stools when on the interior)....
I just cut through a 6x6 pressure treated beam with my Ryobi brushless circular saw. Didn’t even bother to upgrade to a diablo blade. And it worked great!...
I have a very odd issue that I can’t solve, perhaps someone here could help. The pipe attached to my main shutoff valve is emitting a soft knocking sound at around 120 beats per minute. The sound persists as long as there is any amount of pressure, and I can feel it in the pipe nearby as well as in the valve handle itself. The...
Hi folks, I got a heat pump installed at my home and I’m looking to better understand when/how it switches over to backup fuel in the winter....
What kinds of tools or products do you know of that work well for moles? Not interested in trapping and releasing, or having dead and decaying animals underground. I’ve heard of the sonic spikes which may deter them but with mixed reviews
I’m looking at getting smart locks for my front and back door, but don’t know what to look for. Hopefully something with a keypad, so I can give friends a code to get in, and a RFID badge, so I can easily get in and out. Any suggestions are welcome!
I have 2 standard freestanding units in my basement and crawlspace running 24/7. I want to get something more energy efficient, will last a while, and that’s easy to maintain. I am considering an Aprileaire dehumidifier. Based on this www.energystar.gov/productfinder/…/results it would appear they have a high efficiency...

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...
Hey all!...
Our old cheap toilet you can’t get parts for anymore (dual flush). I remember my dad fixing old singl-flush toilets with just standard parts from the hardware store. But these new dual-flush toilets are super proprietary. Are single-flush toilets more standardized to where I would be able to easily find parts? I am thinking...
I was investigating why is one of the air vents so loud when AC is running. Turned out the air duct is not actually behind the vent, but to the side of it....
Our master bath doesn’t have an exhaust fan and I’d like to add one to help with the humidity. It’s the primary bathroom of use upstairs and the 2nd full bath is on the other side of the wall....
