I think some electronics in the motor have gone kaput. The wall mounted button works, but I have 2 remotes and neither works. (I did change the battery on one as well as try to re-pair it with the motor, to no avail.)...
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 just got a DIY kit quote for solar and it’s ~$18,000. That would mean a contractor installing is at least $25,000 if not more. That’s a big chunk of change upfront.
My basement flooded about 2 years ago right when we moved in. Tore out the floors, carpet, and the old 60s wood panels that were tacked to the concrete. No that drainage has been fixed and cracks stopped growing, I want to start re-finishing properly. I need some guidance on the following:...
Geico is offering me an amazing deal on home insurance compared to my current insurance provider. They said I need a “4-point inspection” to get the policy. The guy I used for the purchase was through word-of-mouth, but he’s not doing them anymore. I’ve asked around, but no one I know has any recommendations. How do I...

Hey Y’all...
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....
I have a few apparently cast-iron chimneys bedded in concrete. They have no hats on them. I’m not sure how the fireplaces were blocked off but it feels solid, as if they bricked them shut and plastered over it....
To be frank, I'm not sure if replacing the single pane with double pane is: A - something I can afford at the moment and B - something I can DIY (which adds to point A)....
We have vacuum breakers but my dad will inevitably remove it because he can't stand that humming sound. He also insists on leaving the hose bib/valve at all times, even when he's not using it....
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....
I know this is a cleaning request than a home improvement one, but I would appreciate some advice....
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....
I have a 4bd/2ba that I want to add another bathroom to. There is a small “office” (it’s not big enough to be considered another room) that I would like to convert to said bathroom. The two existing bathrooms are right next to each other in the rear of the house and the water cutoff is in front of the property, on the...
I have a well pump in my garage that seems to have stopped working. When plugging it in, I hear it running, but the pressure never goes up, and the motor never stops. No idea what I’m doing with this thing.
Recently had an addition put onto my house, new part has a basement which has a sump pump. But doesn’t have a battery backup....
My façade was old & cracking. Chunks looked like they were close to falling. I removed all the loose bits and re-rendered with new concrete. I did the proper bonding steps with polyvinylacetate (#PVA). That previously cracked part of the #façade seems relatively strong and water resistent now (i.e. the color remains light...
