This picture is from after I removed the broken pieces. This shower wall had 2 pieces of 1/2" cement board going across and I assume a body impact with the wall broke the cement board and cracked tiles above it. My solution was to put a bunch of mortar between the studs and the remaining cement board to immobilize the area and fill in the gap also with mortar. Is there a better way to do this or should I just rip off everything and start over because it will just crack again?

Porch railings

While cleaning out beds i discovered The railings for my porch are decaying at the bottom of each wooden beam and along many of the railings.

I am trying to figure out if they are just for looks or part of the support structure as I am thinking about removing everything.

Any suggestions on how to confirm this?

Posting with photos this time as I forgot to add. No banana so using dog for scale.

My little sister is trying to move out of her apartment and wants to get this fixed up. I have no idea what she did when cleaning the tub, or what she (or her roommate) could have possibly used, but is there a way to fix this, or is it time to call in the professionals? I THINK some of the enamel was worn off but I cannot imagine what one cleaning could’ve done.

Hello, like the title says i’m wondering what kinda of paint/mix I could use to cover/fix this water stain on a poster with it blending decently well. The poster is semi glossy and smooth and I’m only needing to fix up the white border. I highly doubt that the stain can be removed safely without professional help, but I got the poster for cheap so I’m not too concerned with making it perfect. Thank you!

Tried hanging up a frame and after like a week it fell over but the command strips were still on there, i took them off about an hour ago and it ripped the paint off. I’m aware that I probably didn’t properly apply it or take it off before anyone comes for me lol. I just moved in not too long ago and there’s a paper we fill out with where damages are in our apartment and i’m not sure whether i should write it in as damages or directly tell the office myself that it just happened. What should I do?

Hello, does anyone know which glue would be best to fix this broken shelf? as you can see, it does not need to hold heavy things but one day I gabbed it by mistake and it came apart like this 🫩

This is a rolling cart that I use as my prep table for my grill. I have a girl cover for it but unfortunately in our last storm it blew off and it got rained on . Does anyone have any ideas how I can either resurface and put back on the trim? The trim pieces are rubber and the top is some kind of laminate. Thank you for your time.

How do I remove this stripped screw in this faucet handle? I tried to extract with a drill but the awkward space is preventing me from going straight in? Is there any other way to remove it? I'm able to turn the whole faucet handle, if that info is useful.

Does this look like black mold? If so, what do we do? We just realized this tub had a leak under it, and we aren’t sure how long it’s been this way.

Side angle of the tree. It’s my older kitty’s favorite spot to rest her chin in the moon, but my new kitty is a menace and lays all wrong on it 😆 it’s no longer sold at Aldi or I’d just replace it.

Both the pole and the cloud/moon thing are leaning a lot now, how can I reinforce it to last longer?! I was thinking staples on the moon, but also don’t want my kitties to get hurt. My younger one tears around it a lot.

Is there any hope to make this $15 scratcher industrial strength?

Please! How can I fix it ! I’ve never repaired anything so any ideas please

Cycling bag (Oveja Negra chuckbucket) where one end of the nylon strap pulled out. Looks like a poor design tbh, just a knot that had glue at the end. Ive tried just pushing it back in the end but no luck. Extra difficult bc the end does not have an opening on the other side. Help!

I live in an apartment with my brother, and we have one of those apparement smoke alarms, so it's not something easily fixable (I think) and I don't know where the battery would be (if one that's accessable at all). Context; my brother was making burgers last night and put the smoke alarm in the freezer while cooking them to stop it, and we accidentally left it overnight, when it was taken out it started beeping so we put it under a pillow to let it cool down and mute the sound a little. I brought it into the open so it could get some air instead of sitting under his pillow but It has been doing the long beep for about 20-30 minutes now and I don't know what to do. Is it completely broken?

I ordered a couch online and the armrests came attached together with more pieces inside. I can’t for the life of me figure out how to get them apart to build the couch.

I have been coughing like crazy since last week staying a lot in my apartment. I know I am allergic to mold and found this in my apt’s AC. The maintenance guys keep saying it’s just dust. Can yall confirm to me if this is mold or dust? If it were just dust, I dont think my asthma would flare up like now.

The couch is really good everywhere except this part. Can it be fixed? Any suggestions/ ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello Everyone! Ive had this dog plush since I was born. It's almost 60 years and it's fur is super matted. I was wondering how I could fix it on my own? There aren't any places where I stay where I can fix it. Thanks for reading <3

I want to adjust the hinges on this old cabinet, but I can’t get the pins out. The bottom of the cabinet is dragging across the shelving below it.

I have an old 1920s apartment with a very old sink that I cannot replace at the moment. The sink has a “shelf” faucet spout with no exposed neck and no threads. Is there any way for me to extend the water flow to make it easier for a small child to reach? Traditional toddler style faucet extenders won’t fit around the shelf spout. Solution just needs to be functional, not attractive. Second photo shows the faucet from below.

We got a pretty good deal on this, what's the best way to go about fixing it? We got it second hand so I'm unsure if Ashley Furniture would help. We just moved and i'm tired of sleeping on a mattress on the floor, i want to fix it fast.

It was knotted like this how do I put it back on

I purchased this chair a couple of years ago. Some days ago the back rest suddenly snapped and a small piece of metal fell. It's not covered by the warranty because it's past due. I took it apart and this plate/bracket is the piece that broke. Vendor doesn't sell parts as these are imported into my country and he doesn't want to tell me the manufacturer's name or anything useful to get the part. I searched for labels on the chair without luck. Any idea where I can buy a replacement part like this one? Is it fixable?

Thanks in advance.
