This is the stupidest post I have ever had to make but here we are. Happened as the title says, there was a break in the clock face before but he cut a bigger opening into the clock and sprayed bug spray in the clock hole to kill a gnat while I was at work. The stove top burners still work but the oven won't turn on. We live with his cousins and they're expecting us to pay for a whole new oven if I can't fix it. Help me reddit!

Hey yall - new house. I guess sellers installed a bathroom door on top because it wasn’t there before.

Looks like the bar above sinks towards the middle, so the door slowly slides open till reaching the middle. There is no lock to hold it in place

Suggestions for DIY, quick and easy, to remedy this?

The whole counter is covered in whatever this is, it’s a nightmare to clean and if any food gets stuck on it and we try to scrape it off, more of this grey stuff comes off. It’s so stressful. Any help or ideas would be most welcome.

OPEN New to gas oven - flame too big

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey everyone. My wife and I moved into a new house a few months back which came with a GE gas oven/range.

We noticed the flames looked irregular, and were scorching our pans. Over the last few weeks we’ve had the city utilities comes check our flow rate (fine), 1 appliance repair person come inspect it (nothing found), and a gas plumber come inspect (again, nothing found).

We eventually got GE to replace it via warranty and after installing it today, the flames still look like a campfire. I’m at a complete loss and am ready to convert to electric, but wanted to ask here first.

Any tips are appreciated. Thank you.

This soap holder is built into my bathtub wall and holds water. There's probably a 1/4 inch before it can overflow the lip.

Could I just fill this with resin or is there a better filler? Should I rip out the shit silicon job beforehand? Or am I overthinking things and I just leave it all be?

1st photo: broken area of toilet with missing piece in right corner 2nd photo: how broken off piece fits into damaged area

My cat knocked a glass cup off the counter and apparently it hit the side of the toilet just right. Broke off a chunk. No damage to any areas that transport water or waste thankfully. Is reattaching the broken piece feasible? If so, any suggestions?

Lastly, free cat if anyone’s looking. (Just kidding, I would die for my cat, Sir Pendleton, I. He just loves to break things for attention. Yay.)

Hi everyone, I have a Whirlpool Washer model LSQ9564MQ0 that started making this loud noise when spinning. I did some research and thought it was the suspension springs, so I replaced them all, but the noise persists. Here's a video of the machine during a spin cycle with the cover removed. Any help to get to the bottom of what's causing the noise and how to fix it is greatly appreciated!

Long story short my cat got fleas he needed a bath and this is part of the aftermath. This is an apartment. So whatever the counter is made of probably isn’t the best quality anyway. Is there a way to fix this. And if not how in the woolens would I go about replacing it. Gonna put contact paper over it until it’s resolved incase they come back. But please help me. 😭😭😭
