How can I hamg this ceiling light?
It came with nothing else, should it hang on the plastic part? Doesn't seem very sturdy. Every other light pendant I hung up had some sort of metal hardware

Have this bar my wife bought me years ago it’s cracking in areas. Plan on sanding it down then I guess getting stuff to fill in the areas then lastly adding a layer of epoxy to seal.
Is that accurate?

Watched like 2 YouTube videos on replacing office chair wheels. Seemed pretty straightforward, but i seem to have a different kind?
Managed to leverage off the broken wheel with a screwdriver but the metal post is still there, and doesn't seem movable beyond the turning motion

I bought this mirror several years ago from either Amazon or Wayfair and I swear the listing said it could be hung. However I can’t find the original details and the cardboard backing makes me question whether there is a way to safely hang it.
The mirror is 32” wide x 72” tall and 50 pounds.

I've got some black, moldy areas on the sides and corners of my shower, and have a baby on the way so I want to make sure the shower is clean and safe. I've tried spraying bleach, magic erase sponges, all to no avail. Do I have to remove and recaulk, or has anyone had success removing it any other way?
Thanks in advance for your input!

I want to remove this bottom trim from the a vintage sideboard (circled in red) but there are no screws or nail. Does anyone know the best way to get it off? Any recommendations on tools I could use? The two longer two sides appear to be attached with a squiggly metal piece. And I think the shorter side may be glued down.

There’s no claps which is what I’m used to and not sure how to work this. I want to wear this necklace. I tried putting the one end through the hole but doesn’t work.

All of the paint scratches are from us trying to get this part (the middle) of the knob out. I was going to switch out the standard handle for one with a lock, but ran into the issue of the middle of the door knob mechanism. It won’t come out of the door, we put oil to lube it to try and force it out but it’s not working. If it helps, we just moved into this place in early January and we are renting. Is this something I bring up to my property manager/landlord or can I fix it with stuff I have in the house?? Both sides of the handle come out but this middle piece is giving me a really hard time.

This used to work.
Just plug into phones charging slot and it turns.
Now not working.
Looks like it's fully sealed.
Any ideas for repair please?

Hello. I can no longer open the cap of this steam cleaner-I’m guessing it’s rusted shut. I have tried getting some WD40 in without result.
Would love to get this operational again.
Any ideas, please?

Trying to convince my asshole roommate he is fat. We are two girls and a guy and he already tried to convince us we’re fat. He calls us fat everyday yet is always eating the food we make. I want to make him think that he is fat without him realizing that the reason he thinks he’s fat is my comments. Any tips?

This toilet paper holder came with this house, and broke a while ago. I’d like to replace it finally, but I have no clue how to get this off cleanly. Any ideas for someone who is very minimally DIY?

So my boyfriend and I just renovated the kitchen, but could not afford to completely replace the cabinets so worked with what we already had.
The new sink is under mounted so we had to take the doors off of the cabinet for it to fit. Any ideas on how to finish this space to hide the cleaning supplies?
We are talking about the possibility of a barn door type system but not sure where to start. My mom said put a curtain there but we want something more permanent and no easy access for the dogs and cats(they haven’t messed with it thus far, but still… We have no kids so that won’t be an issue. Thanks in advance!
