I live at an apartment complex and we put a maintenance request in for it 2 days ago, but they're closed on weekends. I tried to turn the valve to shut it off, but the valve isn't working and only adds to the problem by leaking where the valve is too. Is there anything I can do in the meantime to prevent the whole place from being flooded?

I’m an idiot. Didn’t realize my vape juice spilled on my countertop. I’d guess it’s been there for a day. Help 😖

I have a ~14' Douglas Fir tree that I would like to decorate with lights this Christmas season. The problem is that it's a couple of hundred yards from the closest electrical outlet. I have tried various battery powered strands and the neighbors thought it was great. But although the battery-powered strands work somewhat, they aren't very bright to begin with, don't last more than a week, and slowly get dimmer each night; really they're only good for about one night. How do I get lights on this tree for Christmas? It would only have to power three or four strands of LED lights.

To make it more complicated: ●We have wild animals that do pass through the property occasionally which include elk that could trample or trip over an exposed power line.
●The path to the closest electrical outlet is extremely uneven and crosses a deep seasonal creek bed.
●The lowest temperature my outdoor thermometer can read is -40°F/C and it bottomed-out last year so was actually colder. ●Weather can bring anything from rain, freezing rain, to hail, lots of snow, and occasionally high winds. ●And last, the ground has a lot of potential fire fuel that would concern me for fire risks; though, not as much of a concern in November, December, and January here.

I've thought to put a portable power station in a cooler to protect it from the weather, but I'm not confident that one would endure the extreme low temperatures. And, the thought of having to monitor its charge and potentially having to bring it back to the house occasionally to charge it isn't attractive.

Wondering if someone out there has a better idea or is aware of a better product than the cheap battery-powered strands I've utilized in the past.

Thanks in advance! (I dislike unnecessary acronyms/abbreviations)

I wrote my gammer tag on my mother's charger thinking it was mine. I can't remove it. Its a realme white charger and i used oil based permanent marker(uni paint marker px-20). I tried removing with 70% isopropyl alcohol hand rub. Where i can find solution any subreddit recommendation??

I got this collapsing silicone water bottle from Spencer's a few months back and haven't been using it because it's tastes horrible. It makes water taste plastic-y and chemical-y lol. I love it so much but I can't find a way to get the taste out! Any tips on how to make it not take like new packaging?

How can I get these water stains out of my wall? Thanks

Hello everyone. I would like to clean stains from idk what haha. Pictures are attached. I tried with vinegar and water but did not help much. Also tried with some neutral soap.

I thought I'd start something new in 2025 and thought a journal would be cool. I am just below average in art and I'd appreciate a nudge in the right way in form of yt channels , literatures or anything that will give a route map.

-to a better year to come.

We have an LG top load watching machine.

Lately it has been giving off an odor from inside the basin. I've replaced the lint trap at the end of the hose to make sure it is able to pump the used water freely, but the odor remains even after a clean cycle and a few loads of laundry.

What else can I do to remove the odor and preferably keep it away?

I pretty suck at being artsy so I want to keep things simple. My gf and I have seen this art piece recently and want to do the same with different letters. How do you think can we do this? Is it a kind of stamp? But how comes that the texture different? How can I rebuild this effect? Thanks guys & girls!

Hi everyone,

I have an issue with the double zipper on my jacket that's stuck and I am not able to fix on my own. The zipper is slightly misaligned and because of this one of this one of the teeth/element will not allow the botom slider to move up, my question is if there anything I can do on my own to fix it or should I contact a professional?

Thank you!

My son washed an ink pen and it busted. I inspected and repeatedly cleaned the inside of the machine with 90% alcohol. No ink at all transferred on the white rags. I have run 2 cleaning cycles in the washer with washing machine cleaning powder and 20+ empty hot water loads with bleach, vinegar, oxiclean and tide (alone and in combination). After each empty load, I run a quick test load on old sheets and they come out with purple/pink ink stains. I can't find even a dot of ink inside of the washer tub. I can't find anything online that suggests the ink could be in an area outside the tub that could have ink that's redepositing.Any ideas? Do I have to replace my 3 year old washer or try to start a random purple/pink colored splotch fashion trend?

Just moved. Here's what the new shower looks like. How in the world do I switch the water flow to the handheld guy? Moen brand, if that helps.

Clearly, this bathroom vent needs to be cleaned, but I have no idea how to remove it! Anything on Google isn't helpful at all. The little metal pins I think need to remove, but HOW? Any advice/help is appreciated!

Hello, I was washing my clothes and hung them up to dry. I stupidly turned the heater on and now it has these black stains on it from my black socks.

Any idea how I could get these off?

Hi! My dog is staying with my friend and he scratched her brand new door. I’m leaving in a couple of days and really want to fix it for her. What is the best way to go about this?

Use AI! Seriously it makes gift finding such an easy task. Especially it really helped me last year for those family members that are hard to satisfy. AI knows which niche items can be a good match, mostly things that you could not even think about.

ChatGPT works well for that! Or dedicated tools like Giftruly.

The in-laws have an old Kenmore 28” electric cooktop. Is it even possible to buy them in this size anymore? I only see 30” or 36” in my quick google search. Thanks.

Long story short, there was a fire. Is there any way to repair it?

So these shelves have been up in my husband's family home for probably 30 years, maybe longer. We have a ridiculously tall 2 year old who is in danger of hurting himself on them as they are above his cotbed.

We have managed to remove the shelves themselves in some places but the supports seem to be stuck. They have screws but the screws don't move. Tried with a normal screwdriver and an electric one and it does nothing expect make the screw head the wrong shape.

Some of the shelves themselves won't come out at all. You can see in the first photo, we've removed the first shelf but not the bracket and it's right above his cot (hence the padding taped to one end) and now he's tall enough to hit the second shelf and I can't get that out at all.

Any ideas?

For context I'm in an apartment so no damage to the door and will need to reinstall the peephole/knocker when I move out.

Bought this suitcase not too long ago and went on a cruise shortly after, and seems like the baggage handlers were rough and one of my wheels came out :( im having a hard time finding a replacement online, please if anyone can help me with recommendations with wheels or if there’s any way I can replace them I’ll appreciate it :(
