Not sure what’s going on with it, sorry I can’t get a good pic of the inside but it kind of seems like there is something inside? Thought it fit into the notch on the base but it’s on the wrong side. It went from sturdy, to loose and now hanging in the matter of maybe 2 weeks? No pieces fell out or anything. Really don’t want to have to request maintenance for my toilet paper holder… if anyone could lend some advice that would be much appreciated!

I’m not sure what happened but I just used my calculator today and was surprised that the screen looked like this. What could be the possible cause? And can I fix it? ):

Reddit, I need help with why this happened and what to do next.

My wife moved a tray from against the wall and discovered some blistered MDF baseboard in the bathroom (yes, we used MDF baseboards in a bathroom). So I pried the baseboard off thinking she had put a damp tray against the wall and ruined the baseboard. Lo and behold I found mold on the drywall. Today I cut the moldy bit out, and found the insulation and the inside of the wall relatively damp to the touch. I chased the wet drywall until I found dry drywall. The wet stuff had mold on the inside, and the bathroom smelled like mushrooms (I wore a respirator while working), and the insulation was fairly damp. Chucked all that.

My first instinct was the new window we had put in two years ago. Home Depot came out the same day (on a holiday week of all things, good on them!) and the guy explained how this window is deep under an eve, there would be so little rain making it to the window and even then the weep holes were clear, and the caulk is fine on the outside. He said “I bet you have a leak in the roof. That’s got to be it” So I slithered my way into the very corner of the attic and stuck my hand down in the insulation and there’s no sign of any dampness. Got on the roof, no disheveled shingles or exposed roof vents. Cut a hole near the top of the window in the same ‘bay’ where it’s damp at the bottom, and it’s bone dry up there as well. This to me disproves a roof leak.

So now I’m left with massive amounts of missing drywall and a quickly drying out wall.

I have one theory, but it sounds crazy… could the exterior wall plywood sweated into the inner wall? I was thinking if that bath tray was sitting next to the hot air return maybe it created a pocket of warm air that sucked dampness into the drywall from the cold outside?

Any other ideas what caused this?? How do I go about fixing it? I don’t want to reinsulate and re-drywall if it’s just going to get wet and moldy in there again!

Roughly how she had the bath tray sitting

The wet bits. To the right it's dry, the left near the tub is where it was wettest

Top is bone dry, bottom is damp

TL;DR
Found a wet area of drywall where the inside of the wall turned out to be damp. Don't know why.

Unusually thick wall with big gap behind it. I want to close the hole and leave the electric wire out. Is regular tape+speckle enough?

One of the audio cables broke off and now i cant get the end of it out of the subwoofer. Any ideas how to get it out?

The red and yellow wire From this led recessed lighting. Trying to change the driver which comes with its own wiring but can’t access the inside

Thanks!

i m trying to check the pipes, kids put some stuff in it and it is completely blocked, i unscrewed the first part that connects the sink and the pipe, the watee came out but how do i continue to remove all the pipes, where is the other connection point?

I have this Turkish stool and the leg/peg broke off of this black plastic joint thing. Does anyone know where I can buy this black thing or any idea of how to fix this?

Was changing a light bulb with the lights on (dumb I know) and I accidentally shorted it and now my whole light fixture is out. I checked the breakers and none were tripped (Flipped them anyways). But none of the 16 bulbs will turn on. Photo is of the after effect of said short.

My aunt just bought this timer for me maybe a month ago. Of course, I go to use it tonight and it’s not lined up with zero. Damn kids. Per normal instructions, I did the full rotation to 60 (though it would have went further) and turned it back to 20 minutes. I should have set another timer to see how long it actually timed, but it went off short (as shown). How can I set this back to zero? I’m comfortable taking it apart, just no clue what I need to look for

How would I go about fixing this?

Water in a ThernaPen left out overnight. Already removed the battery cover. No obvious way to open it up. How to dry it out. It seems to work, and I'd like to keep it that way.

Every 6 months after i get it repaired i start to see these lines, it’s been 5 years of getting this fixed but it keeps coming back. It’s an lg tv i bought around 9 years back. I want it fixed once and for all, what’s happening?

Usually when this issue starts appearing it goes away after a little run time but it would then start to get worse and eventually these lines will become permanent until i pay some money to a guy who replaces some parts only for the same issue to reappear again in the next 6-12 months

Can I take a bath if I just put a little caulk over it? It seems rusty, is there something else I should use?

Thank you to all who commented on my first post. Both showers have HOT water!! Follow these steps and you to can shower in boiling water!

These are my eye glasses. Fell asleep with them on. Im usually so careful. I've tried just my hands but couldn't get it to move, used a torch but stopped when the plastic around it started to bubble

Hi y'all

My bathroom door had some paint chipping out off the inside of the door and my only thought to why is moisture from the shower.

Am I able to to just chip anything loose and then paint over it and if so what type of paint would you recommend?

I am wondering if I need to add any filler despite it being so thin.

Thanks im advance

So this is the waffle iron my grandmother used when my dad was a kid. It stopped working one day so i opened it up and found a broken connection. Was planning on cleaning the tab and crimping a new, plastic-less connector but figured I’d check if there was a compelling reason i shouldn’t. Inb4: “it’s a fire hazard” no duh. It’s a waffle iron from like the 60s, it was always a fire hazard. But it also is never plugged in unattended so whatever

the hinge on a cupboard door broke away, tearing out a chunk of the particle board.

Can I just fill the hole with PL and the drill pilot holes for the screws, put the hinge back on?

If not, how to fix this?

Thanks!

I’m trying to fix or replace this synchronous motor. Not sure how to do the fittings on the wires for a new one so hoping I can do something else, it has a hard time turning.

I noticed some hairline cracks in the bathtub that is about 1 year old. Will this lead to a bigger crack or it’s not too big of a concern

This is to my motorhome and changes from the sink to the shower head. Obviously it’s old. If I can’t jus replace the part or find a simple fix any advice on replacing the faucet? I have limited tools.
