DIY How to fix leaking faucet
I took off my faucet head since it started slightly leaking out the top a few weeks ago. When i put it back on it’s now leaking worse. Any easy way to fix this myself?

It just started happening in the downstairs master bedroom bathroom. It’s like a rattling noise in the wall and i can hear it in the living room too. I checked outside and don’t hear the noise but the AC is off as of right now. What could it be? Any help is appreciated.

Accidentally turned the garbage disposal on when there was a shot glass down in it. I got the bigger chunks of glass out, but it appears the disposal is jammed up so I can't get it to break up any little leftover bits of glass. Do I need to be calling a plumber? My disposal has a reset button on it, which I pressed, and it didn't do anything. There is no manual crank.
I just can't suck it out. I've tried pouring hot water on it but still doesn't work.
Before going on vacation, she put it "somewhere obvious". However, neither of us were able to find the car keys again! It isn‘t in the usual places that would come to mind.

How do I open these to clean them? They were attached to the hood above a stove.

A glass shard from my screen protector pierced and went in my thumb a few days ago, we tried to get it out in the moment but to no avail. I can no longer see it but can still see where it pierced and can feel it, how can I get it out?
I was running a wire in my attic and my left AirPod fell out somewhere in an area of insulation in my attic. It was too hot that day to keep looking and my “find my AirPod” tool isn’t working anymore. I’ve tried a metal detector but it didn’t pick it up. I’d rifled around with my hands but nothing came out of that. I tried a metal scoop with holes and shoveled a bunch of the insulation around but no luck. I tried to chop it with the side of a piece of cardboard. I Know that it fell out somewhere in this particular area, but I can’t find the little pod. Any advice is appreciated!
Update: Used my daughter’s magnet. The kind that picks up little metal rings. It worked pretty well on the right AirPod when I tested it. I spent about 45 minutes in the attic (over 100 degrees here) and swept the area I thought it fell out. I went up and down and all around with that magnet and not hits. I think I’m gonna call off the search. I’ve already spent too much time and literal sweat finding these. Maybe I’ll get a good deal on Black Friday…

My washer has been leaking and I finally found the issue, the black hose by the front filter has been cut. It looks like the bold washer cut it:
Does that bolt need to be tighten rec and flush with the floor?
Anyone know what that black hose is called?

I used Felt Right strips in my daughter’s room-I loved the flowers on the wall but now that we are moving, I have discovered that removing the adhesive squares they come up with is impossible. I have watched the video of how to do it a million times-and simply put that’s not at all how it actually works. I have tried lots of different scrapper tools, goo be gone, and sandpaper-all have helped some but the texture is still stubborn-any ideas of other things to try? I obviously will need to repaint the wall which is fine but I am afraid if I try to just paint over it will make it worse…thank you for any help/ideas.

My wife wants me to hang some suspending chairs she bought in these trees. What was be the best way to go about this? I was thinking eye snap hooks, with a chain and chain quick links to hang them from.

Is it possible to remove a bubble on the surface of a metal keychain at home? Is it possible at all?
I recently bought a Lycanroc keychain as part of my growing (recently started) Pokémon collection. It caught my eye. It was cheap. I bought it.
I can't complain about its condition because everything is smooth and dazzly aside from the bubble, it's pissing me off 😭

Is it anyway to fix this? It needs to be waterproof, I think If I just sew it it will get him wet if he sits on the floor (which he does) thank you.

This is mostly a North American design.I cannot for the life of remove this inner piece of a non-functional window handle to replace it with another one. I have replaced a bunch of these around these but I cannot get this one out.
I know at the center there is a metal piece sticking out with teeth for the replacement part to sit on.
Any guesses on how to get this out without damaging the window mechanisms underneath.

Small leak at the main line. I think at one of the unions. What's the best way to fix/replace it?

This AC is set in a staircase and sits lower than the upstairs floor. It blows at the most to the top two stairs and that's it.
Now you might think "heat rises up, what's the issue". Somehow it does not spread to our upstairs. We have a lovely heated/cooled staircase though...
How do I direct the airflow upwards so I doesn't hit the stairs?
I tried cardboard last winter but I'd like to have something nicer looking and fixed.

I know this isn't difficult, but I've never done it and my brain is making it hard for me to understand the instructions.
The questions:
How do I know if I have good resin? (I just bought a beginners kit on Amazon)
How do I suspend something in a small mold? ( Like a small object in a pyramid)
The story (if you want additional context):
I had my gallbladder removed recently and the surgeon very kindly snuck me one of the gallstones to add to my rock collection, because I thought it was funny.
I've already cleaned and sanitized it and put a thin layer of modge podge on it, but now I want to suspend it in resin to preserve it.
I can't seem to understand the instructions, and now I'm worried I bought the wrong stuff, and normally I'm a "what the hell, let's go for it and figure it out" kinda person when my brain gets like this, but I've only got the one gallstone and I don't want to screw it up.
Thank you in advance for any advice.

Our garage disposal leaks when it is very full from the top. Upon inspection it looks like the ring is degraded in back. What’s the best way to do a replacement of the ring since it doesn’t seem like it’s a disposal problem.

I've had this trailer for 20 years and finally have a flat tire. I cannot for the life of me get this dust cover off. I tried a crowbar, torch, hammer and chisel but nothing, not even budging, it's completely seized on.
Do they make a special tool for something like this?
