How do I go about fixing this? A while ago, I dropped the umbrella on the ground, it landed on the handle and split in two.

I have wood glue, but I don't know if using only that would be durable.

The two pieces still fit seamlessly. But due to continued use, the handle has smoothed off.

I also see that there is a screw that attaches the wooden handle to the metal part. Should I try to find a replacement handle?

(Sorry for the low quality photos, my camera is not so good...)

Long story short I have birds and one of their toy mirrors reflected off the sun and burnt this nasty looking mark in my sliding door frame. I got lucky. I just want to know how to fix this. Thanks!

When I took out our Halloween yard inflatable for the year, nothing happened. The lights inside turned on, but not the fan. I wanted to consider if maybe there was a way to save it instead of trashing it, and I found that the fans are pretty easy to replace.

I tried following the specs on the fan to find an appropriate replacement. 12V with 1.5A seemed to be the key, so I bought one. The replacements provided 5 lights instead of the three this one was designed for but hey, maybe that will light it up better! I take out the old fan, install the new one, plug it in in the garage and the fan roars to life, the lights turn on, and... the inflatable never fills up all the way. It's sagging and depressing. I spend 30 minutes looking for any air leaks, making sure the fan is secure, that everything is zipped up, I can't find any issues. And the entire time it doesn't fill up any further.

Maybe I got unlucky, so I return it, buy another one with the same specs, and look at plenty of reviews to see what people are saying and it looks like it's able to handle large inflatables well. I buy it, it comes in, I install it, plug it in... Same thing.

I don't get it. Am I missing something here? Is there an issue with the inflatable itself I'm overlooking? Do I just need to go for a more powerful fan? I would think as long as air is going in, it would at least eventually inflate to full size, but apparently, that's not the case.

Thoughts? Ideas? Should I let this one go and move on?

Tag says genuine leather! Looks at least 15 years old to me? Stiff and discoloured around the neck. Any advice on how revive it? I’ve heard about reconditioning leather but idk what’s needed for that.

I just bought this mirror, the quality was not what I was expecting. Is this fixable in this type of mirror? I don’t mind spending the money on the resilvering kits I just don’t want to mess this up. There’s three big streaks through it and some smaller streaks where the lady is. It looks like tape may have taken off some of the backing? Any advice would be helpful, I’m not sure I can return or get any money back for the purchase.

Hoping I can get some help removing a security tag from my jacket - I promise I bought it and did not steal it! I bought it at a college football game in a different state and didn't notice the tag was on it until I got home and live 1500 miles away so I can't take it back to the store. Any help is appreciated 🙏🏻 I can post a picture of the receipt if needed

Any advice?

I've tried hot water on the nozzles and turning them upside down. Any other tricks?

I bought a Pfister handle that looks like it would fit but it is too small?

We get pretty cold winters here (Michigan). The outside faucet is a frost-free type, and there is also a small shut-off valve on the pipe inside the basement. Every fall I just take the hose off and leave it. A neighbor told me I should also close the inside valve and open the outside faucet to drain it. Is that really needed with a frost-free one, or is taking the hose off enough? Anything else you do to get outside faucets ready for winter?

There is a broken piece inside the upper torso too. I think I need to open it but idk if there is a way without damaging it

Hi all, my washing machine started leaking underneath and suddenly the hot water in my shower is off/broke? What happened here?

I inherited this shoe brush made in Japan with this alligator handle. It was broken. I want to fix it but apparently super glue doesn’t work on it. Any idea on what kind of material this is or how to glue it? Thanks a lot!

Any tips on unlocking, water is draining but very slowly.

Hello, my grandpa has this black pair of boots that close up with a zipper, but it somehow broke. Like one side got out of the little thingy and as much as i try to push it back in the zipper will only move up and down on one side and get stuck on the other. I can put it in hardly but its not moving at all. Help please.

Screws pulled out. How do I fix this?

Hello! I have an automatic umbrella that only opens about 80% of the way, likely because this string that is meant to hold the umbrella in tension when fully open instead has some slack when opened. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks!
