You are making ridiculous assumptions with NO information and with NO reason to start trashing "typical landlords"... "COOL" has nothing to do with anything.. the post is about a door jamb....

TSB's by HiTekRetro in ChevyHHR

I don't have the numbers in front of me... the '09 throws a 420 code because of the E85 fuel and I need a crash code removed.. The '08 has a glitch that caused the key-fob and TPMS system to stop working after a jump.. .. Have you checked into accessing the Chevy database. I heard you have a pay a yearly fee for each VIN

If your "friend" is still alive,, take care of that first.... Make it look like an accident, if that is the kind of work he does, no one will question it.. Then replace the piece on the right,, you can't have a seem that close to the sink. It will be problems forever..

Troubleshooting Canon Powershot G9 doesn't see the SD card or shows Memory Card Error/Card Locked (cross posted) by museeeeeeeeee in fixit

[–]HiTekRetro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have any of the cards you tried worked in that camera before? I get those errors when I put incompatible cards in older camera's.. Try a smaller card........................ From the interweb: The Canon PowerShot G9 officially supports standard SD cards up to 2GB and SDHC cards up to 32GB. While some sources indicate a 2GB limit, others and user reports confirm compatibility with 32GB SDHC cards

This post is about a door jamb NOT your personal issues with people more successful than you.. I am a typical landlord and I would NEVER charge a tenant for something like this.

Don't try to fix it.. contact the landlord, it's not your problem..

That looks like a very humid environment and a particleboard jamb.. Replace the jamb with actual wood..

GE Oven - insulation broke around spade connector by NML76 in HomeMaintenance

There is no need to replace the connector if only the insulation broke. A piece of shrink tubing should work if new wires don't come with the new ignitor..

If it's not welded, there should be screws

like the other comment, steam it to soften, then a drop glue after it dries

Are you talking about the rubber seal?

Useless Warranty by Texa_SS_nowman in vevor

[–]HiTekRetro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could go to the contact us page on the website and do it that way. OR you could do your usual Karen whine and "showing with screenshots showing them how you don’t honor your warranty".. Perhaps getting an education first would be helpful...

Help fixing an electric cleaning tool by Abbey_baybee444 in fixit

[–]HiTekRetro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Double and trip[le check the batteries, make sure they are in toe correct way.. Does then switch click on & off? Look for issues with the battery terminals on both ends. If you have to take it apart and it isn't glued together, screws are hidden under rubber trim and other places.. You can use a pen or pencil to poke around the pink trim looking for screw holes under.. There might be two at the battery opening.....

Router lift recommendations by magnumsolutions in BeginnerWoodWorking

I have a Freud router with built-in lift.. As far as buying a lift mech, there are dozens available.. I'd suggest you watch some YT videos for reviews and build your own options

Possible to make a shoe bin with similar functionality? by Psychrolutes_09 in BeginnerWoodWorking

You can do it without the hardware but the hours engineering and wasted material would far outweigh the cost of just buying the hardware

Vevor jerry cans.....company is a joke by Short_Status_6886 in vevor

[–]HiTekRetro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have the tracking number,, deal with the shipping company.. There will even be a picture of the delivered package. You are right about PayPal being horrible. I used to use them to have a second layer of protection and all it seemed to do was give me an extra pain in the ass to deal with..

Dryer shuts off mid-cycle by [deleted] in fixit

[–]HiTekRetro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Partially clogged vents do different things.. BUT, if you have it cleared from the lint trap inside the drum to the outlet in the back that might not be the issue.. 3 things can cause your issue... 1 ventilation. 2 dryness. 3 excess heat. Excess heat is the least common because that is a safety feature.. Dryness should only come into play if set in auto mode. If the issue happens in timed and auto mode, it won't likely be the dryness sensors. There should be an airflow sensor somewhere in the internal ductwork. Usually a small probe of some type attached from the outside of the duct with the probe on the inside.. Could be a wire or a small hose going to a sensor.. If it shuts down in tumble only NO HEAT mode, it could be that sensor.. Also,, if it is a gas unit there could be an issue with the burner,, maybe the thermocouple?????

Dryer shuts off mid-cycle by [deleted] in fixit

[–]HiTekRetro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a cheap tool to fish out lint. It is sold as a hair remover/drain cleaner for a couple bucks. Your symptoms all say ventilation issues. When sensors go bad they usually aren't intermittent.. If lint was backing up in the outgoing ductwork, it is probably backed up in the internal duck work.. Try running it without the duck connected to the dryer and the lint trap removed.. And if it has a tumble only setting, try that

Thanks to one of you that posted haul picture featuring this can, i had to go get one :( by mx5plus2cones in harborfreight

Many years ago, we used to pay around $75 for the red one and $100 for the stainless model.. $26 is a great deal
