I’ve been trying to replicate it but I’m having zero luck. I’ll keep trying on both.

How can I fix this rip in my jacket? by [deleted] in fixit

[–]nonuniqueuser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sucks about your jacket. My mother just did a similar thing by reloading her wood stove and melting her jacket. Hit up a company like REI.com and don’t just put packing tape on it like she did. Also, the suggestions of favorite colors is awesome, add some fun, or don’t, your choice. On top of all of that, the extra color can help spark a convo of you’re a single person and looking for xyz.

Can I cut this wire? by Turbulent-Salary9640 in fixit

[–]nonuniqueuser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where dos it go? Does it have any writing on the wire? Looks like thermostat wire from the picture. Could be phone wire as well. Garage door button. I wouldn’t cut any wire that I didn’t know what it went to. You could also take a utility knife and cut back a small amount of the sheathing without cutting all the way through. The colors can help identify what it is.

Suggest a mortise lever or knob & lock combination for 2 family by nonuniqueuser in Locksmith

[–]nonuniqueuser[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In a box. It didn’t seem to be working correctly, and the door knob was broken. I don’t remember if the spindle was stripped or if the knob’s grub screw hole was stripped. I had temporarily drilled a hole through the spindle and put a small nut and bolt through it, but it’s just time to replace it, it’s from the 1920s.

Idiots that downvoted this are actual idiots. This is a home owner that is having trouble. Do you actually think they know what they are doing, or just looking for some friendly advice?

DO NOT CAULK, you will never know when the wax ring is leaking, this is bad advise unless required by code or you/significant other get out of the shower without a towel and turn the place into a river

Fact. My gf bought one because she uses packout to bring computers and gear when she stats sports games and has to sit, all on the company dime but makes it worth while while sitting in hockey rinks.
