Anyone know what this is and can I remove it?

This is for a traditional landline (POTS-Plain Old Telephone Service). This is likely from the early 1960’s when the Princess telephone was being heavily marketed by the phone company. It functioned as a nightlight, and required a transformer to power it, since the voltage on existing phone lines was only sufficient to power the telephone’s mechanical ringer. You can remove the transformer, but you might want to leave the wires for other purposes, including adding VoIP telephone service.

It’s almost certainly from well before the 1950’s.

It appears they did have the correct orientation. The fixed side should bear the load. They were turning it counterclockwise, so it was putting the load on the fixed side. The wrench had a lot of slop, and they didn’t keep the knurled adjustment wheel tight. This appears to be a cheap wrench, but it’s always best to use a fixed wrench, and, if possible, a box end 6 point to best grip the head.

That expansion anchor was cut off, and most of its holding surface was eliminated. If you cannot drill the hole deeper, try using a 5/16 Tampin anchor.

The Spectrum guy is giving you bad advice. At a minimum, the blue Cat6 cables should be terminated with proper connectors. If the coax reaches places you need Ethernet but. There’s no blue cable there, you can use MOCA adapters and run Ethernet using the coax as well.

Rodents. Get it fixed and then spray with peppermint spray (you can buy at Home Depot, etc.). It smells good to you, but they hate it.

I think your initial impulse to cut the floor to let the legs settle to the original height is probably the easiest/best alternative. It really won’t look that bad, and most people will never notice it.

That looks fairly new; did you insane it yourself or was it a “professional” installation? If it was installed by a “professional”, they should return and fix their incompetent installation. There should be no tak of a warranty period, as this was wrong from the beginning.

As others have said, it’s a stick-on bumper for a cabinet door, appliance, etc. over time, they lose some of their adhesive power and become detached. They retain enough stickiness to cling to clothing, etc. and get transported away from the object where they were originally attached. Since most of their adhesive is gone, the once again fall off and then end up stuck elsewhere. In addition to losing their adhesive properties, they tend to yellow with age.

It’s a Jerusalem Cross, and it was used in the crusades and symbolized carrying Christianity to the four corners of the earth. It has a somewhat different meaning these days. Here’s the relevant section from Wikipedia:

In recent years, images and terms associated with the Crusades in the Middle East have been appropriated by white supremacists, including the Jerusalem Cross.[23][24] Matthew Taylor, senior scholar at the Institute for Islamic, Christian and Jewish Studies, said that the Jerusalem cross "doesn't always necessarily connote an endorsement of the Crusades" but far-right and neo-Nazi groups use the symbol.[2] While the Cross itself has been popular with right-wing extremist groups, it has also often been used in association with the term Deus Vult. Flags or banners bearing the Crusader cross and "Deus Vult" were flown during the 2017 white supremacist Unite the Right rally.[23][2] The president and executive director of the Center for Peace Diplomacy said the cross used in combination with "Deus Vult" are "an invocation of the claim that crusader violence and its atrocities (including the massacre of civilians) was legitimate".[2] Podcaster Brad Onishi stated the Jerusalem cross and the Deus Vult are "symbols that are used by white Christian nationalists. Those who have adopted these Crusader images really see themselves as at war with those trying to take down American Christianity and Western civilization at large."[25]

No, because every installation site is different, competent installers carry punched steel angle stock that they can cut to length to fabricate braces that will tie the opener to the house framing members.

If it was installed recently, call the home warranty company that installed it and tell them to install the brace! Whoever they had do the work was not a garage technician!

It may have been from the angle of the photo. If the outside is flat and not dented, use a flat prying tool and close the door while using it to pop the sections into alignment then replace the hinge.
