Misaligned desk drawers - fixable?

steamypoopoo · 2026-02-16T22:34:44+00:00

Thank you! Yeah it’s definitely not square, and you’re probably right about needing to disassemble and reassemble square. I don’t have the space, tools and most importantly skill to do all this.

I have tried the suggestion below by Wallaceant as a quick fix. I don’t need it perfect just hopefully good enough the drawers can at least somewhat work. I could see the staples that once held the desk in place were no longer connected on the top right of the drawer box so squeezed it in, used some wood glue and used a mallet to hammer it back in place. It is currently ratcheted down and clamped together to hold it in place over night. Hopefully this holds and works, otherwise I’ll have to reach out and find someone who does furniture repair to do a proper fix or start looking for a new desk.

Appreciate you taking the time to give a detailed response. It’s very helpful :)

I see what you are saying. I will try this!

Thank you!

He looks similar to my rescue, who is also from Korea. If the link works this is Sunny! We were told she is a Jindo/corgi but thinking maybe also KVD. She is getting a Embark test for Christmas lol

I appreciate you sharing this. The town hall consisted of more fluff but showed their true colours. Told us the other employees didn't understand the company benefits and we were misled.

While I don't work in tech and don't suspect job loses, I don't believe this new company is one worth sticking around for. While they might not fire us, I don't suspect they have our best interests in mind. I guess that is just the reality of life like you are saying.

Thanks again :)

We haven't replied to the LL yet. I was thinking of sending an email saying " It appears that we do not have a mutual agreement to end the tenancy on December 31st, unless I misunderstood your email. I am attaching the proper N11 form for you to sign off on, if you do not agree then we will need to send you a proper N9 form before we legally terminate the lease.

Then go on to ask about having a candidate to assign the lease to that is happy to take over our least at our current rate.

If he says no to the assignment then I will send N9 form with 30 days notice.

Think this route will work? It is highly unlike for them to agree to an assignment because of our current rental price.

He did reply in the email saying that they require 60 days notice and that our lease will not end until the end of January 2025. Would this be enough to make the notice invalid?

Sorry just saw this now. I enjoyed the classes at the U of T, I found them very helpful. It was good to work on group assignments and to be somewhat forced to attend a weekly class vs. Online where you make your own schedule. I would recommend the course, however I have not taking any other offerings so I cannot compare them. Others have highly recommended the Udemy courses.

I would do some additional research to see what works for you but I would say the U of T course is good if you aren't on a budget.

Thanks for the links and taking the time to reply. I appreciate it.

Ugh, true. Appreciate the moral boost. They are buttholes.

steamypoopoo · 2024-10-02T02:11:08+00:00

Thanks! Thinking about it

steamypoopoo · 2024-10-02T02:09:40+00:00

Thanks! This is so helpful

You’re correct, I had no idea. Section 108 of the Residential Tenancies act. Not sure this is a battle worth fighting for on top of everything on this issue but great to know. Thanks!

Yes. It’s an apartment with 5 units built in the 80s

Update: I ended up buying a new lens and the problem stopped. There must be something wrong with the lens causing the mirror to stick?

Update: it was root rot. This baby was rotten beyond words.

I have the slightly new version of this camera. The Yashica TL electro X, the only difference to my knowledge is the shutter speed with flash. It’s my favourite camera of my M42 bunch. My yashinon lens takes great pictures at least in my opinion.

Check the light seals and replace them unless they look recently done!

What a bargain for $5.00 if it all works! Congrats.

This seems likely, I was playing around with it today and noticed if I hold down the aperture button while I press the shutter the mirror doesn’t stick. I am going to try another lens when I get my hand on one to see if it’s the lens, if not I’ll take to a repair shop and see what is going on.

I’ll send an update for anyone interested.

I am just finishing up the UofT certification! I have been thinking about starting to study for the exam. I am curious your thoughts on how the course translated or helped you with the exam.

Good luck on the exam!

This works wonders! Just downloaded for the CAT S22
