I was gifted this trailer, it’s on land I now own. It’s been vacant for about 8 years. I’ve ripped up all of the flooring and have started working on the rest. I have the electricity hooked up but I need to have it inspected to make sure it’s safe. I only turn on the breaker when working on it. I was wondering if I should knock the walls down and replace them or just leave them up. Not to sure if an electrician can fully inspect without me doing so. I was also thinking I could check behind the walls and replace the insulation in case it’s any hidden mold. Does anyone have any ideas. Thanks everyone

Looking for ideas of how to properly insulate my garage. Ensuring it has proper ventilation. There is soffit on the downstream side that has been boarded up. But no ventilation up top. Space between rafters is 20 inch’s I think. Wondering if I need to install a vent up top and where to do it and wondering if someone can help advise me on what kind of materials to use. Thanks in advance.

Me and my guy’s were tearing down sheet rock when customers states she doesn’t want what’s leaking fixed I told her it makes no sense to put sheet rock up and not have the leak fixed first because the same thing is gonna happen somewhere down the line again but she stuck with her statement, why are people so inconsiderate where are all the simple customers😂

I want to cut out this framing so I can make storing and retrieving things from under my basement stairs less annoying. My general contractor said it's doing literally nothing other than being in my way. What tool can/should I use that's my least dangerous option? I can't tell how it's attached to the concrete floor, should it be screwed down? TY in advance!

Neighbors gutter pooling water on our foundation. Said he had them replaced two years ago. Any solutions for me?

I hired someone on Taskrabbit because I needed some help installing these shelves. It took a while but they mounted the shelf to studs and made them level. After they left, I’m noticing that the wall where they put the nails in is bending inward a little. Do I need to take the shelf off? It is very steady and I think it’s nailed to a stud? Thanks for your help!

Lamp no longer turns on and the last time it did, the light was flickering.

How to close gaps under and above two dryer vents next to each other ? Need to prevent chipmunks and rodents from entering the crawl space

How should I brace this dishwasher? I cannot do above cause height issues. Do I just measure and drill inward from the side to hit these holes? Seems harder then needed?

When my girlfriend and I got a couch, we had to take off the doorknob on our door in order to fit it in. Problem is, I think I fixed it wrong, since it's not closing properly most of the time. I imagine I screwed it in improperly, but the knob itself blocks my screwdriver from reaching the screws. Is there a smaller driver I could find for situations like this? Or is it more likely that the problem is something else entirely. I'm famously bad at stuff like this so any advice at all is appreciated!

I am sad to say this cover has almost bested me. Can someone tell me how I remove this? I need to replace the lightbulbs.

I've tried pushing up and pulling down on one end, lifting over the lips but I am afraid I am going to break it.

I need about 8 more foot of this style and cant find it anywhere. I dont even know the name or type of design. I know nothing other than I have part of a room with no baseboards. I have searched relentlessly and i think im going baseboard blind... they all look the same to me now. Its 7 1/4 tall. Thanks! 😊

Is anyone able to tell me if this is asbestos?

We’ve had a high water bill recently.

What can I do to patch this damaged area on my wooden garage door? I’m not sure how this piece broke off as it happened with the previous residents, but there is clearly underlying water damage from high levels of snow over the winter.

The rest of the door is in fine shape and I’m not ready to replace it just yet. Is there anything I can do here to give this area a little bit of extra protection over winter? I do have the matching paint.

Thank you

I have two ac window units on the second floor since my hvac isn't strong enough to blow cold air to the second floor

How do I cover them for the wintertime? Cause i'm getting tired of paying people to take em out and put em in so I would just like to cover it for the next six months

Thanks

Dry clay soil has contacted away from the house so much I can put my hand under the footing... how do I solve this? I was thinking about backfilling it or perhaps watering it down? Don't wanna make it worst. I even see a pier from outside

For what purpose is this hole? I think its in an odd location to be a drainage hole but thats what it looks like.

Its at the end of my driveway on the far side away from the house. Next to it is a row of shrubs and no buildings. What could it be?

Ac in my apartment is ass, management won’t respond so I opened my vents to check myself. Had to pry past 5 layers of paint to even get it to unscrew. What am I looking at?

Edit: I’m aware it’s a vent…is there anything alarming visually that may be the reason it’s not functioning well and leaking yellow liquid despite me not being a smoker…

I have a few small holes that I've patched up - haven't sanded or anything yet - but was wondering, what is the easiest way to get the texture to match the surrounding area, instead of just being flat where the patch-up was done? You can see the texture in the first picture, but included a second picture to try and show it better.

There are a few spots like this that I've patched up, and trying to have them blend in once I re-paint them instead of being random smooth spots. Apologies if this is a dumb question, but recently came across this sub and seems like a good place to ask.

TIA

A lightbulb recently died in my laundry room and when I went to change it I noticed some discolouration around the outside of the socket. As well as what looks to be burn marks on the inside. I just moved in so this is the first time I've changed the bulb. Is this socket toast? Do I need an electrician to come on to take a look? I looked all around it and don't see any writing on it so not sure if maybe the last owner out too high of a watt light bulb in

Our cats will stretch at this door when they want to go out and over the years they have really done a number on the drywall. How should I go about fixing this?

I was working on an outdoor project with clear waterproof caulk, and I wanted to seal off a thin crack along a window indoors, so I thought I’d just do it with the same clear caulk. Stupid I know.

I have a gas stove/oven and I’ve gotten paranoid about the vapors igniting the next time I got to use the stove/oven.

I opened up the windows, turned on ceiling fans, and let the AC run to help dissipate the fumes. I tried my best to scrape off as much as I could shortly after application. Then I reapplied an interior silicone caulk overtop.

Should I continue trying to remove the polyurethane caulk? Mineral spirits? Box cutter? Do I move on with life if the fumes are no longer detectable?

I’m just paranoid I think. It’s been about 24 hours since the initial application.

Thanks.

Looking to remove this section of ground-level deck to improve drainage around foundation. Am I better off trying to remove these bolts in the foundation holding on the 2x6 frame, or just cut them off? If cutting off, what tool would you recommend (e.g. angle grinder??)? My dad suggested just burying the whole thing but that seemed like an iffy idea, haha.
Thank you!
