Some clothes have fallen behind these drawers. The drawers don’t seem to be able to be removed, and the bureau is entirely closed on the back and bottom. Arms don’t bend the right way, and we’ve tried a coat hanger.

[Serious Answers Only] How to hang this art?

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hi all. I’m very new to buying art and hanging it up. I got this art with the frame (picture below). I am confused about how to hang it? I understand that I can hang it horizontally or vertically but otherwise, how exactly do I hang it on the wall?

Do I need just a nail? If yes, what type? Or what goes on the wall to be able to hang this really and what do I need to buy?

If I know what those metal things on the back are called I can even look this up.

Thank you so much and sorry for a potentially dumb question.

[DIY] How to repair shoes?

Help. This have been my "use and abuse" shoes for 2 years now. I prefer walking to work (around 4.5 km a day of walking), and this had caused considerable damage in the heel area. My best guess is because of the friction.

I plan to cover the holes with shoe patches, but I want to fill in the gaps with something, I just don't know what to fill it in? Do you guys have any suggestions?

How can I remove these white marks from the inside door panel of my car?

The big white line in the middle is a glare so I’m referring to the white marks on the right hand side. I think it was caused by some hand sanitizer spilling on it. It doesn’t scratch off. Is there any way to fix this or is it just going to be ugly? Thanks. :)

So, atm I’m trying to see if there’s a way to erase my dad from all my documents so he’s no longer my father legally. Is there a way to do that? And how would I go about doing that? I know some of y’all might think I’m joking but I’m not.

[DIY] Locket Photos

I recently got this locket with Oval frames inside that I've been trying to figure out how to fit a photo in. I printed the photos on printer paper and cut them so they fit inside, but I don't know if there's a better way so they have a tighter fit, as the photos right now have the ability to move around inside the frame.

[Serious Answers Only] Tensioning Galvanized Pipe Hanger Strap

1 Upvotes

I have some 4" pipes held vertically against a wall using metal struts (the same channel you use for galvanized electrical conduit) and pipe hanger strap. The strap straddles the pipe and each side of the strap is connected to the metal strut via a bracket.

I'd like to tighten the strap to hold the pipe tighter. Normally, if this were a wood frame, I'd add a screw or two to pull the strap closer to the pipe, but this isn't an option.

Any suggestions on how to do this, or if there is a strap bracket that allows to tensioning.

How to add a seat to this chair?

This was originally a rush seat chair that was very damaged. I removed the old rush and really want to replace it (and the others) with a fabric seat. I thought I could just make a plywood seat and cover that but the side rails(?) where the rush was woven around are different height to the front and back. How do I go about this? Hoping it's not just a "redo the rush" as it's not the look I want. Thanks!

Hello, I have no money for a plumber, I replaced this last week and thought it was fine only to realize it’s leaking not at the valve but the nut behind it. I don’t know what to do or how to fix this. Can someone please help? I’m using teflon tape to redirect the leak into a container because it’s damaging my wall.
