Hey everyone,

I just bought a new hose and I'm having trouble with my first install. It's spraying water directly out of the connection joint.

My setup:

• Valve: 3-way T-valve (3/8" size) male (link)

• Adapter: ABA Beul 15007.215.2 Hexagonal Reducer 1/2 Inch (male) x 3/8 Inch Brass (female) (link)

• Hose: 1/2" female hose (brand new, and the internal rubber washer is definitely inside the coupling) (link)

Despite the washer being in place, it just isn't sealing properly and leaks under pressure. Am I missing something? Did I bought the wrong adapter or a bad hose?

Wooden dining room table's gear to close it seized up. How does one get the gear working again?

I ordered these from Alibaba and as you can see, the longer acrylic panes have bowed in the middle. What is the best way (if any) to fix this. I've put something in the middle to stretch it and I think it has helped but not enough to eliminate it. I haven't done anything with temperature etc. Is it likely that this is just the way it is/it would slowly revert if I did unbend it?

Hoping for some advice on how to clean up this new gouge in my hardwood floor, please!

After moving, my LED sign (fake neon) no longer works and just flashes (see video above). Is there any way to fix this?

White heat marks on dark-stained Siberian larch table. Hair dryer hasn’t helped. Best repair?

Two hot pizzas were placed on our dining table with only baking/parchment paper underneath. They left the large cloudy white marks shown in the photos.

The seller described the table as dark-stained Siberian larch, approximately 45 mm thick. The surface has a rustic, textured finish with lighter grain showing through the dark colour.

Unfortunately, I don’t know what protective finish was applied over the stain: lacquer, polyurethane, oil, wax, or something else.

I’ve tried gentle heat from a hair dryer without any visible improvement.

I’d like to repair the marks myself while preserving the existing dark colour and texture.

What would you check or test first to identify the finish? Does this look like moisture blushing, or damage that needs refinishing? Would a blush remover be appropriate only after confirming the coating?

Advice from people who have repaired a similar finish would be appreciated.

Door knob gets stuck when I turn to the right, but not when I turn the left. Old door knob didn't do this. The problem seems to get better if I loosen the screws, but then it wobbles on the door. Help please!

Accidentially put a heated pot on the countertop and left some burning marks on it。 The countertop is actually a layer of plastic with pattern wraped on the wood plate (as shown in the second image). Could it be fixed?

Once I patch the hole I'm going to take care of the rust.

My wife put a heavier load in it, thought that might have been it. So I emptied it, and tried to rerun it empty. Still does the same thing. I'm kinda stumped, the more I read into it the longer and more complicated the potential problems seem to be. I don't have a shop vac or anything to easily drain it, and its gonna be a logistical nightmare to get it outside to drain. I assume it's the pump? I'm not really the handyman type, so I have to YouTube just about everything, and I'm afraid to start "tinkering", because well I'm just as liable to break something as take it off or put it back right. Plus everything I look up seems to relate to more modern Whirlpools and this is an older more manual one.

I accidentally dropped this metal piece from a table I was putting together. The circular openings are now bent so I can't attach it to the base. What would be the easiest way to un-bend the openings?

Edit: used some pliers to fix the bent parts, then shaved some parts off with a dremmel tool. It's not perfect (didn't necessarily need it to be) but it worked. Thanks yall!

Best way to make it look less noticeable?
