Hi, I have an Indesit 15b1 and it won’t run a cycle. When I turn it on, I get a error code, 3 green solid, amber start light and red flashing salt light. Nothing about it in the manual, Indesit said the same thing....

I am using an old HP Pavillion 15 to make a tablet. I have all of the internal components, and am making a shell. Does anyone know what the easiest way to make a case for those parts would be?

So my roommate is a habitual cigarette smoker. He doesn’t smoke indoors (thankfully) but he does smoke about every other night outdoors. I don’t think he realizes that when he’s done smoking the smell sort of… lingers on him and his clothes. Last night after he was done he was in the kitchen for a bit cooking. I came in...

Hello everyone, I am pulling my home’s existing ethernet cables from the garage and into my home to install a network rack. Currently my garage does not have insulation (for a future project), so it get’s too hot during summer for my router to live there, so I want to install it in my mudroom where there is insulation. My...

I’m trying to learn how to sharpen scissors. I’m using a draw-filing technique. I’m not sure where I’m doing right or wrong. Anyone has any input? It’s a little better than it was but it’s definitely not as sharp as it could be. Gonna try attach some pics....

We’ve got a small log burner with a light grey stone surround....

Well, the dryer has been disassembled and vacuumed, the dead coil removed, the new coil swapped in, ready to reassemble as soon as the new belt arrives. I was surprised how much of the brown shmutz in the heater was just ash from the coils - it dusted off quite shiny after I replaced the coil....

I feel like I have a moral responsibility to attempt to repair anything before making it waste. So I’m trying my hand at the dryer. Sadly I didnt’ realize that the whole tub joint pops upwards so I detached the tub from the join and then found the join comes off pretty easy anyways....

Table top is four 50-pound bags of ready-mix grout concrete (no stone, just sand), 3m of 1m wide 1x2inch fence mesh....

Yes, now it looks like frankenshelf. Adds character. What do you think?

Hi everyone,...

I need to build one that can be used outdoors....

Let’s hear all about your progress. Don’t disappoint your judgmental internet buddies!

I have an unfinished basement. It would be a great place for a workshop but some hobbies don’t do well in a dusty environment. Would setting up an air purifier help? Even then I’m concerned it wouldn’t get the entire volume of air....

I’ve had this Vax upright for about 5 years. Recently it’s started to cut off when I’m using it. I feel the base - and it’s hot. Any ideas for anything that I can do to fix it?...

With how bad air quality has been this year, I grabbed myself a DIY AirGradient kit so I can monitor air quality in my living space. It was easy to assemble and only required a little bit of soldering knowledge. I’m definitely not proficient enough at soldering as many components ended up crooked on the board. Still works...

But at least no wrinkles after ironing…
