No, because the bottom edge of the hole where the screw should go is just empty space. There isn't anything to wedge the dowel into in the normal way. Though perhaps I could drill a bigger hole and try inserting a dowel that way.

My bathroom door doesn't close properly and I finally investigated why last night. The issue seems to be that the strike plate was far too low and the latch wasn't actually engaging. Easy enough to fix except that where the screws should go to hold the strike plate has been thoroughly chewed up...

Yeah I looked at it for another minute and decided it was a foolish question. I'm annoyed that I managed to do it in the first place. I drilled the holes through the skirting first and then marked the wall with the screw ends before I drilled the wall, but once the screws were tightened up it...

It was very easy to scrape off in the end. I suppose that's one advantage of using gloss paint on the skirting boards by mistake.

So I've just finished screwing the skirting board to a brick wall and filling in the screw holes etc. but at this late stage have realised I've left too much of a gap between it and the flooring. Should I caulk it or ignore it? It's about 5mm I'd say.

What about this? Not exactly the same but it has a similar shape. https://cherishedbliss.com/diy-modern-outdoor-chair-free-plans/

I tried the straight acetone nail polish remover and it seemed to have zero effect. It's mostly cured by now so I was able to peel most of it off. Cleaning up the bits where it's oozed out might be a different story, but I expect a knife will do it. Just laughing at myself really. I seem to...

Every time I decide to use spray foam I convince myself that I won't need plastic gloves. Every time I am wrong. Why do I do this to myself? Now to wait for the stickiness to go away so I can peel it off...

I finally got around to taking the loose tile off and it appears it was dot and dabbed as predicted. So that no doubt explains why the other two cracked. Should I try to squeeze some adhesive behind the adjoining tiles or will it make any difference? Should I apply some kind of sealant to the...

So what do I need to do to fix it? I'm not sure what I need to buy.

The stick in the wall might be a good way to go. After all that's how the original door frame is attached to the brick wall.

There is a frame attached to the floor underneath those tiles and I added another support under the outside corner myself. That end has been sealed with silicone now. The whole bath is a bit of a cock up to be honest. I measured up before all the old tiles came off not realising how much extra...

I had my bathroom tiled over the summer. A week before Christmas I noticed that one of the tiles by the bath is loose, and a couple of tiles have hairline cracks. Of course the tiler did not respond to my attempts to contact him so I need to fix it myself. The tiler grouted between the bath...

Alas that's the verdict. I like this machine and how simple it is but it turns out the circuit board is fried and it costs more to get a new part than a new machine.

I don't think it has any kind of features like that. It's a pretty simple machine and about 15 years old.

I've already drained it and checked the filters. There's really no need for all the jacking up and tilting on this machine -- it drains quite easily. Alas that was not the issue. It will drain just fine.

I wouldn't say they are womanly concerns in particular, but I can't be bothered to yank the machine out and take it apart right now.

What's around the rest of the garden? Was there anything on the spot before? Slight possibility that there's something below the ground surface that is retaining water but I imagine Conny is right and the water table is very high where you are.

Amazing. Love a good recycling project.

It doesn't have error codes or flashing anything.
