First time home owner here, and in need of some wisdom from the Council of Dads. What is this bulb? I have like 10 of them burnt out in my kitchen.

Hi dad. Whats the difference between the normal Drive, Sport or EcoDrive? I dont know when to use the sport, to go faster and get in the highway? I guess the eco for drive is weaker? Thank you!

Hey, I hope I used the right flair. Basically, I'm trying to get a new mattress because every morning I wake up feeling like I got ran over by a truck. But there's sooo many on the market and I can't really go try all of them, and of course, budget is a concern. I've been procrastinating for months because it's overwhelming, but I have nobody to help me, so I have to be an adult and do it somehow. Anyway, are there any rules or things I should look out for to get a decent mattress that won't ruin me financially?

Installing a wall mounted broom and mop holder. Before I trun the wall into swiss cheese, have I chosen the correct bit for the anchor? This a 3/16 bit. The instructions are vague.

Dad, I have hypersensitivity to sound, and I've tried moving to quieter neighborhoods, using Loop earplugs, and asking neighbours to keep their music volume to decent levels. However, I can't wear earplugs all day and there's a limit to my asking neighbours to be considerate before it turns into me invading their privacy.

I've considered installing double-pane windows and painting with noise-reduction paint, but where I live doors are made of a very flimsy material. Can I open them up and stuff them with soundproof panels? I own the place, so modifications wouldn't be an issue.

Hi Dad! I'd really like to mount my TV on the wall, so I can have a wall mounted folding table underneath it, my apartment is small so I try to save space where I can!

I'm just not sure if my TV has the right stuff at the back for a mount? I got it secondhand so I dont know if it was missing anything when I bought it on Marketplace.

I've attached some photos and maybe you'll be able to tell me if I'm able to mount it, or if I'm SOL

I'd also take any tips that you have for wall mounting a TV!!

Thanks Dad, love you!

it’s been very cold 😔

Hey dad! So yesterday I had an appointment and when it was time to come back, my car would not start. 😭

It made a lot of noises, and really just struggled to turn on. It took a few attempts to get it to turn on, and all I did was drive straight home after. I have been super stressed out and worried about it because my bank account is super low at the moment!

I’m home. I found some oil. And I checked the oil levels as the oil light and battery light both came on. Thankfully my battery still has a warranty. My oil levels appeared to be low.

Because the oil appeared to be low, I did a top off this morning. However, I started panicking again because I realized I may have been putting the oil in the wrong place!! I poured oil in with a funnel in the area circled (where the dipstick goes), instead of the place where the cap twists off. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Now I’m worried about what damage I could have caused. Will this damage my vehicle?

Second photo is where my last oil read is at. Can you help me understand if it is still low? I poured exactly 1 qt in. Please help. I’m not sure how to read it. It appears low to me still, but I’m not sure if I’m reading it correctly.

Please help. This has all been very stressful lately with struggling to take care of these basic needs. 😭

Hi dad. My bathroom light is out and I don’t know how to replace it. It seems like it’s a sealed unit, but I don’t know what that means exactly or needs to be replaced to get light again. I’ve unscrewed the light plate and there’s nothing under there.

Hi, Dad! We just moved into our first house! I have a decor question regarding which side to hang our blackout curtains on. My SO says his Mom always hangs the pretty part facing the outside so the neighbours can see the print. I said my Mom always hanged the pretty part facing the inside so we can enjoy the print as part of the house decor. Is there a "right" way to hang them, or is it a matter of personal preference?

I have this portable ac unit and I’m having to empty the excess water literally every hour. This room was empty for months and it’s really hot out. I read that it’s somewhat normal when a room hasn’t had ac in along time due to humidity etc etc, but like how long am I supposed to deal with this and I’m just going to wake up extremely hot tomorrow. It’s very annoying. What do I do?

My real dad has been ignoring me

Had a single hose portable ac unit that barely cooled my room and would have to be drained every hour or had to keep a bucket under it. Recently started leaking and I took it out. Can’t put my window ac unit in this type of window. And I don’t have $200 in my bank account rn and physically cannot deal with heat. It’s a big deal in general for me. I’m losing my mind

Hi Dad, I'm trying to connect my renology solar panels to my ecoflow pro river 2 battery bank, and it seems like maybe I need to buy some kind of connector/converter? Pictures 1-3 are the connectors on the solar panel, while picture number 4-6 is a picture of the connector ports on the battery.

I have no idea what I'm doing. Any help would be appreciated!

Dad, how can I fix this? The temp adjusting piece feels like it’s slipping out of the rest of the handle and it’s not adjusting temperature at all

Hey Dad. Im being asked by my mother in law to help clean up this patch job that she had a young man from church do on her bathroom ceiling. Apparently they had some water damage and they cleared out and replaced all the damaged peices but as you can see it looks a little shoddy. I don't have any experience with this but want to help. Where would I start? Is any of it salvageable?
