I have an overhead light in my bedroom that I absolutely despise. It's way too bright and it's right behind my phone/book/whatever when I'm lying in bed. We have other lights around the room, and so I'd like to replace it with someone else. I don't really want a ceiling fan there, but that's the only thing I can think of. Does anyone have suggestions of something fun to put in the center of a bedroom ceiling?

My bathroom tub fixtures have seen better days. Pretty sure they're original to the house (~60 years). We have fairly hard water, and the prior owners were not the best at maintenance so no clue how long these slow leaks have been going on. But the shower handle is stuck hard on the valve, and the bath spigot is crumbling away and similarly fused in place. Hot and cold come off easily.

Does anyone have any tips for freeing the one handle and spigot? I've tried light tapping with a mallet on the back of the handle to no avail. The spigot seems bound pretty tightly, to the point where I'm concerned about damaging the pipe if I apply too much torque.

As for the leaks, I haven't decided if I'm going to just replace the valves, or try fiddling with/replacing the packing nuts. This is my first time messing with plumbing, but either way seems straightforward enough after watching a few videos.

Any tips/tricks/suggestions appreciated, thanks!

Hi all,

I would like to install a door opener on my single panel jamb garage door

So for starter it seem hard to find brands that sell engine and accessory available for west europe.... (so, if you have any, fell free to share.)

My garage will be access by few peoples. therefore they need to have access but without being able to add or remove any other access..

So to start an external keypad might do.. and the engine should not have button that allow programming..

In the future I would like to be able to (trough Internet)

• open/close the door remotely
• add/remove code on the keypad
• add/remove remote control that are bind with the door.

I've found all-in-one solution but they are of course not FOSS¹..
So no thank you ! I would like to be able to connect easily a SBC or SBM²³

So if you have any clue or if you think of a Lemmy community that might fit this post, I'm all ears.

Thanks.
