#fixmystuff #needadvice I had a pipe burst on me, and my AC vents are on the floor. I was half awake when we managed to get the water shut off so I wasn't sure how much water got into the AC vent.
How do I get rid of the mold smell if I can't get to the water inside the vents?
@HesperaSmith it might be worth hollering out & having a look through the #fixmystuff hashtag. You never know, there might be a friendly neighbourhood bike mechanic out there in the fediverse :>
FYI
If you use Scrivener for Mac and for iOS and it won't back up from your iPad to Dropbox, you might have run into the same thing as me: my iOS version updated, but my desktop version didn't, and the weren't talking.
You'll have to either update your desktop to version 3 (SO GOOD!) or talk to tech support.
Good news: if you win #nanowrimo you get 50% off Scrivener 3!
so #fixmystuff any idea how to straighten up a slightly clanging radiator pipe? it doesn't sound like it's banging against anything, more like a kind of rhythmic tapping, increasing / decreasing in speed as the heat comes on / goes off. sounds like those pipes are under the floorboards and not connected directly to the radiators
@nico what if we actually did /different/ hashtags so that people who need help can find help and helpers can find people who need help. right now the hashtag is reeeaally skewed towards helpers
proposal hashtags: #icanfix and #iwantfix. then you can also have #fixmystuff for browsing them together

#fixmystuff Located in West End, Brisbane, Australia, I have a small amount of tools that I am happy to share, and some knowledge about computers. I have fixed many pushbikes, an old printer and many screens that just needed a capacitor replacement. I know there is a #repairCafe happening monthly at Turnstyles but I haven't gotten around to checking it out yet.
I can lend a hand with #fixMyStuff if you are in the Tacoma/Seattle area and don't mind assistance from someone who will probably be looking stuff up on the internet

@Morgan@cybre.space For the can-do attitude and the willingness to help a world where most things feel broken, you (and also everyone else who is a part of #fixmystuff ) deserve this Gargy Award!
