An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Just bought my first home and still unpacking.

The list of things to fix is ever growing. The bathroom vanity latch is the first one the list!

We're hoping to renovate but in the meantime one door won't open (latch) and two mirrors shake when you open them.

Latch is an easy fix. Got parts locally. Replaced the broken one. Wife loves the loud strong click. Wants them all upgraded. Good thing I bought upgrades too. So they're all new now. Shame they're not tan but the click is good.

The mirrors are peeling off the wood. Uninstalled, glued and reinstalled.

Glued them up, put weight on it overnight to cure. Cardboard under the mirrors to protect them. Wood to direct pressure and tools to weigh it down.

Thanks! Wife wasn't impressed...

I mean they're still dated and worn down but now they work like new!

Costs me $6 in parts since I had everything else too.
