Reply to Doorframe splitting apart, how to fix? by Makimba222
That piece is called the architrave and is not structurally significant, it only exists to hide the ugly join between the plaster and the door frame.
It is normally held on with small panel pins.

It's just the trim not being flush. You could try closing the gap by nailing it tighter. If that doesn't work or you lack the tools, you could simply run a bead of caulking and hide it.

Typically that trim piece is nailed onto the face of the surrounding wall, so if the edge of frame is not flush (frame is not as wide as the wall) then there will be a gap - it shouldn't be a functional issue though. As far as fixing it you'd need to shift the frame over which would be pretty big job and then you might have a gap on the other side of frame, lol. But also, is that a metal frame? It looks there is a bit of welding, which if that's the case, that's just the way it was put together and would be impractical to repair. I guess if it really bothers you, you could fill in gap with bondo and repaint it, but don't think that would be worth it.

Yup yup, I'm not really a confrontational person so when he said he couldn't do anything about it unless we paid for a new frame, I decided to come to reddit to see if there were other less costly solutions.

There's a gap between the trip and frame. The door itself is fine

It's hard to see, but it looks like the splitting off piece might be glued on? If so then can pry it off carefully and reglue? If not, then you could saw it off flush and glue on a new bar and repaint. Much cheaper than the whole new door frame.

I can't tell from pic what gap you are referring to - do you mean between the top of door and the frame, or a gap between the trim and frame?

Since you know so much about what my puppy needs and how I should be phrasing my posts, do you care to weigh in on how to fix the rug?

You did ask for it… by phrasing the question the way you did. Maybe next time, “Any suggestions on fixing ripped sections of a jute rug?”

Thank you, very helpful for fixing the issue. If I wanted advice on how to raise my puppy I would have asked for it

Set the record straight - your negligence is the reason for the ripped rug, not the destructive puppy. All puppy needs is proper training, plenty of exercise & positive crating.

Okay I guess it was assumed by me that talking about wiring a light fixture means doing a project but I'll be more specific next time.
I appreciate you taking the time to comment back to try to help me get on the right page.

There was nothing in your light post that indicated that you were doing a project, what the goal of the project was, and what your question was.
If you had posted pics of the fixture, stated what you were trying to accomplish, stated what you’d found from Googling, and stated what your specific problem was, it would be an acceptable post.

Yep definitely tracking on that first one, that one is on me.
The second one for the light fixture I tried to put in the body of the text that I'm rewiring this light and my question was about how to do that because of it missing a ballast.
There have been more examples but I've deleted them because I go through and delete a bunch of stuff off my Reddit every now and then.

One of your posts was asking where to buy a product. That’s not a DIY question.
The other was asking how your light fixture works. Also not a DIY question.
