We are remodeling and know we will be selling in the near future (couple of years).

What is more appealing to potential buyers in the master bath, a walk in shower or a tub?

Owning a house comes with way too much info!

It's amazing how much stuff you need to keep track of when you own a home. And somehow, when you actually need something, it's never where you thought you put it.

I decided to make something for that.

It's called House Bookmark. Basically, a digital binder for all the important details about your house, without having to dig through drawers or old emails.

I made a sample home you can explore without signing up: https://housebookmark.com

Scary crack in the ceiling? (3 photos; first for scale, others for detail)

House built in mid 1940s. Roof replaced 5 years ago with TPO membrane. Engineer-approved solar on the roof 2 years ago. This crack is new and scary to me. We have other cracks, but non bubbling like this. Anyone know if our ceiling is about to fall in? TIA

Edited to add: Do I call the roofer? The solar people? Or can I just fix the plaster and paint? (My first home... no one I know personally to ask.)

I am convinced I have been exposing them and they're going to develop mesothelioma.

Please put my anxious mind to ease?

I recently bought this house and I asked the realtor if this could be covered up and they werent much help. This is located in the guest bathroom. I guess I was just wondering if I should or shouldn't cover it up. Thanks for any help.

I had a leak for a while, called the roofer, he said there was a leak and that he fixed it. He charged me $599. I just went up to the roof and saw this. Is this a normal way to patch a roof?

All, I need help identifying if this black stuff on the vents is mold or something else, and if I should avoid renting this place because of it?

Mocked up a curtain look on our bare windows. Worth adding blocking before the walls get closed up?

2 Upvotes

First two pics are what we're working with right now. Last one is a render. I grabbed a curtain style from NeutralCurtains and placed it onto one of our windows to see how things might actually look once the room is finished.

We're mid renovation in a concrete building and the crew keeps asking if I want anything added before they fur out the walls and close everything up. Every window is right up against the neighboring building's stone wall so we get barely any light, which makes picking curtains a nightmare. Sheers would at least keep what little brightness we get but you'd still be staring at stone through fabric. Heavy curtains would block the view but then I'm just sitting in the dark all day. The layered rod plus Roman shade combo from the render is probably what I'll end up doing, but if I change my mind and go with a track later the bracket positions shift too. I can't commit to a setup right now so I'm thinking I just ask for a wide strip of blocking above each window to cover whatever I end up choosing. For those of you who went through a gut reno, did you bother adding blocking for curtain hardware or just anchor into the wall after everything was finished?

How concerning are these

Noticed this gap between the tile and the wall, inside of an ADU, outside wall seems cracked and also visibly warped outwards towards the bottom. Not willing to pull that "trim" to see if inside is actually also cracked , that gap can also fit a quarter, just didn't have one handy

House is also not level, chair rolls on its own towards that side / area

Bad foundation support posts

So unfortunately we found out the support posts along the center beam in our crawl space look like this. We don’t know what caused it. Age (1978 home)? Water damage? To our knowledge we haven’t had standing water. Wondering if anyone has experienced this and knows the cause.

Groundhog tunneled under crawlspace wall

Post image
2 Upvotes

In the corner of my 21'x12' crawlspace under my living room, a groundhog tunneled from outside underneath the cinder blocks and footing into my crawlspace. Hard to estimate the hole size without getting any closer to the hole. I have a structural engineer visit scheduled but in the meantime I'm curious what people familiar with foundation repairs think my remedy will end up being. Is this a small enough area to not be a structural concern and can just be backfilled, or will I likely need some sort of metal support or foam injection?

Relatively new homeowner in 3rd year in home and noticed these cracks forming in my basement around this drain pipe. Any info on what’s going on here, how bad it is, and what kind of specialist I might need to call in to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
