This black stuff is appearing across all the white painted wood trim around my house. Any idea what's causing this and how I can best remove to make it pure white again?

My first thought was some kind of algae, or maybe even frog eggs, but i swear I did not see it the day before. I'm pretty stumped. Any ideas?

I just had a system installed and the fan is pretty quiet, however it cam be heard as a low rumbling noise on the inside wall, and since its a bedroom it is a problem when sleeping. Does this mean why walls are extremely thin? Or is there something I can do to mitigate noise. There isn't much vibration going on.

They are popping up everywhere and I just want it to stop. Any ideas?

Previous owner built an extension onto the house about 5 years before I purchased, I keep finding issues. Last winter I had major ice dams in this specific corner of the home, once it melted all of the water found its way into the ceiling (and subsequently, my bed) right in this inside corner. Now we're getting heavy rainfall and the issue persists. Looks like it's this specific section that's causing water flow to miss the gutter entirely.

My roofing skills are minimal but I have funds for a DIY fix and enough patience to watch as many YouTube videos as I need to. What will it take to get this water directed into the gutters? Am I totally screwed?

I was gone for 2 mos. In that time, I didn't realize that my fridge died but it did. Now it has become this absolute mess and I don't know how to clean it. Any tips or is it a goner?

EDIT: It died because my roommate unplugged it (IDK WHY) So! It still "works" but that is what it looks like now.

I want to ask the landlord for a new fridge but I also don't know how to do that since technically it's "our fault".😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

am i cooked?

EDIT: I was asleep when it flew into my room and woke up because I heard some strange noises. When I saw it, I stepped out of my room for a moment, and when I came back, it was already on the floor. My cat had attacked it right as I was walking back in. Should I take my cat to the vet? My partner took the bat outside afterward, so I’m assuming it flew away.

This wall at my apartment complex is leaning but apartment manager says it’s not dangerous? How bad is it?

It’s gotten noticeably worse in the last few years. Bought the house in 22

One of these drains has the water softener & water heater connected and the other has the hvac connected. I'm pretty sure they connect to my sump pit right? I sometimes hear a slow drip going down from the furnace. I need a place to drain my dehumidifier, which drain is safer to use? I was leaning more towards the one that already has the water softener air gap.

Ive worked at the water department for 7 years and this is the first time running into something like this EDIT Im in Alabama and yes I know they are snakes lol idk what kind and im so not gonna touch them

I looked under my crawlspace and noticed that my floor joists were essentially just plywood. It would think that its not nearly as stable as a 2x6 or 2x10. However, the inspector did not note anything when we purchased the house. Does anyone know anything about this? Im located in the Midwest.

Thinking about just keeping it like this and making a bridge. What do you think?

I discovered this on our property. At first I thought it was just a religious stone, but it does not move or budge at all. Feels very solid almost as if it is a lid to something. But I just can't wrap my mind around why it would look like that if it was a lid to a sewer line or something. Any ideas?

I have a basement with an egress window about 4 or 5 feet below the ground with an access ladder/pit. Its on a slope and seems like it wouldn't take too much effort to dig out the dirt and create a walkout basement entrance.

Does anyone know how realistic this is? There are also electrical lines marked a few feet down the hill where the flag is. Could these be moved? Not sure how deep they would be but definitely don't want to hit them.

Appreciate it.

I live in a luxury apartment complex with shitty baseboard. My dog peed on the floor and I didn’t catch it for hours and this is the damage. I know that my landlord will charge me THOUSANDS to fix this based on how ridiculous my maintenance team is. Is there any way of repairing this on my own? If I hired a contractor for this service, what would a reasonable cost be for fixing this? Could I possibly repair/replace this myself with little to no experience in this area? Thank you!

I know the box says "interior," but what's the worst that can happen if I use this interior passage doorknob on a door that goes out into the balcony? It's under cover technically, so in my head, it's a gray area so I have to ask.

Why didn't I just buy an exterior one? Because I couldn't find any on the shelf at Lowe's.
