Hired a roofer to waterproof my chimney
Hey all, I went up to check out the work of the roofer and I’m a little concerned with my findings. Should I remove this caulk or is this actually a decent job
Any ideas?
Is this toilet sound considered problematic?
I’m having some septic problems and am wondering if this toilet sound is alarming? I just moved into the house and started to see some problems with the septic draining outside as well
Should I get a new system ?
Went to get a sewer scope, the sewage pipes in my house were dripping a little bit, so I assumed I had a clog.
The tech opened the drain and water came rushing back into our basement. One tech probed the field and he said it was definitely moist but didn’t see any black sludge.
One company wants to pump it again, even though it was pumped in June and redo the scope, another pretty much said I need a new system..
Just bought house like 2 weeks ago and sellers only provided records of the 12/2/2022 incident
Help fixing metal smell and taste (well)
Hello all… Any suggestions to fix this? I have Well water.
Water smells like metal/coins in the shower and I can taste it.
Current setup is a water boss 900. The water feels very slippery during showers so I think my softener is taking care of hardness well.

Radon company sealed my sump pit

.5 iron and metal taste/smell
Hello all,my iron is at .5ppm, I was quoted a $2500 system to combat this iron. It is a water softener/iron filtration system that uses salt. Does this seem like a reasonable amount to pay for such problems that I’m having?
Worth replacing this cast iron?1965 house, scared to even get an estimate

Found mold during home inspection
Hey all, looking at buying this house. There was a water backup claim from the sump pump 5 years ago. This is in the basement utility room near the sump pit. We were thinking about asking for a $2k credit but now I’m wondering if we should get a mold inspection on it and ask for more.

Buying home should we back out/ ask credit for this?
Hey all, was looking to buy a home they had it advertised as circuit breakers, while technically they do have 1 circuit breaker it’s clearly a fuse box

Will $3100 a month = house poor?
Hey all, my wife and I make about $132,000 gross. After taxes we’re down to $110,000. For debt we have a $235 student loan and $600 car payment.
After closing we would have about $50k in savings.
I know our lender has already approved us and everything but I’m just a bit nervous of making the jump from our $1500 a month rent to $3100 seems like a big pill to swallow. We are also hesitant to pay off the debts since we will only have $50k left for furniture repairs and some renovations/upgrades.

$3100=PITI
No kids
Will get 1 dog if we buy
$132k was 2025 income, 2026 projected income is $150k gross
Student loan and car payment will be paid off in 4.5 years
Paying off debt would put us under 20 percent leading to PMI insurance
Any chance PT is enough? Last dislocated 04/2025
Hey all, first dislocation 07/2017, second 02/2018,
Third 04/2025…my first two dislocations I felt back to normal after PT,
After this most recent dislocation I feel 90 percent, I have good range of motion but it seems like there is some kind of nerve irritation now that makes my forearm feel tight and my hand swollen.
Anyone in a similar position I’d love to hear if PT helped you avoid surgery or if I should bite the bullet
Tight Forearm-hand feels swollen
