Someone in my mom’s building was giving this away. I grabbed it and threw it in the truck and came home. Only after arriving back did I notice it needed wires. I have an adapter that fits it but looks like it may have had an external receiver. Is that true and if so readily available?

I don’t want to use hard wires because based on my home layout there’s a lot of potential for my dog or one of my kids to trip, or worse, knock down the Xbox.

Thoughts? Next steps?

Hello everyone. I’m about 6 years into first time home ownership and this is our first issue with water problems.

So we’ve been trying to trace water leaking from the ceiling recessed lights in my kitchen directly below our main (and only) full bath on the floor above.

I had already removed the light to check(power off, etc) but couldn’t trace the source or what was causing it. Today, I tried to run a few tests

1. I filled the tub completely and let it sit for about an hour. Nothing.
2. I drained the full tub and watched for 15-20 mins. Nothing.
3. I ran the shower pointed directly at the run floor and drain for 10-15 mins while my wife watched. Nothing.
4. I then ran the shower for another 15 mins intentionally making a mess, spraying the grout where the tub meets the wall and also where it met the floor. Waited 30ish mins downstairs watching the light and nothing
5. Finally, I went and took a shower, and within 5 mins, the Mrs sent my kids up to tell me there was water coming out of the light!

So, something about my weight in the tub is causing this. Is that a fair assumption?

Also, I was able to identify the wet spot in the downstairs ceiling where it was initiating and flowing to the light.

Could this be as simple as something like putty between the drain and the tub wearing out, or, one of the seals?

Welcome any advice on next steps.

I’m about to cut the ceiling at that spot, assuming the Sheetrocks needs to go anyway and to dry up the wood.

Found in my son’s room. Couldn’t get a better picture because I needed to act fast. Doesn’t scurry with light or sound, but did obviously when I tried to kill it and missed the first time. He just moved a bit and then stopped. Got the little guy eventually

I’ve seen a couple of them in the house over the past few days. Mainly outside by the bins.

In New England

Noticed my paint peeling and drywall rotting on a small strip next to the tub and door. Started to cut and found water damage and that the stud is soft and rotted. Also see clear black mold. What’re my next steps here?

I’m going to call someone Monday morning and not try and tackle this myself. Also wondering what this will set me back. I’m on New England for reference.

As the title says. It’ll be here until tomorrow. A lot of artwork, small furniture, baby stuff, etc.

ROSEMARY LANE (it’s a small dead end street) off pleasant just before tall oaks apt.

DM me for any details or just come take what you want.

Hello friends -

I have a bit of a conundrum. This morning, while waiting in the drive through line, the muffler fell off due to rust.

The truck is a 2011 sv with 200k on it. It owes us nothing. We mainly use it solely for the dog and Home Depot runs and have another family vehicle (gx) for our day to day.

What am I looking at price wise to get this fixed? Can it just be welded back on? Can I just live with it??
