Why does my downspout look like this? It looks like water will have trouble flowing through and if there was any debris it would get caught.

Hey there,

New homeowner and I am trying to troubleshoot my HVAC system. I’m also a little concerned about something I saw.

We have a nest system Which our home inspector checked out a few weeks ago and it worked well. Today I am in my new home and I’m trying to turn the AC on and the nest is showing no power. I cannot seem to find any kind of switch on the handler. I went to check the breaker and the breaker is still on on for that specific switch. I also noticed possibly a burn mark on the handler and not sure how to approach all of this.

I plan to call an HVAC vendor on Monday however checking to see if anyone can help me here or give me some advice.

Thank you in advance!

Boys were fighting. One chucked a toy at the other and missed.

We just closed on our first home this week and plan to move in the next few weeks.

In our new kitchen, we have a cabinet like Area to put in our new fridge. The space is 24 inches deep (counter depth), 36 inches wide, 73 inches tall.

Due to the wall adjacent to the fridge area, I’m assuming I need to have a top freezer fridge with the door hinges on the left side.

I am struggling to find a fridge that can go in the space without jutting out 9 inches past the counter unless it is a counter depth fridge.

All the counter depth fridges I am seeing are around 17-18 cubic feet capacity. We are used to having a 21 cubic feet capacity fridge. We are a family of four and I like to do a lot of cooking.

Will losing 3 to 4 ft.³ drive me crazy? I do also plan to keep a secondary fridge in the garage so maybe it won’t be so bad?

New home owner here.

I was exploring in the crawlspace today and saw some old insulation falling down from the joists. I pushed them back into place and plan to go back with wire to secure but then realized I think the paper side should be facing UP towards the subfloor/living space, right?

Is there any situation where you would want the paper to be facing the ground/dirt? I am in Los Angeles CA for reference. Gets super hot during summer and will be having AC blasting soon.

TIA!

Looking to giveaway our aquarium due to move. It’s been well maintained and requesting you keep the three fish alive as well (betta, loach, and algae eater).
