I put these all in late October. I watered them everyday for the first month.

They now seem To be dying one by one. It was just two of them turning brown at first but obviously more are.

Seems weird that a fully healthy looking one can be right next to a completely dead one but (spoiler) I’m no green thumb.

Anyway, should i put in a constant drip line to try and save/reenforce the ones that are still green or is it possible thats just a bad spot for them and they are all going to dir eventually?

After 4 years, I have two very small/slow leaks on either side of the flow sensor (red arrows showing). Leak is coming from the joint on each side, so I guess wasn’t glued enough or this just happens over time.

Anyway, sounds like proper way is to cut stuff out and redo, but how feasible is that for a DIY project? It seems like this is tricky bc it’s right after the salt cell and right before an elbow and involves the flow sensor.

Can you explain like I’m 5 how I would tackle this? Or if it is rather complicated and a pro should do it, feel free to tell me that too.

First pic is damage I just noticed today. No idea when it happened or how it happened. 2nd photo is other side showing what it should look like.

I’m only one who drives it, so it had to be someone hitting me when I was parked somewhere and not leaving a note or anything.

That white piece being so bent inward makes me think something thin smashed into it bc theres no damage to the light above it. Bumper below it does have a crack, so maybe another cars bumper just hit with enough force to crack bumper and push that piece inward?

Any sleuths have a better reasoning for what might have happened here?

FWIW, I can access the bent white part from underneath the car but I imagine it would be hard for me to bend it back into place like on the other side.

I noticed a leak (one drop every 3-4 seconds or so) by my salt cell. Watch the system start up this morning to see where leak came from and it’s from that spot circled in red. It started small bubbling there and then a drop seeped out. This piece has the flow sensor on it.
How do I fix this? Do I have to take it apart and reglue or can I add something to that spot?
The flow sensor segment is already small, not sure I can cut it smaller.
Is a leak like this okay to have until I fix it or does it need to be fixed ASAP?

Pool is 4 years old and just noticed this leak by the salt cell. What’s best way to fix this? Do I add more caulk like stuff to the joint or would that not be enough

This door handle has become loose, especially the bottom part but there are no visible screws for the bottom part.

Do I have to take off the opposite handle? Is that somehow connected to this handle and how it’s tightened?

Pretty big crack in driveway. Can I fill this with sika flex self leveling sealant? If so should I add backer rod first so it’s not as deep? Or is that not a good solution for driveway cracks?

Concrete was put in about 9 months ago right before pool was closed. Just opened the pool and this black stuff is making a mess. If it gets wet it spreads all over. It blows in the pool too.
I assume my concrete guy cheaped out on me but not sure, maybe it’s common?
Regardless, 2nd pic shows how it’s not that deep before the styrofoam-like backer rod. Can I clear all this black stuff out and use some sort of sealant instead so it’s not so messy?
If so, is it an easy DIY?

I had a concrete company put in new concrete around the pool and they used this sand like black stuff in the gap between the coping and concrete.

Thought it was normal (and may still be) but when it gets wet it moves around out of the crack so easily and creates a mess. Is there maybe something I can put on top of it to keep it in place better? Like caulk or something?

2019 Honda Ridgleline. Slowly getting bigger. Is this something I can do my self? Don’t need it to look perfect. Amazon sells paints that say it matches.
If I go that route, how do I prep this area? Do I sand away the brittle edges? Or just paint right over it?
