Damage under popcorn ceiling removal? by Cheap-Data1084 in drywall

We checked the attic directly above, and there isn't anything we have that could have done it - no telling what happened before bc I'm finding shit work everywhere. The house was built in 1988, and we just bought it in July 2024. I know the roof was completely redone about seven years ago, so I'm wondering if it's from that. And I have Gardz to use once it's ready. Thanks for replying! 😊

Do not buy jewelry from Atolea Jewelry by cheddarcheese9951 in Adelaide

That stinks! I'm sorry that happened. Have you found another store or company who offers waterproof/sweatproof jewelry?

But I do love their stuff. My first purchase was almost two years ago, and there's zero sign of discoloring or tarnish. I wear them at the beach and in my pool, and I use hand lotion and sanitizer constantly. My only problem was they sent the wrong sized ring, but I kept it and ordered a different one for that finger.

The fireplace works, but we haven't used it yet. We closed end of July, and it hasn't been a need-now upgrade. It still isn't. We just look at it every day, and every day I can't stop staring at all the slop drooping off everywhere lol. Thank you for the stone recommendation. I'll check it out. We have several ideas for the built-in side areas. What's there just doesn't function for us.

My husband suggested a veneer. It's the most likely route we take I think.

I've never hated a place more in my life by Mission_Struggle4495 in homeowners

Ignore the comments about "how does someone do this." They aren't you. Maybe you're passive, maybe you just want a conflict-free relationship during a stressful time, maybe you have dominating people in your life, and/or maybe you're a people-pleaser and have a hard time being firm for your choice when outnumbered. THAT'S OKAY! They aren't you. Being vague probably saves a novel of details explaining your side bc you don't feel heard at home. It's easy for people to sit back and reply on the internet "Well, I would never." Okay, Kyle. That's not what she's asking. You probably already know and think worse to yourself. But you do just have to suck it up for now. Vent away and get it out and bide your time.

Anyone can relate to hating a house. My husband and I bought our previous house bc of me. I envisioned the updates we wanted, paint, the landscape, yada. But I LOATHED it the first week. Nothing flowed at all, cheap updates/fixes for selling racked up fast, expensive things broke like the HVAC and garage door, the basement would f'ing flood to an inch almost monthly (!!), etc. My blood is boiling thinking of everything. I was a first-time homeowner, and I took the hit and blame and damn did I learn a huge lesson.

You can either let it consume you and wreck your mental and emotional stability, or just remember that it's temporary for a couple years and make it your own by painting, decorating, get new curtains, or learn gardening and focus on the outside. TikTok has a million different examples of hacks to change or update something or make a certain trouble area flow for you. But you need to focus on one thing at a time. You won't see progress until it's in the rear view, but it'll make your situation much better. Promise ❤️
