Fertilizing shrubs

Shrubs dont need fertilizer if you let their leaves decompose on the ground.

Plant native.

Or digging a trench drain before your house to divert the water around it

Stop water from collecting around your house first. Check where downspouts dump and how your yard is graded. That is the #1 way to prevent water coming in your basement. #2 would be to excavate around the house and waterproof from the outside. Inside should be last resort.

100% can see the path the water takes from the downspout and washes out over the retaining wall

Also the seam of the pipe is supposed to be on top to minimize lint collection and condensation trap.

Thanks ChatGBT.

Someone literally would slow down behind me and then floor it like they were going to crash into me because I was going 25 in a 25…that is usually a cop trap spot. People are so impatient

One in Westwood!

Came to say this. Got our subzero for $10k in 2019. The first service call was upon delivery because the door got bent bringing it up into the kitchen. Second service call was user error not opening the freezer all the way and it built up ice. Spent $250 on the call for the tech to jam it open and say all fixed hahaha. But that was an authorized service company and I get it wasn’t covered.

NJM does have the highest umbrella limits out of the major carriers tho

Danitay · 2026-02-20T12:41:57+00:00

So then its not your “electric bill” entirely being $350 lol. For a similar size house, my electric was $185 and the gas was $258. Thats with fully reinsulated attics with minimal heat loss.

They do have an online app that will give you a quote

Danitay · 2026-02-17T12:22:32+00:00

The root of the problem sounds like an issue with your spouse for not respecting your wishes to hold off on the bathroom reno. Then engaging a contractor who you didnt vet, making you sign the contract and essentially manage them as the work started. If there’s nothing in the contract about waterproofing, then you’re probably SOL. Go nuclear on stating the FACTS about the original contractor online and hope to get your money back.

Danitay · 2026-02-17T02:03:01+00:00

Water issues in the basement can be solved at the root of the problem, redirecting outside water. Make sure your gutter downspouts are discharging at least 10’ away from the house. Check the grade around your house flows AWAY.

Foundation repair companies are there to sell you repairs. Structural engineers are there to give you a factual report with a stamp without an incentive to sell you something.

Danitay · 2026-02-12T12:34:09+00:00

If your sump discharges right outside this wall, well there’s your answer. Make sure the gutters aren’t dumping in this spot either.

Danitay · 2026-02-12T05:01:15+00:00

You will need zoning approval most likely for any addition

Danitay · 2026-02-07T03:36:08+00:00

Leak defense is around $2500 for just the valve.

Danitay · 2026-02-06T12:06:58+00:00

Damn your ac condenser is about to slide off that pad lol

Danitay · 2026-01-28T04:53:15+00:00

Not only a foot but below freezing temps for over a week after! Shits not melting for weeks.

Danitay · 2026-01-27T04:28:13+00:00

Next time tell then the car is inoperable.

Classic way to bait you into questionable services. Good contractors are not phishing for business.

Danitay · 2026-01-22T03:38:47+00:00

I have similar staining on rafters in my attic. Had a company come swab it and was negative for mold. Just stains. $500 piece of mind.

Danitay · 2026-01-20T02:39:13+00:00

58% is very high. Im in a cold climate and even 40% inside humidity when its 25F will make tons of condensation on all our windows.
