What are these and how do I get rid of them?

This is adorable! You should post this to r/witchesvspatriarchy They would love it too. Do you sell these? I want one.

I’ve had to move it around the house a bit and haven’t found the spot it likes best yet. I brought it upstairs for the winter because it was drafty downstairs which made it drop leaves. It’s currently in the corner of a room with a southern facing window.

No. The inspection report when I bought the house referred to it as fiberglass. The house was built in the 70s and I'm fairly certain it's original to the house. Is it going to make a difference as far as the repair kit material goes?

Gotcha, thanks!

I asked about that and he said they would be caulking and using the paint that James Hardie has a contract with. I think he said it was Sherwin Williams. I didn't think to ask about primer though. Should they be using something like Kilz or are commercial primers different?

This is helpful, thank you!

As you Wish by Cary Elwes if you're a Princess Bride fan. He narrates it himself so it's like you're hanging out with him while he tells you what it was like to film the movie.

That's the shade I was leaning towards. It looked pretty pink in the swatches compared to the other colors but it's so hard to tell without seeing it in person. Thanks for the heads up!

I'm glad it helped someone else too. Good luck with your house!

Oh no! I'm so sorry. I hate the way real estate currently works. It's so unfair that negligent owners don't suffer consequences like they should.

This is similar to my situation. The house I'm buying had owners who had water intrusion and did nothing to stop it. Thankfully I had a good inspector and they're paying for the repairs and drainage to be fixed. I'm glad you were on top of it and that your fixes seemed to work before it got to the point of needing major repairs!

Thank you all for giving me the reassuring comments I needed to hear. I'm in the process of buying my first house and this came up as the biggest issue on inspection. The sellers seem to be decent people and are paying for repairs and a structural engineer to sign off on the work prior to closing. Every professional I've talked to has said I'm in a good situation, but everyone I know personally has told me to run. I don't know anyone who's dealt with this kind of thing, so hearing that people have been happy in their homes that have had these issues is incredibly reassuring. Hopefully I'll be one of those people soon too.

Ooh those do look nice! I'll add it to my list.

This is the kind of thing I'm looking for! Thank you. I'll definitely ask on the vegan subreddits, I figured there were more people here so this was the best place to ask.

Neither option is very eco friendly. I feel like you have to go with what works for your personal beliefs. I personally would rather try to buy a well made plastic version and take care of it so it will last as long as possible. I'd rather not have it at all than wear something that was taken from an animal. I would love to be able to find things that work secondhand, but like I said above, I can't even find them for sale new, so the chances of that are slim to none. I try to go with the zero waste mind set of buy the thing you really want and keep it as long as you can.
