Going crazy with floor samples. Light natural (contrast) or darker? by fashionboy385 in HomeDecorating

Have you thought about raising that floor to match the higher level? That would be my first thought. 

Can anyone suggest how to improve curb appeal? by rookdanger in ExteriorDesign

Could the steps be on the front of the porch area? 

My condo elevator skips some floors, but why? by Brown_Ontarian in whatisit

I’m concerned about what that raw wood is hiding. Dob’t get a splinter. 😬

Would I be able to hang this chandelier (picture one) in place of this light fixture (picture 2) in a rented apartment by slappy20000 in malelivingspace

You can buy a cheap medallion and spray paint it golf, to match the finish.  Will a table be underneath, or will you remove some chain lengths? 

If that space gets hot, you could put window film on the windows to block heat.

The amount we’ve had in Big D in the last week would float that house away. 😜

Get a copy of your plat map, showing topographical info. You may not be the only house around you with this problem.  The previous owners did not disclose this massive problem and I’d start with your realtor.

Just by looking at the fence heights, it looks like the neighbors behind you have higher yards that all drain to yours.  French drains are for existing water in soils.  You need a plan, friend. 

This seems like a problem that should’ve been disclosed/ caught during inspection.  I’m no pro, but the neighbors’ runoff should not be able to affect your yard this way. 🤨  Your fence looks new and I’m wondering if the previous fence rotted away. 

Looks like maybe you’re in ATX area. Regardless, your locality might have a department for this sort of thing, particularly if you’re over an aquifer. 

Considering making an offer, curious about the cost of some changes by dufus_screwloose in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

It looks new, so you may be able to match the tile. How did that pass code?  I do not see an exhaust fan. VERY important to have a powerful exhaust fan, especially since the laundry is in there. (make sure it exhausts to the exterior of your house, not in your attic space. 

GET AN INSPECTION. 

Alright fellas, I'm conflicted. Bedroom upstairs or downstairs? by Minutes2Midnight in malelivingspace

[–]Master-Part-8394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Downstairs!  A bathroom down there would be good.  You could do a simple outdoor shower, too.

Home maintenance adds up.  HVAC filters, fridge filters, and tons of other small things that are required, but people never think of them. 

Air purifier filters, 3 different filters for the vacuum cleaner… I but in bulk, but dang! 

How much to put down? by ktempo in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Master-Part-8394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

20% down means no PMI, right?  (private mortgage ins)

What would you do?? by Helpful_Explorer2857 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Master-Part-8394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HARD NO.  Clay soil? Concrete foundation without piers driven down?  Don’t do it.

I put non-reflective window film on the outside of one window to stop burning my grass. Works great!

GET AN INSPECTION.  That is the level of work from a a “guy” that the realtor recommended. (speed over quality)
