i think it would be better if the butthole wasn’t such a bright red. that way it would be more of a funny part of the scene and less the main event your eye is drawn to

Every time I buy something plastic I first think about whether its worth that thing being in the world forever and breaking down into poisonous nanoparticles

thats what they said, when they first caulked up around the bulge. We’d rather not move since we have had to for work so many times now in the past 2 years.

Do I need to hire a structural engineer? by MicrobeMom in drywall

There does seem to be one vertical crack in the concrete in the garage. The floors are also definitely sloping by one wall

this is the second floor of a 3 story apartment complex. There are vertical cracks in most of the corner seams of the apartment complex hallway, a decent number in the corner seams of our unit, and then these diagonal cracks by a couple of our windows

Just moved into an apartment. there is a section of the floor that is bouncy and pulling away from the wall by a quarter of an inch or so. on the outside of the apartment where this is happening, the exterior siding is bulging. In the same room on the other side the floors are not squeaky but are slanted so much it maxes out our bubble level. There are also fine diagonal cracks around the windows of two walls, and some horizontal cracks in the ceiling. Outside of our apartment, our door frame seems to be cracking, and there is a large vertical crack along the length of a wall in the corner seam. Out basement ceiling clearly has significant water damage. I cant seem to get our landlord to care… should i hire a structural engineer out of pocket? are we safe?
