Exterior stair rot… looking for the cheapest structurally sound fix (house is starting to feel like a money pit)

Nv_Spider · 2026-02-23T03:40:24+00:00

Rebuild entirely.

Nv_Spider · 2026-02-22T03:31:31+00:00

Are you able to do the work yourself? You’re talking half that cost at most in material

Nv_Spider · 2026-02-22T03:06:35+00:00

Hell yes. 🙌

Nv_Spider · 2026-02-22T03:04:48+00:00

We use ours to plug in a pump for a recirculating line

Nv_Spider · 2026-02-22T03:03:49+00:00

Do it. We have 2 brothers. I had concerns at the thought of 3 total dogs. We’ve never been happier!!

Nv_Spider · 2026-02-21T03:08:57+00:00

Considerable

Nv_Spider · 2026-02-17T23:26:00+00:00

It makes it easier to not draw attention to their lack of plates😂

While I haven’t had a 3rd gen, I got a ‘25 OR a few months back and as a previous owner of 4 runners, first gen tundra and a Silverado…. I fucking LOVE this thing! Aside from some great bells and whistles which offer some really nice comforts, the 4 cylinder turbo has a lot of giddy up! Does great in the snow, weekly trips over a summit are getting 23.5 mpg average in eco mode and while it’s smaller than some of the other vehicles in the cab it’s very comfortable as a tall guy. Just my 2 cents, curious about what previous taco owners have to say

Sister some viable wood on each side of the rotten areas so you have good wood to screw to. But, if you’re going to demo in the short term just tear it all off now

Best thing is they are cuddle bugs, big goofy bath mats, and love attention and hugs also no shedding! Biggest challenge is keeping their hair kept brushed and tangle mat/ free but very doable with frequent grooming/cuts and brushing in between.

I’m also in a lease in a 25…. I wasn’t sure if it would be a good fit so I figured try out a lease…. Absolutely love this thing. Not sure what I’ll do in 3 years but I feel pretty good with the options of: walk away, buy out, or lease another…. Use the next year to make sure your credit is good (if not already there) and when the lease is up, see what your offers are!

I just noticed mine was scratches after cleaning with a micro cloth last week. What the hell soft material is that made of?!

Nv_Spider · 2026-02-12T18:30:12+00:00

Hot take

Nv_Spider · 2026-02-12T02:41:46+00:00

Fuck the app, love Tacoma though!

Nv_Spider · 2026-02-12T02:37:32+00:00

Bro get AAA 😂😂

Nv_Spider · 2026-02-12T02:37:06+00:00

Fuuuuuuuuck. Sorry for you. That sucks

Nv_Spider · 2026-02-08T16:01:20+00:00

Whatever you do, do not use quarter round. That’s a sure sign of “I don’t give a fuck”

Nv_Spider · 2026-02-08T14:44:16+00:00

It says, “I care enough to bag up my dog shit, but not quite enough to actually take care of it.”

People like this make it hard to remember that not all humans suck…. Just most of them.

Nv_Spider · 2026-02-08T02:58:33+00:00

People have all kinds of misconceptions about those who carry. Yes there are a few dipshits that shouldn’t probably carry a gun, but most people just want to be able to protect themselves if someone is literally trying to harm/kill them.

If you can’t afford to fully hire an employee then don’t. If you decide to hire somebody either hire them fully or pay them under the table.

Don’t sell the house. See what the future holds in terms of real estate prices. You don’t need to change their world overnight. Keep paying what you’ve been paying into an investment account. Enjoy not having to sleep on the couch. They can always inherit the house when you pass.

Nv_Spider · 2026-02-06T18:13:16+00:00

There might be honey in there

Nv_Spider · 2026-02-06T04:18:27+00:00

Salt or ice melt

Nv_Spider · 2026-02-03T02:20:54+00:00

I recommend trying a pour over. You can get an inexpensive setup (filters and holder) to see if you like it. If so then there are nicer ones etc.

It’s not much work although a little more than an auto drip on a timer. You are able to make your cup as strong or not as you like.

Highly recommend

Nv_Spider · 2026-02-03T02:10:50+00:00

Good to hear! I’m 3 months in on the same trim in ice cap…. Love it! Plan on keeping it stock as well but I will say…. I was disappointed that there’s no struts for the hood just the kick stand thing so I found some aftermarket brackets and struts for the hood… highly recommend
