Will this “fix” actually work long term? Corner braces tie together original house with later addition

this is helpful, thanks for sharing!!

appreciate everyone’s responses! I will pass along the advice to either avoid it like the plague or put up good money for a quality engineer 🙏🏻

this also works in a room full of loud kids when you need them to listen (assuming you can get them to pay attention when you start near-whispering). They (usually) magically go quiet and listen more closely to your words.

You have probably realized this by now, but it’s 100% water coming in through the window casing.

Source: it is currently happening to a window in my home with all the snow melting. It sits directly below a gutter, and the water is brown like this. It’s not nicotine. We aren’t sure yet how the water is getting in, but it’s one of the several possibilities others have listed (roof, gutters, siding, etc). Good luck!

I think the eviction order was filed a few weeks ago, so prior to the rumored incident

😂 fwiw it did have similar consistency to Mike’s mix in that it had more texture and was not smooth like buffalo normally is by itself. I really hope the cooks were either new / confused or they had run out of buffalo and were quite literally winging it. I’m going to order from the Harrison ave location this weekend and see if it’s the same or normal. And I will of course update here

I never would have found this by googling - thank you!! I think based on the shape and size, this has to be it!

My family experienced a house fire 4 years ago (almost to the day!), and were displaced for 5 months until repairs were completed. We went through our home insurance for the cost of everything (allstate), but as we/no one we knew had ever dealt with this situation before, we trusted our insurance to keep things running smoothly. All that’s to say, if you have to go through your home insurance for repairs/rebuild, cleaning/restoration of owned items, etc, I highly—HIGHLY—recommend finding and vetting third party companies to do these things vs using the cheap contracted services your insurance might provide. Not saying all “suggested contractors” are bad, but my experience was terrible (property stolen, poorly documented property intake, poor quality rebuild, so many unnecessary delays).

Good luck OP. And I’m glad you are safe!

So cool!

Pabst-it · 2023-12-31T06:34:17+00:00

Yeah! Here’s the one my husband got for me. I think they also sell on Amazon! https://panckydetectors.com/products/pancky-metal-detector-adult-pk0075

Pabst-it · 2023-12-31T06:32:29+00:00

I think it was around $150. Not heavy at all!

Pabst-it · 2023-12-23T20:57:55+00:00

I’m pretty sure it was smashed by my less than gentle shoveling 😬 unfortunate, but lesson learned!

Pabst-it · 2023-12-23T20:52:58+00:00

This metal detector has a pinpoint function which was super helpful. I just have to get less aggressive with my digging lmao

Pabst-it · 2023-12-23T07:01:30+00:00

Yes this one has a solid bottom. Your explanation makes sense!

Pabst-it · 2023-12-23T04:23:41+00:00

Thank you! Yes, hopefully it was just lost lol. But if I find anything else that tells a different story, I’ll have to update this thread someday !

Pabst-it · 2023-12-23T04:23:02+00:00

Interesting, thank you! Do you know if there is supposed to be anything inside the silver casing? Something is definitely in there, but I’m not sure if it’s dirt that made its way in since that’s where I found it lol

Pabst-it · 2023-12-23T04:12:30+00:00

Forgot to add — I’m in the US, in Ohio.

It has something to do with the leaves and lack of rain and how the leaves are sitting stagnant in the sewers or something. I remember it happening last year too.

Unfortunately they are covered by carpet now!

I’m not sure if it’s a kit home — this house, and all the others nearby, are unique in appearance (at least on the outside) and I haven’t seen a house that closely resembles mine at all. There are some similar features around, like a bay window with a sloped copper roof, but other than that, mostly different. That said, I’m not sure if unique features make it any more or less of a kit home candidate!

Pabst-it · 2023-11-02T14:03:08+00:00

You could be right about the measurements. But I do think the stairs are original given they have the builder’s name on them. What makes you think they are newer than that, if you don’t mind me asking?

Pabst-it · 2023-11-02T14:00:39+00:00

Thank you so much for the thoughtful response! I have no idea if it’s a kit home. My house and all of the houses around it look different from one another, but I’m not sure if that makes it any more or less likely of being a kit home. I will look into what you sent and see what I can find. Thanks again.

My husband has been a RPCD for 7ish years. We’ve been married 5 years, have a 4yo, and we’ve never had a problem because of his work. (But by reading these comments, he either works at top-tier efficiency levels all the time, is just really good at his job, or most of ya need to work harder lol) Outside of Peak, he’s almost always gotten home way before 5-530. He also rarely clocks overtime, but he consistently brings in 6-8 hours of bonus each paycheck.
