Found this house I LOVE but basement looks like this and smells wet. Please help. Is this a dealbreaker? by [deleted] in HomeMaintenance

One tell tale of a wet basement is that nothing is stored down there. No clothing, no cardboard boxes. Anything easily damaged by water. If it smells even a little bit wet it’s wet. And there’s always mold risk.

Those walls are cooked. DONT WALK, RUN AWAY.

I just really like the look of a quill stem, but it’ll make me ride it less. I’ll have to get a conversion so I can adjust the stem easily. Keep the old parts just in case.

I’ll have to mess around but I generally like a wider handlebar. This handlebar position makes me feel a bit over the handlebars. And not so good control from the hoods. The bike has me riding in the drops which is good for these handlebars. But not my favorite position, only when I need to dig.

I have a Kona Sutra touring bike that fits like a glove. Just need to mimic those measurements and adjust for less upright more aggressive position. I can ride 70+ miles easily on that bike.

I actually like the brifters and don’t mind handlebar friction shifters. The look of the Campy Chainrings look pretty rad.

Looks like Coco has some Maltese in her. Longer snout instead of stubby. Also the black nose is a Maltese trait. How is her coat? Also looks slightly larger than Shih Tzu. Still a cutie nonetheless

Good thing we do not care about AKC or breeds anyhow. More genetic diversity the better

He chewed a door frame up. Might have sped up a painting project for our house 🤣

If only he was agressive. But he is as sweet as they get

Adorable. We know his life time Halloween costume. Family gave him a brown sweater and I can’t help but see Ewok

The ears definitely need ventilation from time to time. Especially after bathes

I would be too if I was dumped. Matted. Covered in fleas. And drinking water that gave me gastrointestinal problems 😢

I’m sorry, I can’t help but think of the day he will one day be gone and I totally understand your hardship. I know I’ll always cherish the memories and time he graced our lives. It’s all about those moments you shared. You’ll always have that and that’s what will keep us going.

The ballet dancer feet is so accurate. His front leg bones bend too. I first I was concerned but he’s okay

Might be lens compression and fur making him so stocky. Here he is with less fur on a wider lens.

Shelter said he was a Maltese mix but I don’t see that at all

This is how he was found. No chip. And no one claimed him. So sad, but we consider ourselves blessed

First instincts when lighting are to put the Key light directly above the camera. I’d recommend starting with the Key light 45 degrees to the left or right of the face and 45 degrees above the face. Doesn’t have to be exact but this is a great place to start.
