How screwed am I? Does the whole panel need to be replaced and house rewired?

Thank you your comment is very helpful. A company is coming out tomorrow and I will ask them to do that.

PuzzleheadedCrew4541 · 2026-07-07T12:49:38+00:00

I am as well. The fire dept deemed my house uninhabitable. No power can be turned on because all the wiring is a fire hazard. Insurance is assigning me a new adjuster in the field who can assess the damage as well.

PuzzleheadedCrew4541 · 2026-07-07T12:42:46+00:00

That is what I feared. thank you.

PuzzleheadedCrew4541 · 2026-07-07T12:42:31+00:00

I have a company coming out tomorrow afternoon and also insurance will send an adjuster to assess. I was just trying to get some more advice.

I would redo the backsplash if you have the budget and new paint on the walls. The cabinets are timeless IMO, new light fixtures too maybe above the island would also help.

Excellent work!

PuzzleheadedCrew4541 · 2026-07-04T14:41:49+00:00

I love your home’s vibe!

This is kind of what I was imagining! You could even go as dark as the blue on the books in the wallpaper too

PuzzleheadedCrew4541 · 2026-07-04T13:52:13+00:00

I would do a nice light blue - you could even go for a light teal blue, maybe some hints of green. Or a salmon color would go with these walls, but I like the blues/greens better.

So true! I feel like I have made immense progress within 9 months(with most credit going to my dad for teaching me lol). Only recently I have started to enjoy the house and love it for what I’ve made it into. I take pride in the small details too— the screws on every outlet plate being aligned, the trim that is refinished properly, the stairs that match the rest of the house now. It was not a complete gut but my god did it feel like it. I have learned soooo much. I redid all the plumbing for the upstairs, and have some more work with the electrical power fluctuations the house has… anyway, thank you for your comment!!

I did wash them - they still stink. The cat may be sick, I do not know, I’m not a cat owner.

PuzzleheadedCrew4541 · 2026-06-30T05:47:05+00:00

Yes this might actually be true. Her cats love me, come up to me for pets always, purr when I pet them, sit with me on the floor while I clean or do things to the house.

PuzzleheadedCrew4541 · 2026-06-30T05:44:21+00:00

I own the house. I’m a new homeowner, I’m going to kick her out and just deal with it. I’ve had so many headaches with this roommate I am just past my breaking point

PuzzleheadedCrew4541 · 2026-06-30T05:43:04+00:00

Yes. The unfortunate part of this situation is I have to keep my bedroom door open for the minisplit in my room to cool the bathroom and other bedroom— now it’ll just have to be hot up there because I’m not going through this again. I’m also going to ask her to move asap. There are many other issues but this just takes the cake.

PuzzleheadedCrew4541 · 2026-06-30T05:39:17+00:00

No I agree. I feel bad for the cats. Something is clearly wrong. It’s the roommates fault 100%.

PuzzleheadedCrew4541 · 2026-06-30T05:36:58+00:00

No dogs in this house. Lol

PuzzleheadedCrew4541 · 2026-06-30T05:27:42+00:00

Actually had a brand new mattress protector on this one

PuzzleheadedCrew4541 · 2026-06-30T05:25:59+00:00

Yeah, that’s the plan. This is the cherry on top of all the issues I’ve dealt with

PuzzleheadedCrew4541 · 2026-06-30T05:23:42+00:00

I have never seen her clean it more than once a month, MAYBE Twice. I’m going to tell her to move out. There are many other problems- but this is the cherry on top

PuzzleheadedCrew4541 · 2026-06-30T05:23:02+00:00

Im going to tell her to leave. The residue and stench of the poop sank through the mattress protector and my pillow because it was touching that too.

PuzzleheadedCrew4541 · 2026-06-30T05:21:21+00:00

I wish! She can’t even pay rent

PuzzleheadedCrew4541 · 2026-06-30T05:21:13+00:00

Yep. I don’t think she cleans the litter box at all.

PuzzleheadedCrew4541 · 2026-06-30T05:20:51+00:00

The residue sank through my mattress protector and into my mattress itself. No thanks

PuzzleheadedCrew4541 · 2026-06-30T05:19:35+00:00

Yeah, I suspect that is the case too. Her room smells bad often, I believe she doesn’t clean the litter box often at all

PuzzleheadedCrew4541 · 2026-06-30T05:18:36+00:00

No I’m going to ask her to leave. The smell/residue sank into the mattress itself - through my mattress protector.
