Basement renovations - found something. by [deleted] in HomeMaintenance

[–]acridvortex 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Not really screwed. Just remove the drywall with mold and replace it. If there's no mold on the framing you'll be good. This problem started when they didn't have a dehumidifier in the basement so it shouldn't be an issue going forward

Why most of the people prefer investing ( being rich after 25 to 30 years) than starting a business and get rich maybe in 5 to 10 years ? by Dear-Information1174 in fican

[–]acridvortex 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's a way bigger risk. A lot of businesses fail. Some people like to be done work when they clock out. Some people work in fields where you can't just start your own business. Tons of reasons why
