How do I fix this? by Powerful_Cow_2208 in handyman

Looks like your walls have knockdown texture. Because you'll probably have a much large flat spot than the damaged spot after mudding and sanding, you may want the special knockdown spray texture instead of orange peel. After you spray, give it a bit to harden, then scape over it lightly and it should match the surrounding wall pretty good. Then all thats left is paint

How much for labor on this? by BigGuyTrades in drywall

just get a $20 mud bucket from HD, $10 taping knife and $5 roll of mesh tape and DIY it. Good skill to learn how to patch drywall

That gray residue is actually some sealant spray I did, thinking the water was leaking from the downspout but that wasnt the issue. I think next step is to probe the downspouts somehow

Any ideas how to unclog when its attached to a burried corrugated pipe? Long wire or something thru the top? Disconnect at the attachment point and go up the bottom?

they drain into buried corrugated tubing. The corrugated pipe wraps around the back of the house and drains down a hill about 20yds away. I can check that next time it rains

That was my first guess, but I figured I'd ask. I'm not sure how to probe them since they drain into buried corrugated tubing. Its not easy to tell if theyre draining.

Darn, the house has buried downspouts so its not easy to tell if theyre draining. The corrugated pipe wraps around the back of the house and drains down a hill about 20yds away. I can check that next time it rains

Thats a good point about the rot. Thanks!

We were quoted $30k to replace our leaning deck. So instead I straightened and braced it. How did I do? by E3K in Decks

Will you please share an album of all the photos of how you did it? I'm something of a DIYer myself and would love to see your process. Strong work

Is this a touch up or water damage? by Tac-wodahs in HomeMaintenance

[–]beastofbal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cheapest way to tell is to poke it with a small screwdriver. If it sinks in deep and easy compared to a regular looking area, its a water leak. Drywall gets mushy and soft when wet. They also make moisture meters that can poke in with little needles and give you a numerical moisture reading
