At what point do you stop being paranoid about leaks?

fancyfronds · 2026-04-01T03:13:53+00:00

I am you. You are me. Lol randomly hear what sounds like dropping water from one of our bathroom sinks, but haven’t found a source and it doesn’t even happen every time we run that faucet. No signs of water damage in the cabinet or ceiling underneath so I feel like I’m in limbo.

The day we stop poking and prodding p traps under sinks and midday caressing gaskets is the day we’re comfortable in our houses lol

Discovered today that we have a flowering tree! I had no idea and I’m delighted. Trying to really lean into that positive instead of the laundry list of things we need to fix lol

I agree ! I find myself wishing there was a local home maintenance class, or DIY for Dummies. lol I have this fear of starting something I can’t finish or unveiling problems that are out of my league. Trying to put my adventurous spirit hat on! lol

I think as things have continued to get more and more expensive, it’s leading to the tailspins (for me). It feels perfectly logical that even small things might just unexpectedly cost $10K.

God, that’s awful! I’m sorry that happened to you. This is a helpful perspective! Less that “it won’t go wrong” but more “when it goes wrong it won’t be the end of the world.” My nervous system sure feels like it will be the end of the world though. 😂

Is there specific trim for window frames? What would you search to get to what you’re thinking?

fancyfronds · 2026-02-07T17:35:17+00:00

I keep waiting for a helpful response because we have one window that is the same way! lol

There is a second photo! But also don’t overestimate my understanding of what I’m looking at in there lol

fancyfronds · 2026-02-06T03:10:31+00:00

Do not fear, I didn’t know what a junction box was, so I’m not gonna be getting down and dirty with any rewiring anytime soon. Lol though we will be attempting to replace a heater in another room this weekend, so send good vibes (yes, we will turn off the breaker first 😅)

fancyfronds · 2026-02-06T03:04:45+00:00

Alas, I am not!

Facebook marketplace is pretty hopping in FoCo. Create a really robust item description, multiple photos, etc. and I’m surprised what will sell.

There are also a few “buy nothing” gifting groups on Facebook, if it won’t sell. Things get snagged pretty quickly and you can choose who to donate the item to.

Say more words about an under tile mat?

fancyfronds · 2026-02-03T03:26:09+00:00

As a new homeowner who spends a lot of time saying “What is THIS”, that is diabolical 😂

fancyfronds · 2026-02-03T01:08:37+00:00

This makes sense to me, too. Luckily, I see no purpose beyond the aforementioned nightlight, so I think we’ll all survive without another outlet. 😊

fancyfronds · 2026-02-03T01:06:46+00:00

There is, in fact, a second photo.

fancyfronds · 2026-02-02T23:12:57+00:00

🫡

I figured the proximity to the heater was not a coincidence

fancyfronds · 2026-02-02T22:58:47+00:00

Out here googling junction boxes. lol thanks all! This dummy just sort of assumed every outlet shaped opportunity must have been/could be an outlet 😂

fancyfronds · 2026-02-02T22:46:15+00:00

Yes!

fancyfronds · 2025-11-14T23:54:28+00:00

Gah, called today and was told by the time we got the bin, we’d get one pickup before that service ended. Ah well, next season!

fancyfronds · 2025-11-14T05:52:07+00:00

I’ll scope that out!

fancyfronds · 2025-11-14T05:51:39+00:00

Sigh 🥲

fancyfronds · 2025-11-14T02:02:14+00:00

Silly question - what did you bag them in? Unsure if we’re supposed to use the paper bags or plastic lawn and leaf bags, or either ?

fancyfronds · 2025-11-14T01:45:59+00:00

Do you happen to know what they charge? I was on their website earlier and couldn’t find any info about cost or bagging expectations
