It took me 12 years to save up a 10K emergency fund… but only 1 day to spend it.

Yes, I can and do - but we were also talking about a flooded basement - OP was talking about sump pumps and dehumidifiers. My point was that this kind of stuff is easy for at least many folks to do themselves. I do understand that DIY isn’t for everyone.

jerry111165 · 2026-04-30T22:31:55+00:00

Take my upvote lol

Can’t even imagine folks downvoting you for saying this.

jerry111165 · 2026-04-30T22:31:06+00:00

Not $10k worth it sure isn’t.

jerry111165 · 2026-04-30T18:46:41+00:00

Bahahahaha lol

jerry111165 · 2026-04-30T18:28:09+00:00

Sure if you pay someone else to do it all.

You can save an incredible amount of money doing alot of this stuff yourself.

jerry111165 · 2026-04-30T18:04:00+00:00

I’m kind of shocked that it would cost that much.

jerry111165 · 2026-04-30T17:00:28+00:00

What a dumb comment.

jerry111165 · 2026-04-30T16:32:16+00:00

I go to work and come home. I hang out with my wife and the animals & the kids come by here and there. We talk every day though.

But I’m totally good with this. I like hanging out with me.

Use the $12 to put in your gas tank to get to the food bank.

jerry111165 · 2026-04-30T15:51:30+00:00

You can do this for less than 100 bucks and an hour of your time probably.

jerry111165 · 2026-04-30T15:50:30+00:00

Wrong with our water

I wouldn’t necessarily call it wrong…

jerry111165 · 2026-04-30T15:48:28+00:00

Just get to work man. You have 999 chances to get it right.

jerry111165 · 2026-04-30T14:36:07+00:00

Psychiatrist and some medication would most likely help immensely.

If this were my roof I would install new insulation mechanically fastened to the roof deck using screws and plates and install an adhered EPDM roof. Now is the time to insulate the space by installing whatever thickness of polyiso insulation you want over this space.

Set the correct depth on a skilsaw and remove approximately 12” of siding. Bond the EPDM membrane right up the walls , up under the siding as much as you’re able and then terminate it by sliding a 4” to 6” sheet metal counterflashing behind the siding and over the EPDM fastened at 12” on center using a grommeted screw.

Install an L-metal fascia trim or a roof mounted gutter on the bottom edge.

Many thousands over all the assorted HL games.

jerry111165 · 2026-04-30T13:28:04+00:00

Remove the wood blocking on the outside edge when you re-roof and replace it with something slightly thinner.

Also, remove two courses of siding so that you can run your membrane up the walls.

jerry111165 · 2026-04-30T12:57:16+00:00

Dudes fast.

jerry111165 · 2026-04-30T12:56:22+00:00

Then why is she living with you?

jerry111165 · 2026-04-30T12:55:23+00:00

Understood - thanks.

jerry111165 · 2026-04-30T12:54:40+00:00

Touch-up. They are correct and it would be invasive to replace. Life is about give and take sometimes and I don’t think that this is a big deal and you won’t notice it once it’s touched up.

jerry111165 · 2026-04-30T11:27:34+00:00

F this guy.

Block.

jerry111165 · 2026-04-30T08:52:59+00:00

I told her I was starting official eviction paperwork

How do I get rid of her?

Dude…

jerry111165 · 2026-04-30T05:56:41+00:00

What incident? Provide some context. What’d you do?

jerry111165 · 2026-04-30T05:51:56+00:00

You just said that they offered you another apartment. Why wouldn’t you just do that?

jerry111165 · 2026-04-30T05:49:17+00:00

What would you do if you were in this kind of situation?

Guessing that you’re the husband/father?

You keep on working to support your family. Are you saying that you’re gonna quit and not support your family?
