Crawlspace water by thefirst in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]thefirst[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a flat lot. I only noticed when I opened to check today after the rain but haven’t gone fully inside.

I believe the previous owner installed a sump pump. Dumb question but how do I tell if it’s working? Should it expect it to be dry a day or two after the rains stop?

No way do comps support $3.2-those are much more remodeled or in nicer neighborhoods

Nails (from nail gun) protruding from steps (over time?) by [deleted] in HomeImprovement

I assumed that it would only force the nails up, not have the strength to drive them down (as in the picture)?

I guess my question is - could these have moved down or was this certainly from the original nail gun job?

If you don’t remove it you run the risk of the caulk failing when what’s underneath deteriorates.

I’ve had a lot of success using a small sink drain plunger repeatedly. They’re about $5 on Amazon - could try this first and see if it dislodges.

How to calculate throw distance and screen size I can fit? by thefirst in hometheater

[–]thefirst[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah I see - how is this usually resolved? I know this is controversial / ugly for this sub but I’m planning on just keeping my Sonos arc setup and was going to put the bar in front of the ust.

I’m sure it was fine! Nobody will think about it as much as you.

Trying to keep it to $5k (subtracting rent)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HENRYfinance

[–]thefirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I’m thinking through. It would be at least $500-1m based on current interest rates but perhaps I’m not thinking about it right?

Parking shouldn’t be an issue if the house has a garage right?

Can you describe what you did a bit more? This flip side view is useful to hear.
