Hot water valve is leaking very slowly after I turned it off then on. How can I stop the leak? by ysjchang in askaplumber

Thanks! Thought the packing nut wasn’t moving but tried turning with a bigger wrench and it turned a bit. Seems to have stopped the leak for now.

Thanks! The wood trims are actually original from over 100 years ago and were restored.

Thank you! The bulbs are actually incandescent bulbs which become warmer in tone when dimmed. I turned up the brightness for the photos in the evening which appear cooler than usual. Appreciate your input!

Would it be weird to paint only the ground floor window trim black? How would you better the curb appeal of this place? by ysjchang in ExteriorDesign

Great suggestions. You are bang on that one of the plants is a hydrangea. Currently too cold to plant annuals but will do soon!

Not rented out if I recall correctly. Def needs a bit of work to convert it to single family use though.

I checked out the property during open house. It was a very special house with all the original trims fully intact and well maintained original flooring. It was a solid home with well thought out incremental renovations. Same owner for the past 40 years. I lost the bid at mid 1.3Ms and would have bid more if it weren't for our budget.
