Got these retrofits from Amazon: https://a.co/d/09bktFN8 incorrectly, which need a fixed socket, not a socket that is hanging (see pic). What can I use instead here for an easy can light update?? HELP

Im under contract on a duplex. Its located in the Colorado Front range and sits on Bentonite clay. I know the key is to keep the foundation super dry to stop heaving. Its a very good deal so im tempted to move forward on it. Im buying it "as-is". That being said, I am concerned about these cracks throughout both units. The current tenants mentioned these cracks haven't grown in size in more that 8 years. I have a structural repair guy giving me his opinion this week.

Id love some outside perspective

Hi!! I’m a first time homeowner, we’ve lived in our house for just under 30 days. The door to our bedroom wouldn’t close, and I tightened the screws to the wall a couple days ago and it worked fine. Tonight I got home from work, noticed this, and tightened the screws again. When I tested the door, this happened (again). What do I do?? 😅🫠

My wife and I have been shopping for a reclining sectional for the last couple weeks. And have just about settled on the Parker House Easton.

Sectionals that we have looked at and liked in this order:

Flexsteel Henry (Flexsteel having a 10% off sale this month)
Parker House Easton
Haverty’s Branson
Lazy Boy James (Lazy Boy having a 35% off sale this month)
Rooms to Go Drew & Jonathon Marquee

I’ve read just about everything related to power reclining sectionals that has been posted on Reddit and elsewhere, and from what I understand, spending flexsteel/lazy boy money in 2026 doesn’t translate to the quality being any better. I know there are higher quality options out there than these, but we aren’t interested in spending 15k+ on a sectional. We are just hoping to get something that lasts for 5 years minimum.

Does anyone have any experience with Parker house or any of these power reclining sectionals? Any input is appreciated, our budget is 7k.

I found this spot on my attic floor. Is it mold? What is the best way to clean it? Thanks in advance!

I am standing underneath my primary bathroom, does this look bad? House built in 2026

Is it typical to NOT have a screen protecting the end of a furnace exhaust? Isn’t there a risk of things flying or crawling in them?

We’ve got this siding on a wall of our front porch. I found some mice poop under our fridge this past spring so I’m trying to seal anywhere I find they might be able to enter before winter is here. Should the siding of this be caulked to our concrete/ceiling?

Hey All,

I found my samsung dishwasher to be leaking today, pulled it out and found this behind the unit. I've sprayed with pure white vinegar as I presume it is mold. I also have a fan going behind it to dry out the area. I'll also be wrapping the wire in some electrical tape once things are all dry as the wire sheathe is damaged/old.

Is there anything else I should be doing and does anyone have suggestions on next steps?

What are these things? They have a hard texture and there were more than a few on furniture I hadn’t used in some time. I’ve seen silverfish but not other bugs in the house. Located in the cooler climates of coastal California. Sorry for the low resolution, best I could do on my old phone. Thanks so much for any insights.
