You're obviously just begging for money and aren't actually using it on what you're saying it for, knock it off

You really do think that don't you? Alright fine, in case anyone was wondering what I'm "lying" about it's my flooded mold filled basement and my roof being partially caved in. Winter is about to happen and I need to fix it soon. My mom and grandma are both immunocompromised, I need to stop the mold spread before it gets too high up into the house.

So! If you don't believe me, here is a list of things I need you can send directly to me so you know it actually comes to me

If you do believe me however please feel free to donate to my kofi, I'm almost halfway to the goal to get supplies I need for the roof.

Even if you just reblog I'd be forever thankful!

Like most of the remaining houses in Sunnyville (formery known as Achmothogair), Sunnyville House, the headquarters of Novelties and Notions, is in a dilapidated state and in need of fairly extensive renovation. Not one of the few residents of this tiny hamlet have any money to spare – indeed most folk here have no money at all – and the state of the properties, if you could call them that, is more or less deplorable. It is not an exaggeration to say that in some cases dislodged roofing slates are held in place by glue, and the parts of buildings that threaten to fall are secured with rope.

Anyone who lives in such a remote and isolated community is necessarily resourceful, but despite their willingness to make do and mend, problems do arise when, for example, having finally managed to source some replacements from a scrap yard, the householders discover, in the last gleam of light at the end of a tedious day working on repairs, that they have been supplied with the wrong windows.

You are NOT going to believe this, because I don’t believe this.

We had this coffee table that belonged to my grandparents, a ship’s wheel with an incredibly thick and heavy glass too. Because we had run out of space we had many years ago took it apart (easy since the top only set on it and the legs screwed in). It had been stored safely beside the piano, until yesterday.

So with the piano having to be moved, I needed to do something with it. Naturally this meant hauling it to Mom’s house, where with the floor collapse almost everything is stored anyway. After struggling to get it there and in the house, I needed a safe place to put.

The perfect spot was behind the sofa in front if the boarded up fireplace. That fireplace had been sealed over before my parents ever started renting the house and sofa had been there longer than I’ve been alive. It would be out of the way.

So I cleared things from behind the sofa, maneuvered the glass table top through the narrow space, rolled it back there, and…..

THUNK!!!!!!

I looked to see what the heck had happened.

The bricks that make up the hearth had fallen away!!

The old mortar had crumbled away under the weight if the glass. (the house was thrown together quickly and cheaply in the 1800s) It had been a double thick layer of bricks, a couple of feet wide, and all of them for half the length of the fireplace fell to the ground below.

I now had a big hole in the floor of the living room, open to the outside world! And this is the house in good shape!!

So, great. I have a new major problem!

On the plus side, I got that piano moved. Ok, it blocks the front door, but at least it isn’t going to fall. For now, anyway. This is the house that is rotting away, with collapsed floors in every room. But the piano isn’t going to face plant into the abyss or squish a cat. I wasn’t sure I could get it over that tangle of planks I had over the chasm, not by myself. But woo-hoo!!! I did it!!!

On the negative side, I have a royal mess to deal with in the aftermath. For instance, I have to reconstruct the platform I’d had over the place where the floor should be. Tricky, especially since some of the plywood broke up moving the piano.

Of course, there is the hole in the hearth at the other house to fix. Somehow.

I wonder what disaster tomorrow will bring….

How to spot early warning signs of building damage before it's too late

How to spot early warning signs of building damage before it's too late

Buildings, like anything else, deteriorate over time. Whether you live in a little bungalow or a multi-story block of flats, early signs of damage can often be subtle, making them easy to miss. Ignoring them can lead to serious safety risks and costly repairs. Regular inspections and proactive measures, including effective strata maintenance, can help prevent small issues from spiralling into…

Jeff needs treatment for ADHD & anxiety. I need my anxiety/depression meds adjusted.

We need our car repaired, our house to be fully repaired (roof, floors, insulation, skirting, etc) and sold. We need a more appropriate place to live, to get out of debt & poverty.

We need a fresh start, for the sake of our mental, emotional and physical health. We desperately need love & care.

Please pray that all of these things will come to pass soon.

I'm sure the homeowners before us Tried Their Best when it came to construction and renovation.

My husband's managed some short term fixes for our heating and cooling problems, which considerately alternated their annual breakdowns, but now we are forced to replace the furnace-A/C unit entirely. The repair man removing the old unit (situated so uniquely in a tiny bathroom closet that the guy went "huh" when I showed it to him) has been drilling and sawing for a while, and I, being ignorant to how long this process should take, thought everything was hunky dory until he muttered under his breath just now, "What in the WORLD?!"

As the person who's also been discovering all the fun little quirks during home improvement projects, I don't want to know what's wrong but I'm sorry and good luck amigo 🫡

Tumblr keeps popping up to sell me ad free dashboard. But what it doesn't understand is that me and the ads have a sort of symbiosis at this point.

I am very down with the idea that whenever Shanks comes to Visit him on Kuriagina Mihawk uses him like hired muscle

He works him like a dog, Shanks hasn’t even set two feet on the island and Mihawk has handed him a list of all the furniture that needs moving, the light bulbs (he has like 30 chandeliers) that need changing, the rooms that need repainting. Living in the ruins of a castle of a dead kingdom takes work. Could Mihawk do it? No he has a garden to take care off.🙄

Just the idea that Mihawk started a renovation project on his castle while Zoro was there as part of his “training” and Shanks shows up and really Shanks you’re just gonna stand there while the kid does all that heavy lifting Mihawk says as he sips his glass of wine.

Shanks of course is happy to do it. Benn, who he recruits cause there’s just somethings a one armed man shouldn’t do on his own, is of course disgruntled that he has once again been dragged into their weird foreplay.

Perona of course goes “I’m just a girl” 🥺. And of course when Mihawk is unmoved by this She huff and sets to tricking Zoro to do her share of the tasks as well.

She then proceeds to become the most heinous, unethical, inhumane work site manager to ever exist. All while wearing a glittery construction vest and bedazzled hard hat
