I'm living such an amazing life right now I worked so hard for this

Our House is Unsafe, Help Us Gain a New Start

Do NOT tag as #d*nation, #m*tual aid, #p*ypal, #c*shapp, etc.

My name is Ross and I'm the oldest child of my family, with whom I currently live with. Our household consists of me, my widowed mother, and my three younger siblings, the youngest being 16. My dad died suddenly in his sleep November of 2021 and since then we have struggled pretty much every day to keep ourselves alive and housed.

Our house, my childhood home, is a 3 bedroom mobile home built in 1990 and for as long as I can remember, it has always been hoarded and falling apart. Over the past few years, we've made significant progress in reducing the hoard and giving us space to live in, but still this is a 30+ year mobile home that is damaged beyond our capability to repair.

Problems that exist currently in our house include:

No working HVAC

Half of the house has no power

Weakened floors due to water and pet damage

Outdoor siding rotting due to plant growth and water damage

Major leaks in the covered porch's roof, causing immense water damage and mold growth

Drywall, ceiling, and flooring damage (our entire kitchen's floor is just plywood now due to damage)

So many other issues that I've honestly lost track

We, of course, originally planned to slowly fix whatever issues had come up, but our plans changed when we came across a deal to purchase a brand new 5 bedroom mobile home for a discounted price. Not only does a new house such as this give us a safe, secure, and clean place to live, but the additional rooms ensure that all of us have our own bedroom and that we have more space to live and work. Currently, me, my mom, and my sister all share the master bedroom, so obviously the concept of all of us having our own privacy is leading us to make this decision more.

Right now, we currently have $2,000 put towards the down payment for the new house, out of a $9,000 down payment. We are able to make payments early and we expected to be able to put money down every month, until my mom's job fucked her over and didn't schedule her for 6 weeks. This greatly put us behind not just on payments for the new house, but also bills and getting my mom's car insured and registered, as it's now a year overdue for both.

I'll do anything for this chance, anything if it means that my family and I can finally have a home we deserve, a home my dad would've wanted for us.

I'm desperate, we're all desperate, for a chance to live normally for the first time in our lives. Living in squalor is all I've known and the opportunity to escape it is honestly the only thing keeping me going right now.

I don't know what I'd do if I'm forced to live in this shithole another year, let alone for the rest of my life. So, please, if you have the means I'd forever be grateful if you donate. If you can't donate, then please share this. It would mean everything to me.

Thank you if you read this, thank you if you share, and thank you so so much if you donate.

[wumblr]

in the interest of using my journal as a journal, this week i have...

got a drill (literally essential to almost every other item on this list). this pairs well with my extremely long extension cord (another essential product recommendation) since the nearest outlet to my living room is halfway up the attic stairs

went to menards (this isn't the first time, but i joked about never quite getting there, and then never posted about it when i did, which is a violation of my menards influencer contract) and found a nest chair on clearance (thing that has been on a list for years)

put up curtains, put up curtains, put up curtains (two windows and one room-dividing red curtain to hide the HVAC in my attic bedroom. i was sort of going for like, theater style curtains or twin peaks red room or aurora album cover... the lighting is wrong, the fabric is neither quite the right color nor texture, i have half as many curtains as i need, and i couldn't find exactly the right kind of rug to drive the illusion home, but it does make the whole thing seem a lot more like sleeping in a bedroom than squatting in a half-remodeled attic like some kind of modest mouse frontman, so, i guess i'll buy a used spotlight to pair with my used disco/dj/classic skating lights and keep looking for rugs to cover up the stain on the floor that i hope is from a long-past roof leakage and is not the spot where a previous tenant died)

put up wall art

anchored my bookshelves

deposited my tax return (i'm sorry for posting so many yoshi tax evasion jokes all these years and then just dutifully filing my taxes. or, if you're a tax auditor, this is not a joke)

got a kitchen table and chairs and put them together (regret to inform you i did not really have chairs this whole time. like i had chairs once. terrible chairs. and i got rid of them when i left portland. pleased to inform you my new ones are really nice). also a kitchen shelf. because i have the world's smallest cupboards. 6.5in wide. i measured them. what are you even supposed to do with these

replaced a fraction of the cardboard boxes that i've been keeping everything in with actual containers

i still need to...

take the old, mismatched, outdated front license plate off my car (augh) (surely this is illegal), an impossible task that requires the absurd notion of taking a screwdriver outside

fix... my studio... (it looks exactly like it did in the picture i posted and i'm actually mad i didn't have more time to use it in that state but now there's also a former kitchen table and a clearance nest chair in there. i have also sort of half-commited to a standing desk in the closet, which has shelves that are not exactly the same height, so now my if-you-give-a-mouse-a-cookie ass needs a piece of lumber, and i haven't even stained my spice rack board yet)

strip the seasoning off my cast iron pan (don't ask... i am learning about polymerization the hard way. i spread it on too thick. rookie mistake. how do you even start over. i am learning about depolymerization)

go to the hardware store because i used all my fucking screws. this is a literary technique called bookending and lets the reader know that the character's life is an endlessly repeating cycle of screwing and getting screws

[manyblinkinglights]

We are gonna carpet the front room (it’s on slab so it needs many layers of underlayment so your feet definitely won’t hurt from standing on it like they do now), carpet the bedrooms, and then get our stuff shipped. And piled in the front room. Hopefully it can be tarped for eventual painting all in a big mound like that. THEN everything else can take as long to get lined up as it likes (remove broken interior fireplace, push that wall back to make a bookcase nook bcs this house has bizarre internal voids the plans don’t match & why not use the space, install the flooring after so it doesn’t have to be patched). (Remodel of kitchen because it is 70yo and has cartoon suicide wiring).

Other stuff is outside stuff. Sewer lateral line replacement, French drain lapped around the house before it floats any further away (not a joke), replace old original copper pipes as they are reaching end-of-life, adjust gate for side parking, solar, hvac, move washer and dryer to other side of garage, refurbish garage, new ondemand wallmounted water heater on exterior wall instead of the buckwild badly installed one precariously looming there currently commanding a great deal of space like a tipsy lukewarm trainwreck. Remodel the two bathrooms bcs of extensive water damage and the bathtub that fiberglassed my butt. …I guess that’s an inside thing but it doesn’t have anything to do with anything else and can happen whenever.

Handyman will fix all the doors that don’t open and the nice sliding door’s wheels (unmaintained to the point of nigh unusability). I think the roof is also due for reshingling, would happen along with solar and hvac (currently have roofmounted unit).

House is lovely otherwise. I will need to get, a real job, wow. Since I will only be earning money until August. And mom likely can’t do ALL of this.

I want a quieter fucking bathroom exhaust fan. WHY are they so noisy.

Reconstruction Services in Frisco, TX: Restoring Your Property with Expertise and Care

Natural disasters, accidents, and other unexpected events can leave a property in need of extensive repairs and restoration. In Frisco, TX, Reconstruction Services play a vital role in helping homeowners and business owners restore their properties to their original condition. Whether it's due to fire, storm damage, or even structural wear and tear, professional reconstruction services are essential in providing expert restoration and rebuilding to ensure that your property is safe, functional, and aesthetically pleasing. This article explores the importance of reconstruction services in Frisco, TX, the process involved, and how professionals can help you get your property back to normal.

Why You Need Reconstruction Services in Frisco, TX

After an event like a fire, flooding, or storm damage, the damage to your property can be extensive, and restoring it to its original state requires more than just surface-level repairs. Reconstruction services in Frisco, TX, involve everything from structural repairs and rebuilding to the installation of new systems and finishes. This comprehensive approach ensures that the property is restored not only to a visually appealing state but also to a structurally sound and functional one.

Without professional help, homeowners and business owners may face costly mistakes, delayed timelines, or subpar repairs that may lead to more issues down the road. Reconstruction services are designed to address all aspects of the damage, offering a full restoration that goes beyond what standard repairs might achieve. Professional reconstruction teams are equipped with the knowledge, tools, and experience to handle even the most complex restoration projects efficiently.

The Process of Reconstruction Services in Frisco, TX

When your property suffers damage, the reconstruction process is designed to rebuild, repair, and restore every aspect of your home or business. Here’s an overview of what to expect when hiring reconstruction services in Frisco, TX:

Initial Assessment and Inspection The first step in the reconstruction process is a detailed assessment of the damage. Reconstruction specialists will thoroughly inspect the property to evaluate the extent of the destruction. This could involve examining structural elements like the foundation, framing, and roof, as well as assessing damage to plumbing, electrical systems, and other essential components. Based on this inspection, the team will develop a comprehensive plan to address the damage and rebuild the property.

Planning and Design Once the damage is assessed, the next step is planning and design. If your property requires major structural repairs or if you want to make upgrades during the reconstruction, the design phase will help you determine the most efficient and cost-effective ways to restore or improve the space. This step may include working with architects or interior designers to ensure that the final result aligns with your vision.

Structural Repairs and Reconstruction The heart of the reconstruction process involves repairing or replacing damaged structural components. If your property has suffered damage to its foundation, roof, walls, or flooring, these elements will need to be reconstructed to restore the stability and safety of the building. This could also involve redoing windows and doors or replacing damaged beams and framing. Professional reconstruction teams will ensure that all repairs meet local building codes and safety standards.

Installation of Systems In addition to structural repairs, reconstruction services in Frisco, TX, often include the installation or replacement of vital systems. This may include plumbing, electrical, HVAC, or even more advanced systems like fire suppression. Reconstruction teams will work with licensed professionals to ensure that all systems are installed correctly and safely, minimizing the risk of future issues.

Interior and Exterior Finishes Once the structural repairs and system installations are complete, the finishing touches are applied. This phase involves installing new drywall, flooring, cabinets, countertops, and any other interior finishes that were damaged. Exterior finishes like siding, roofing, and landscaping will also be restored to make the property look as good as new. Depending on your preferences, this may be a time to upgrade certain finishes or make cosmetic changes that enhance the overall design of the property.

Final Inspection and Quality Control Once all reconstruction work is completed, the property will undergo a final inspection to ensure that everything is up to code and meets the necessary safety standards. Any last-minute adjustments will be made to ensure the property is ready for occupancy or use. The reconstruction team will also take time to walk you through the work completed, addressing any concerns and ensuring you are satisfied with the final result.

Why Choose Professional Reconstruction Services in Frisco, TX?

Reconstruction is a complex and multi-faceted process that requires experience, skill, and attention to detail. Here are some reasons why professional reconstruction services in Frisco, TX, are the best choice for property owners:

Expertise and Experience: Professional reconstruction teams bring years of experience to the table, ensuring that the job is done right the first time. They are familiar with local building codes, safety regulations, and best practices for reconstruction.

Comprehensive Services: From structural repairs to cosmetic upgrades, professional reconstruction services offer a wide range of services to address all aspects of rebuilding. You won’t have to deal with multiple contractors or contractors who don’t have the necessary skills.

Insurance Assistance: Reconstruction companies often work closely with insurance companies to ensure that your claim is handled smoothly and you get the compensation you deserve for the repairs.

Peace of Mind: Hiring professionals to handle the reconstruction process gives you peace of mind that the work will be completed properly and safely, allowing you to focus on other aspects of recovery.

Conclusion

With expert teams that provide a full range of services—from structural repairs to interior finishes—property owners can rebuild with confidence. Whether it’s fire damage, water damage, or general wear and tear, professional reconstruction services ensure your property will be restored to its original state, safe and ready for the future.

Inspecting a Property Before You Buy: What to Look For

The property inspection process involves a comprehensive assessment of a building or property to evaluate its current condition and identify potential future issues. Typically, real estate contracts mandate inspections as a crucial step in the purchasing process. A property inspector will conduct a visual assessment of various elements, including the basement, attic, roof, internal and external walls, plumbing systems, and exterior structures.

The inspection is non-invasive, meaning no holes will be made in walls or drilling performed in the ground, nor will any other damaging procedures be undertaken. Property inspections are vital as they provide buyers with a

detailed understanding of a property prior to making an offer, while also allowing sellers to identify necessary repairs or upgrades to ensure compliance with local building regulations.

There are many property inspection services in Gurgaon. They are as follows-

HomeInspektor, Housemaster Home Inspections, PropChk-Home Inspection Service, MACJ-Home-Inspection- Gurgaon, Housewise.in, Gresol Solutions, Houzez Building and Home Inspection, House Pedia, Gurugram Property, Propdial.com, Property Inspectors, MagicBricks, IndiaMART, nobroker.in, Godrej Properties, e-ghar Home Inspection, Propertyinspection.in, inspectionagency.in, ExportersIndia, capitalvaluers.co.in, housing.com, and many more.

Gurgaon Home Inspection Tips

I am certain that some might be in need of some tips for home inspections in Gurgaon, so here they are-

Certain problems, such as dampness in walls, are invisible to the unaided eye. Moisture in walls can be found with the use of a thermal camera or moisture meter.

Turn on every faucet and showerhead in order to look for leaks.

Check the water pressure in the kitchen and restrooms.

Examine pipes and connections that are readily apparent for rust or corrosion.

Examine the foundation for damage, looking for any gaps, cracks, or indications of settlement.

Examine the roof for any missing or broken shingles.

Inspect for water damage by searching for water spots on walls or ceilings.

Examine external walls for indications of mold growth.

Look for flaking paint to see if there is any on the exterior walls.

External walls may have rotting wood. Inspect that.

Examine the main panel, outlets, switches, and other components of the electrical system.

Examine the HVAC system, including the ventilation, air conditioning, and furnace.

Gurgaon Property Buying Checklist

Before buying any property in Gurgaon, there should be definite research work done, without fail. That means, right searching your home on the internet to looking at pictures on Pinterest for reference and inspiration, suited best to your aesthetic and preferences. Also search for home buying tips, asking for a home buying guide, or a new home buying guide. Other essential things to consider before you buy a property are a must-site visit to tour potential homes in Gurgaon, check out the floor plan, and finalize the paint colors, etc. This is everything you need to find out and do before buying a house in Gurgaon.

Having said this, there are some checklists you need to look at, and they are-

1. Deciding your Budget:

First off, decide your budget. Follow the advice from an adviser and determine the amount of a downpayment you can be able to afford. Go for loans that give lowest rates of interest and have enough flexibility that allows to cut down on monthly payments if one is able to pay off the loan in advance.

2. Conduct Proper Research:

The next thing on your checklist should be researching. Gather information from the builder and real estate professional. Find out if they have a promising reputation. Are they able to keep their word and meet their promises on the dot? Are there any other hidden payments? Are there some promises not fulfilled? The most significant is to be 100% certain whether or not the builder is staying in compliance with the law and legal guidelines. Eagerly make an effort to contact other buyers who have purchased the building, and learn about all the kinds of experiences they have had.

3. Deciding on the Location:

After researching, this next decision of yours will give you a safe space to remain informed, allowing for well- considered decisions and the identification of optimal investment opportunities. This aspect is crucial for any real estate endeavor. Gurgaon is subdivided into various sectors, each characterized by unique attributes and amenities. It is advisable to focus on locations that are well-connected and in close proximity to workplaces, schools, and healthcare facilities. Adopting a long-term perspective in your investment strategy is often

recommended, and is considered an intelligent thing to do.

4. Future Growth:

Gurgaon is experiencing rapid development, with numerous infrastructure projects either underway or in the planning stages. Areas with planned future developments typically experience value appreciation, presenting attractive investment prospects.

5. Negotiation

Another critical component of any real estate transaction. Upon selecting a property, engage in detailed discussions with the seller or their representative to secure the best possible price. By taking into account market dynamics, property location, and the condition of the residence, top-notch negotiation can magnificently impact the overall investment outcome.

The Art of Restoration: Breathing New Life into Historic Homes

Historic homes hold a special charm, offering a glimpse into architectural styles, craftsmanship, and cultural history from bygone eras. However, as time takes its toll on these residential constructions structures, restoration becomes essential to preserve their character and ensure they remain functional and safe. Restoring a historic home is both an art and a science, requiring skill, patience, and respect for its original design. Here’s a closer look at the art of restoration and the process of breathing new life into historic homes.

1. The Importance of Historic Home Restoration

Restoring historic homes is about more than just preserving a building; it’s about safeguarding heritage and maintaining a tangible connection to the past. These homes often feature unique craftsmanship and materials that are difficult to replicate in modern construction. Restoration ensures these architectural treasures are passed down to future generations while also contributing to the aesthetic and historical value of neighborhoods.

In addition to cultural significance, restored historic homes can offer economic benefits. Well-maintained historic properties tend to appreciate in value, making restoration a worthwhile investment for homeowners and communities alike.

2. Assessing the Home’s Condition

The first step in any restoration project is a thorough assessment of the home’s condition. This involves inspecting the foundation, roof, plumbing, electrical systems, and structural integrity. Professionals with experience in historic buildings can identify areas of concern and suggest appropriate restoration techniques.

Documentation is also crucial at this stage. Photographs, sketches, and written records of the home's original features provide a blueprint for restoration efforts, ensuring that changes honor the home’s historical authenticity.

3. Preserving Original Features

One of the key principles of historic home restoration is preserving as much of the original structure and materials as possible. Features like ornate woodwork, stained glass windows, and decorative moldings are often irreplaceable and add to the home’s character.

Specialized techniques, such as refinishing original wood floors or repairing plaster walls, help maintain these unique elements. When replacement is unavoidable, using materials that match the original in appearance and quality ensures the integrity of the restoration.

4. Modernizing with Care

While preserving a historic home’s authenticity is essential, modernizing certain aspects is often necessary to meet today’s safety, comfort, and energy efficiency standards. Upgrading electrical wiring, plumbing, and HVAC systems ensures the home is safe and functional.

When introducing modern elements, such as insulation or energy-efficient windows, restoration professionals strive to integrate these features seamlessly. The goal is to maintain the home’s historic charm while ensuring it meets contemporary living requirements.

5. Balancing Restoration with Sustainability

Restoration is inherently sustainable, as it focuses on repairing and reusing existing materials rather than demolishing and rebuilding. Many historic homes were constructed with high-quality materials designed to last, making them ideal candidates for restoration.

By incorporating sustainable practices, such as using eco-friendly paints or restoring old materials instead of replacing them, homeowners can further reduce the environmental impact of their project.

6. The Challenges of Historic Restoration

Restoring historic homes can be challenging, particularly when navigating local preservation regulations or finding skilled craftsmen familiar with traditional techniques. Additionally, uncovering hidden issues, such as water damage or outdated wiring, can lead to unexpected costs.

Despite these challenges, the rewards are significant. A restored historic home offers a unique living experience and serves as a lasting tribute to the craftsmanship and history of its era.

7. Celebrating the Final Result

When the restoration is complete, the result is a harmonious blend of old-world charm and modern functionality. Restored historic homes become more than just living spaces—they are works of art that tell a story. Homeowners can take pride in their role as stewards of history, ensuring that the beauty and legacy of their property endure.

Conclusion

Restoring a historic home is a labor of love that combines respect for tradition with the creativity and skill to adapt to modern needs. It’s a process that not only breathes new life into an old structure but also contributes to the preservation of cultural heritage.

Whether you’re restoring a Victorian mansion or a quaint cottage, the journey is as rewarding as the destination. The end result is a home that’s not just a place to live, but a living piece of history that stands the test of time.

Walk-In Showers: Upgrade to glass-enclosed showers with rainfall showerheads.

Vanity Upgrades: Install double vanities with elegant faucets and ample storage.

Flooring: Use heated tiles or waterproof vinyl planks for a luxurious feel.

Eco-Friendly Fixtures: Low-flow toilets and water-saving faucets are attractive and sustainable options.

2. Maximize Usable Space

Basement Conversions

Transform an unfinished basement into a functional living area. Whether it’s a home theater, guest bedroom, or workout space, added square footage increases your home’s value. Ensure proper insulation and moisture-proofing during this process.

Pros and Cons: Buying a New Home Build vs. a Fixer Upper

Fans of home-flipping shows may think they have what it takes to renovate a fixer-upper. However, in reality, they have a big decision when faced with buying a new or old home. With pros and cons to each, you must weigh your options carefully.

Advantages of Buying New Construction

Buying a new home has perks, such as being ready to move in from the start. If you're planning a new construction, you can tweak features to your liking, from cabinet colors and styles to flooring. New homes also offer far more flexibility when it comes to the layout.

Of course, a new home offers more than just shiny, modern fixtures and finishes. It also means you get brand-new systems and appliances, including your home's roof, plumbing, electrical, appliances and HVAC unit. With this comes builder's and manufacturer's warranties to cover defects, breakdowns and other issues you might face in the first couple of years of ownership. However, it's important to note you'll also have warranties for an older home.

Other advantages of buying a new home build include the following:

Up to code with the latest building and safety standards

Won't require upfront costs for repairs

May come with smart home technologies and energy-efficient products

Often built in a new community with growth potential

Of course, a new community may mean you'll have to wait for amenities. If it isn't a problem for you, getting in at the ground level may be appealing.

How Does a Fixer-Upper Compare to a New Home Build?

New construction could be more expensive than a fixer-upper because of the latter's condition. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the median sales price of a new home was $426,300 in September 2024 — the average was $501,000. As such, people with a tight budget willing to get their hands dirty may be more inclined to buy a fixer-upper.

Whereas potential buyers can customize a new home to their liking, those who purchase a fixer-upper must work with the home's existing layout and limitations. These older homes are ideal for do-it-yourself projects, but you must also be open to working with an experienced contractor to complete a renovation correctly. 

Conversely, new construction is primarily hands-off once the house is built. Leading up to it, you won't have to worry about delays as new construction tends to have tighter timelines. However, if you want to build equity by reselling the house after renovating it, a fixer-upper is your best option.

What to Consider When Deciding Between New and Old Homes

Even with the advantages of new construction, buying a new home build versus a fixer-upper is a complex decision. There is much to consider before putting an offer down. First, you must decide whether to live in or sell the house as a flip. Older homes, in particular, require several expensive renovations to bring them up to today's standards. 

For example, a fixer-upper may have foundation issues you're unaware of — foreclosed or auction houses may not be inspected before the bidder takes possession. This repair could eat into your budget, considering cement costs saw double-digit increases year-over-year in September 2022. The same goes for plumbing and electrical upgrades.

Newer homes are often equipped with energy efficiency, fresh insulation and new appliances, helping you save money. The building warranties will also cover any structural defects. However, newer build neighborhoods may lack the characteristics you'll find in homes in a traditional neighborhood — this may be important to some homeowners. 

The Hidden Costs of a Fixer-Upper

You could pay less for a fixer-upper — on average, an older home costs $225,000 in the U.S. — but you may be left to cover the costs of pricey repairs and replacements once you move in, such as a new $10,000 HVAC unit.

You should be aware of numerous hidden costs associated with fixer-uppers beforehand. For example, older homes are more susceptible to pest and mold problems, which are expensive to remediate. Mold removal is usually $1,223 to $3,749, while mitigating pest infestations is $250 to $850, depending on the severity. 

Other hidden costs may relate to construction permits, upgrades to meet municipal criteria, invisible structural issues and outdated systems. Of course, you may also need to factor in temporary housing costs if you can't live on the property during renovation.

Historic homes, especially, may be more costly to fix. For one thing, you'll need to invest in historically accurate materials to maintain the house's integrity. You'll also need to pay for specialized labor and underdog stricter permitting procedures.

It's always best to consider how strict your budget is to determine if you can afford the hidden costs of a fixer-upper. If you can only afford a $450,000 house, you can buy a new home built on the high end of your budget or buy a home between $350,000 and $400,000 to upgrade the house as necessary.

Buy New or Old? It Comes Down to Budget

Buying something move-in ready may be more costly than an older house, but you won't have to spend time or money on upgrades. Of course, if you have the budget and determination to take on projects, a fixer-upper could be your best option. Consider how much you're willing to spend with enough saved for unexpected repairs. Then, make an informed and realistic decision for your household.
