"Two people have died in this home from #overdoses since this all started, and #code #enforcement has even cited the #homeowner for not properly maintaining the #house he legally can’t access."

And when the owner called the police, they arrested HIM!!

How the heck does this happen?!? 😡

#homeowner & #electricity enthusiasts of all types of Mastodon - two room's worth of lights won't turn on, but no breaker tripped, replacing the bulbs doesn't to anything, and the lights aren't flickering. Just no power.

Slight problem is: the panel is poorly labeled and I can't ascertain which breaker these lights are associated with. Resetting a bunch didn't help.

Intuition implies this isn't an immediate fire risk, but is it still worth the fee of having an electrician out on the weekend?

I get stupid excited over house related problems and projects, especially when they require equipment I don't currently own.

There's a certain kind of excitement that I feel only when I contemplate having to run to the store for a supply and then, on a hunch, go check the basement, only to find that Past Me stocked up

上上周水池漏水，上周冰箱制冷出问题，虽然都是很小的问题换一下老化的零件，今天收到账单，一个250刀，一个305刀，孩他爸说要是自己买零件换一下就能省很多钱了……关键是你有那技术吗？这钱还不是老老实实得给人家赚

@chad Yay!

It's a whole new world.

Can you really call yourself a #homeowner if you don’t have a pair of pajamas you’ve gotten paint splatter all over because you thought “There’s no way I’ll drop paint doing this small touch up”?

started making a list on my phone of things to fix/upgrade/replace/repaint around the house and let’s just say I’m gonna need a bigger phone. #bastardizedJawsQuote #DIY #homeOwner #neverendingStory

It’s spring, so that’s another weekend of fixing stuff in the yard. Front steps need some love (and a coating), and then a new small-ish brick patio goes in here for trash cans, recycling bins, and perhaps a small herb garden. #homeowner

家里的旧烤箱找人安装上就没好使过，显示屏好用但是一直加热不到温度。拖延症找warranty来修，前天来的人捣鼓半天说可能测温度的坏了，昨天不知道为啥reassign给了另一家电工今天来看。
老哥今天来了后二话不说把烤箱从墙上拆下来，测了半天电，又出去捣鼓电箱，回来后什么都没解释又让我们帮忙装回去。我问他什么问题已经修好了吗他也什么不说就说好了先装回去。装完后先跟我们说电箱只有100A不够用要升级，我给你们换了个电箱breaker是不cover的你们要多给我钱。本着之前跟各种不靠谱的contractor打交道的经验我们都怀疑他在讹钱了。
我只好手动去开烤箱测温度，没想到过了一会真的修好了 :ablobdundundun: 。老大哥开始慢慢跟我们讲原理，说烤箱有两个breaker每个都是120v20A，因为是opposite phases所以是240v，一根接显示屏有电，另一根加热的坏了，因为总电箱控制subpanel的circuit breaker坏了。subpanel一共100A，如果开烤箱最好少用其他电器免得过载都烧了，以后充电车也最高20A。又讲了如果升级电箱可以把panel放进车库呀就不用砸砖墙了，说city的人不靠谱都不跟你们好好解释。
总之学到了很多知识！虽然没学过电路各种英文单词老大哥英文也不好^好多都是我连蒙带猜后来又google明白了一些。没想到是位热心的老大哥，为自己先入为主觉得有些羞愧。不过这种什么都不解释先做的行为也觉得有些老白男，跟各种人打交道还是需要学习啊。

#RacialBias often creeps into #HomeAppraisals.

Years of #homeowner horror stories & a growing body of research has cast a harsh light on how frequently racial bias can skew home appraisals. It's an industry that's dominated by white men whose methods for valuing homes haven't changed much in decades.
