The shed is also rotten. DH is tearing it down today but it's going to cost a lot to take the debris to the dump. </p> <p>We've only been living here a month! The raccoon is a huge issue bc of our dog. Otherwise we'd probably ignore it for a while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/home-ownership-is-so-fun#post-1626126 Sat, 10 May 2014 07:45:19 +0000 Synchronicity 1626126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That sucks!

Dh is trying to find a contractor to fix it before a baby shower I'm hosting here next weekend. Such a pain!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/home-ownership-is-so-fun#post-1626118 Sat, 10 May 2014 07:32:30 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1626118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamimami: we found mold under our baseboard underneath our bedroom window a few weeks ago, when DH ripped up carpet and put in new flooring. Freaked me out &amp; I'm kind of glad he put in new flooring when he did... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/home-ownership-is-so-fun#post-1626117 Sat, 10 May 2014 07:31:59 +0000 Adira 1626117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man, that sucks!

I found some moisture on the wall of my closet but I have ignored it and hoped it would just go away. That's totally going to work, right? Times like this I wish I could just call the landlord. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/home-ownership-is-so-fun#post-1626097 Sat, 10 May 2014 07:20:25 +0000 MamaMoose 1626097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Booooo I'm sorry!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/home-ownership-is-so-fun#post-1626094 Sat, 10 May 2014 07:19:25 +0000 Smurfette 1626094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH just went down in the basement and made this discovery. Guessing a rock hit it when he was mowing. Glad they are double paned but more expense we didn't need this month. </p> <p>And this makes me realize we really need to clean up the dirt and cleanup the lower patio!</p> <p>[attach=1508/14/n5cy8f.450x600.image.jpg] </p>
