Joseph Norris+FollowWhy are there fruit flies coming out of my outlet? 😵💫For the last couple of days, I've seen fruit flies coming out of my electrical outlet. There's no old fruit in the kitchen or anything else nearby. I swear the only thing I've plugged in there is my Apple charger. #PestControl #WeirdProblems #AskForHelp #HomeRepair #DIYFail #FruitFlies #HelpNeeded #Infestation #LifeHacks #HelpNeeded 4757Share
Justin Guerra+FollowI told the contractors not to touch our tree. They cut it anyway. 😭I am so frustrated right now. We had some contractors building a new fence and I specifically told them to be careful around the big old tree we have on our property line. I was very clear about it. Well, they just went ahead and cut a huge chunk out of the side of it. To make matters worse, they ended up realizing they were building the fence on the wrong side of the support beams anyway. It was all for nothing. The tree is beautiful and I am so worried about it now. Is this damage definitely going to kill the tree? What are the chances it can survive this? I would really appreciate any thoughts you all have. 😢😢 #ContractorIssues #HomeownerProblems #AskForAdvice #Gardening #DIYFail #Home 45Share
Thomas Clark+FollowI've only owned a house for a while and I already hate it 😮💨😭I bought my first house a year ago and I already regret it. There is always something that needs to be done. It feels like I haven't had a single month to just relax!! One minute I am dealing with a yard full of dead grass and weeds, and the next my new dishwasher breaks. Then a hole in the basement fills up with water because of something called a sump pump. I am learning everything the hard way. I was a lot happier when I was renting and could just call maintenance to fix things. I love not sharing a wall with people, but I am starting to think homeownership is not for me 😭😭😭 #HomeownerProblems #DIYFail #Home #HomeOwnership #HelpNeeded 4482Share
David Hernandez+FollowThis Water Tank Stand Is Going to Collapse Badly!!Someone is building a stand for a massive 275-gallon water tank. It looks so flimsy it might not even hold a lawnmower, let alone a tank that weighs almost 2,300 pounds when it's full. The whole thing is an absolute nightmare. The support columns are already sinking into the soft ground, and the horizontal beams are bending just from the empty tank. If they fill the tank just a little bit more, the whole thing is going to snap at the connections. It's built so poorly that when it finally gives out, it's going to collapse in a really bad way! #DIYFail #ConstructionNightmare #HomeImprovement #DIYProjects #Home 10Share
patrick16+FollowWhat car repair ended up just being way too much? 😮💨I had one of those last week trying to help a friend. We were just trying to replace the alternator in his 2005 Chrysler Town & Country. I've done alternators in parking lots before. But this van was a nightmare. There was literally one bolt we could not get to without taking apart the whole entire vehicle. We tried everything. We gave up. Even a mechanic friend of ours was stumped by it! It took me calling my uncle, who works as a machinist, to finally figure it out. Turns out we needed this wild tool which was basically a wrench welded onto a five-foot metal bar. He had to bring it over himself because it was the only one at his shop. 😓 Sometimes no amount of YouTube videos or determination can save you. What about you? #CarRepair #MechanicNightmare #DIYFail #AutoRepair #ShareYourStory 10Share
Thomas Woods+FollowThe rock drainage pit didn’t drain... and now I’ve got a mini pond. help!!!I recently built a rock drainage pit at the corner of my yard to handle runoff from a gutter extension. I ran water through the gutter for 10 minutes to test it... and two hours later, I’ve got myself a stagnant little rock pool. Hardly any drainage happened. The soil underneath is super compacted, and I’m starting to think the landscaping fabric might be making things worse by trapping the water. I’m in Central Texas, if that helps with any soil/climate-related suggestions. Any tips on how to actually get this thing draining properly? I'm already dreading having to shovel all the rocks back out again, so if there's a way to fix it without starting from scratch, I’m all ears. Thanks 🙏🙏🙏 #DrainageDesign #YardWork #DIYFail #LandscapingAdvice #NeedHelp #Landscaping #Home #Backyard 00Share
