Susan Ball+FollowThis Weed Is Basically a Backyard VillainEver heard of Japanese knotweed? One homeowner found this aggressive invader in their yard and Reddit went wild with warnings. This plant doesn’t just crowd out your flowers—it can actually mess with your soil and even damage buildings! People shared horror stories and tips for getting rid of it (spoiler: it’s tough). The consensus? Act fast, dig deep, and maybe plant some native seeds to fight back. What’s your biggest yard headache? #Home #HomeownerProblems #InvasiveSpecies4614Share
David Hernandez+FollowSomething is growing on the basement wall (gross)They are both between the size of a golf ball and a tennis ball. One of them looks like it is weeping a sap and water mixture. Yuck. This house was built 120 years ago. Any thoughts? #HomeHacks #WhatIsThis #BasementRenovation #Gross #HomeownerProblems #HomeMaintenance #WhatsThis #Mystery 11Share
Thomas Clark+FollowMy house has become a drainage nightmareWe bought our dream homes, but they have quickly turned into a living nightmare. Every time it rains, our front yards turn into disgusting, mosquito-infested swamps. The so-called "swales" that were supposed to drain the water just fill up like little ponds. We've reached out to the home builder a dozen times, but they just act like it's no big deal and refuse to do anything. We even went to the county, but they just say their hands are tied. It feels like we have been completely abandoned. We poured our savings into these houses, and now we're left with this mess. We've tried everything we can think of, but we are out of options and out of hope. We just feel so defeated. I am begging for any advice from anyone who has gone through something like this before. What did you do to fix it? 😭 #HomeownerProblems #DrainageDesign #DIY #HomeImprovement #AskForHelp #HelpNeeded #Home #HomeMaintenance 1016Share
Jennifer Russell+FollowVacation surprise. The basement bathroom door was totally gnawed onJust got back from vacation, and found our basement bathroom door looking like this. You can see it's really chewed up at the bottom. We're all trying to figure out what could have caused this kind of damage. It looks pretty deliberate, almost like something was trying to get in or out. Has anyone ever seen damage like this on a door? #HomeMystery #HouseDamage #VacationSurprise #WhatsHappening #AnimalDamage #HomeownerProblems #HelpNeeded #HomeMaintenance #Home 2522Share
