the old owners of my home neglected to get the the eves-troughs fixed (they were shitty landlords), it cost me about 10K for the replacement which will last 20+yrs. the leaking water ruined every window frame in the house, and cost us about 50K to repair that damage. replacing those windows also like halved our heating/cooling bills (and made the upper floors comfortable to exist in). Luckily we got a nice interest free government loan because it’s greenifying our home.
they had all kinds of other landlord specials, like pouring concrete (not levelled right) down the basement drain and making the stairs to the attic out of plywood. fuck landlords. Did I mention they made over 400k on the appreciation of the house and were probably making 2-3K more per month than their mortgage from renting.

My husbands affair! Hahaha…ahhh…
Sucks but I’d rather live alone than with someone who wasn’t in love with me
hurricane. home became homen’t
Lightning struck my late father’s homemade CB radio antenna back in the early 90’s. It made the antenna explode, and fried around 3/4 of every electronic device in the house ☹️
Thankfully the refrigerator survived at least, and of course thankfully the house didn’t burn down.
If he had only properly grounded his antenna and CB radio…
Huh, I was told a story of my father in law having the same thing happen to him, but luckily for them it only burned the electronics that were plugged into the antenna, and one tv that was too close to a radio that also got screwed up. Never got to meet the man though, unfortunately.
My late father was a bit weird and eccentric. He built his custom CB antenna around PVC plastic tubing. Yeah it worked, hell he could communicate around 300 miles radius from the home base.
It worked, until it stopped working…
We ended up scavenging as many pieces of the PVC as we could, to reassemble it as a superglue/jigsaw puzzle haha!
