What would cause this?

When we first bought the house, it had the drywall issues like this already. That has not changed. However, the spot in the baseboard just appeared a couple days ago. On the other side is the shower, but not directly where the curve starts. Also, it is not the shower valve/head side. It’s the wall that the water stream hits, so is there even plumbing behind this?

Any help is appreciated. Thank you!!

Baking soda > Zinc.

All your roof needs is some baking soda to kill and keep the moss off. Zinc is a registered pesticide; it kills moss, but it will also damage your garden bed when it goes down through the gutters. The worst baking soda will do is raise the ph of your soil a little bit.

Can I use these windows horizontally in my basement? I have these window buck frames in my basement that are very odd dimensions. My house was built in the 20s so I can’t find any standard basement windows at the big box stores. I found these windows on fb marketplace that are just slightly off but I can make work with a new buck frame. Anyways, the windows I bought are definitely meant to be installed vertically. Could I get away with installing them horizontally if I seal them properly?

Just broke the sink at the house I closed today. So my pants were falling and I leaned back and sat on the kitchen sink. This looks repairable and such in my head . What techniques and or materials do I need ? It lines back up together with a little man power.

The greatest peace you will ever find is when you finally stop apologizing for taking up the space you require to exist.

You spend years shrinking. You compress your needs into small, manageable whispers. You fold your desires into tiny, insignificant corners, always ensuring that your presence never inconveniences the room.

We are taught that goodness is quietness. That virtue is invisibility. That love is the continuous, silent sacrifice of our own requirements.

So you live life leaning against the walls, ready to apologize for the air you breathe, for the laughter that was too loud, for the tears that made others uncomfortable.

And the terrible cost is this: Your whole life becomes an exercise in being half-formed.

The revolution begins in a single, simple realization: You are not a guest in your own life. You are the architect.

The most defiant, self-loving act you can perform is to stand firmly in the center of your own space. To state a boundary without regret. To own a need without shame. To be loud when you need to be loud, and still when you need to be still.

This act of unapologetic fullness is not arrogance; it is survival. It is the declaration that your own integrity is more important than the temporary comfort of others.

Moral: Your worth is not determined by how small you can make yourself. True freedom is the moment you choose to stand fully present, without excuse.
