Has anyone gotten rid of load bearing walls and regretted it? I may have to move some walls to get a bigger pantry and a mud room, but have a fear that the house will fall down. Will of course do it the right way with a structural engineer and a licensed contractor. Want to go from photo one to something more like photo 2, but not exactly since I want the foyer to great room walkway to be a little wider than it currently is in photo 2. Still deciding.

What are the tiny, everyday moments that still hit you like a freight train?

For example: driving home in what looks like a completely normal afternoon, pulling out your phone to check the weather, and BAM—“flash flood warning” and a 100% chance of storms appear halfway through your commute. Suddenly your dry shoes are floating in a half‑inch of water and someone’s still trying to parallel park in the flooded lot like it’s a Tuesday…Only in Houston.

Another day a few years ago I was driving north to work on 288/69 on a snow day, and someone was literally driving the other way on the interstate. Very few cars on the road that day because of snow, but still… WTH…SMH… only in Houston.

It’s that weird mix of “why is this normal?” and “I wouldn’t want it any other way.”

So what’s your most “Yep, this is Houston” moment?
Could be the weather, traffic, a random taco truck line stretching into the next county, or some bizarre “only‑in‑Houston” stranger interaction—anything that felt like the city personally wrote the script for that exact scenario.

I think my cleaning ladies damaged my relatively new tub (2025 remodel) with a pumice stone. It is a textured tub and has scratches in it that have turned the textured/raised parts gray. Should I reglaze or replace? Is it cheaper to reglaze?
