Hey all,

My wife and I are in the middle of trying to DIY renovate our first home.

I just pulled out an old bathroom vanity and found that the previous owners tiled around the cabinet rather than under it. I’m planning to install a new vanity soon.

I have a questions about the plumbing situation.

Looking in the crawlspace, I see a lot of green oxidation on the copper joints. Is this a major issue that I should be concerned about? Since the wall is easily accessible right now, should I preemptively cut this out and replace it with PEX or new copper? Or is that green patina normal for its age?

Honestly, I have so many damn projects right now, that I’m tempted to just leave the plumbing alone since it’s working and not leaking (I confirmed that there are no leaks). But what do you think?

Appreciate any advice on how to move forward!

Hey all,

I’m a first time homeowner who is in the middle of having a roof installed, with new mounts for solar.

Overall, it looks like a solid job so far (I’ll include pictures). But I did spot a couple of potential concerns. Hoping to get feedback from professionals about whether I should bring this up with my roofer, or if it’s not something I should worry about.

There is an area near the edge of the roof where it looks like someone may have stepped and crushed the shingles (I will include an image for a reference). Is this just a cosmetic issue, or something that I should bring up with my roof roofer because it might cause a problem down the line?
My contract, says that the mounts for my solar system will be fully flashed. But since the shingles are already installed, is it even possible for the roofer to fully flash the mounts at this point?
there’s a spot where it looks like one of the plastic tops to the underlayment nails is revealed. Is this just cosmetic, or something I should bring up?

If it matters, I’m paying about $30,000 for a roof on a 1200 square-foot home. So I didn’t go with the lowest bit.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
