That’s exactly how it feels. I thought having a green roof would be low-maintenance, but tracking down leaks is wild. Water showed up in my hallway la...
That musty smell is exactly what made me nervous, too. I kept telling myself it was probably nothing, but after hearing stories like yours, I’m glad I...
Yeah, I totally thought gutter cleaning was just another “homeowner tax” until I watched a mini waterfall pour over the side during a storm. I’m still...
That’s funny, I had a tarp fly off during a storm and land in my driveway—didn’t realize til the morning. I’ve wondered about those patch tapes too, b...

Haha, that's awesome. I've mostly done the hose test from the top, but now you've got me curious. Last fall, I found a tennis ball and a bunch of sogg...
I put sedum mats on my porch roof last year too, and honestly, I was skeptical at first (plants on a roof? really?) but they've held up surprisingly w...
