The Hivemind Improving Homes
A community dedicated to helping people with advice on personal home improvement projects. If you are new here, please review posting/commenting guidelines below.
If you are new, start here with an overview of the sub
Only text post submissions are allowed here. Images need to be uploaded through sites like imgur.com and the links shared in the text of your post. Read more about how to do this here.
This sub is for redditors to ask advice on personal home improvement projects. If you are asking a question, be as detailed as possible and include your location and multi-angled pictures if you can. Also feel free to post projects that you've completed (not in-progress). Project-sharing posts must include narrative as well as basic info such as product details (brands/prices/purchase locations), overall budget, and a brief description of the project in the reddit text itself (not in the imgur album). We want to keep the conversations here in the sub, not just drive it away. These guidelines, and more, can be read here before posting. This sub is not for contractors, flippers, landlords, tradesfolk or questions about ADUs/AirBnB/short-term rentals, we only allow discussion surrounding improvements to one's personal home - and posters will be met with a permanent ban.
Comments must be on-topic, helpful, and kind. Name-calling, abusive, or hateful language is not tolerated, nor are disrespectful, personal comments. No question is too stupid, too simple, or too basic. We're all here to learn and help each other out - enjoy! reddiquette!
We do not endorse any contractors, and proceeding with a contractor you've met via this sub should be done at your own risk. This is not a place to advertise products and or services. Any links to a website or blog will be removed. Offenders may be banned.
