What's the best way to fill these holes in my laundry room? ( sh.itjust.works )
My goal is to keep hot/cool air from seeping between floors. Is canned spray foam the way to go? Any recommendations? Pest resistance is a bonus.

Recently had a new standing seam metal roof installed. Roofers could talk the talk but I was not impressed with the quality of work overall....
Edit: Resolved. Decorative brick is actually a chase and doesn't need to be completely filled in. Thanks to @Death_Equity for advice on rebuilding the crown....
EDIT: I ended up using epoxy. Thank you for the help.
I've tried scrubbing it several times with bar keepers friend soft cleanser and although it improves, it never goes away completely and it always comes back....

Okay, my first ever drywall and I know what I did wrong. I just didn't think that small indifference would make it look obviously bad....
Hi folks,...
I’m pretty new to this. I was considering replacing it with something else because it leaks slightly from the valve if it gets moved around at all, but I don’t know what this connection is to start with. It goes to a dishwasher.
Hey… I bought tiles a year ago and they looked good in the store....
This corner of the shower seems to be having some mold issues from regular use. Water seems to be collecting in that spot after a shower and doesn’t seem to be draining properly. Is there anything I can do for a permanent fix?...

My project is going slowly, but I finished building and painting the feature wall in my son’s new bedroom. Now I just need to install and program the LED strip along the top!...
Hey!...
I am putting a mountain feature wall in my son’s new bedroom....
I am renovating my son’s bedroom and trying to make the walls as nice as is reasonable before repainting. There are a few cracks like this in the paint. It looks like on top of the drywall there is paint, wallpaper, and then a few more layers of paint. The cracks could be at the seams of the drywall from expansion and...
1950s house with block foundation. I’ve patched these areas with hydraulic cement. That didn’t work so I stripped and cleaned the areas thoroughly then repatched. It improved but still getting lots of leaking where the foundation and floor meet or just above....

It’s leaking right where the arrow is pointing. It only leaks when it’s refilling the tank after each use. The two outside carbon filters were new in March but the middle (reverse osmosis) filter is probably a year or more older. I’m hoping it just needs a new RO filter and that it’s only leaking because it’s clogged....
I have a small barn like structure on the back of my property that I have started fixing up. Previous owners have done stuff to it as well and I came across this part in the loft. As can be seen in the pictures this light shining through into the inside from the soffit/facia, if that’s what it would be in this scenario....
