What is this?
Something is going on. In both my recent apartments, I have had the phenomena that slowly but surely deeply embedded screws from the constructed frames of a room are popping out. First I’ll see the plaster bulging in a 1/2 inch diameter, then it drops off to reveal a long screw which slowly but surely starts moving out of the wall, until there is nothing but a hole left.
THis is weird. I know I have an over active imagination, however I was imagining if I actually am responsible for this, say like if I am magnetic or something. Causing a pull.
Ok I am joking I am not that silly. But please somebody tell me why is this going on?
Possibly shadim?
I have had that . My painter says it was due to a shabby paint job. He claims he fixed it ( Before Pesach) and that now it shouldn’t happen again. So far it hasn’t. It used to happen from neighbors jumping and causing the wall to move.
We had that problem once, it was due to possums in the roof pushing out the screws from the plaster
Hi scissors, nice to hear from you 🙂
Maybe your kids got hold of a screwdriver and are “fixing” things.
Honestly, I would mention this to a Rav well-versed in Kaballah. Even if there is a natural explanation each time for it, it happening to you twice in two different places should have some deeper meaning.
I got this from searching on the web:
In newly constructed homes it is common to see nails/screws popping through drywall. This is due to the wood studs and joists having a high moisture content when a house is constructed rapidly (the old “time is money concept”) and the drywall is applied to the studs before they have had any time to dry. Studs will dry out within the wall space and when this happens dry wall screws can pop as a result.
Moisture could be causing the nails popping out, especially if they are corroded. What I would be most concerned is hidden mold growing behind the dry wall. You need to check and see what might be causing the problem first.
Questions to ask:
How is Your Family’s Health?
Does anyone have allergies or asthma?
Does anyone in your home always seem to have a cold-a runny nose, wheezing, coughing, and headaches?
Do these problems go away when they leave home for a while?
Are there infants, children, or elderly people living in the household?
How Can You Tell if Mold is Growing in Your Home?
Can you see mold growing anywhere?
Is there mildew growing on clothes or towels?
Does any part of your house or apartment smell musty or moldy?
Do you see color changes on walls or floors that you can’t wipe off?
Is There Moisture in Your Home That Could Cause Mold to Grow?
Hey ARWSF!
Nice to see you!
I concur with Sam2 on this. It should not be too difficult to find someone who handles these matters in any Jewish community.
If all else fails, there is always Bob Vila. : )
Hatzlacha.
Moldy old Voldy must be up to something… ^_^
You’re on a ROLL today, mod 42. ^_^
