The horizontal crack also has a movement about 5/8 inch.

The stack of papers from the mortgage for my current house was nearly 3/4 inch thick.ideas ?

At the same time I believe if you give 9 out of 10 tenants an inch, theyre going to take a mile. 

You can continue to "work with her" and she will continue to take every inch you give her and add 3-4 more each time.

@Terri Hoffort:Hi Terri,It might fit into the neighborhood better, if a lot of people also have railings--or start a neighborhood railing trend.And the under porch fancy stuff, typically gets nailed on from behind the porch floor beam vs in front of it, and the bottom should miss the dirt by a few inches to prevent decay.Access--there is usually a window in the basement you can get through under there, or have one of the sides hinged so it swings up out of the way, because if leaves accumulate under there you (might) want to remove them.Good Luck!

It cost tens of thousands of dollars to install the rocks because we hauled away 6 inches of soil, put down 4 inches of crushed concrete base and 2 inches of rocks so we have very few problems with weeds coming up through the rocks and I think we more than recovered our costs in about 7 to 10 years plus we don't have to pay for grass seeds, don't pay for the water and no longer pay a gardener.
