just make it very, very German, and I'll come by....I'm all for NB showing off it's German roots.

Determine the root of the problem and look everywhere because a house is tied together, when one thing moves it pushes/pulls others. 

Speaking to my western roots you are there!  

Your exposure from a federal fair housing lawsuit could be extremely large, especially since everyone involved already knows that the root of the issues are race related and not garbage related. 

The square root of 16 is 4, and the square root of 4 is 2.  2 is the only even prime number. 

It's such a pain now simply finding an insurance company willing to insure our properties in historic Riverside area of Jacksonville.The most recent issue is that of tree roots in the driveway constituting a "trip and fall" hazard.One company had returned our insurance premium based on "poor access" to water heater even though that problem was specifically resolved at rehab by relocating it to the attic.Another property was deemed uninsurable because it had "aluminum sidings".What is wrong with these insurers?

Septic fields are very simple and have few problems except tree roots.

IF you had a clog and it got pushed to the next root ball inside the pipe. its a headache. 

I am rooting for him - I hope for his sake it works out. 

If you're doing your part to upkeep the property then it's fair to expect the same from the tenant, which is basically what my advice follows.Just ask the tenant what happened so you know the root of the problem.
