@Chris Baxter thanks, I see some of them have resistance of more then 30 minutes.Do you know if they typically require the metal frame to be changed as well?

Most assets in self direction are hard assets-real estate, a note with real estate as collateral, ownership or interest in a private placement, physical precious metals, all of which are hard to dispose of by the Ira company and would raise flags fairly quickly.

I am just not sure how it will look after the roofers install metal coping etc there, or they would be careful about "aesthetic" details :)Exterior/wood is also deteriorating, but I guess a painter can scrape the old paint and caulk for waterproofing.

I think the metal detectors would still serve a separate purpose.

Gold and other precious metal scenarios are far from assured from working.

There were also some gouges in the tile from a bed frame with metal feet. 2 hours with a power buffer and a total cost less than $200, and the entire floor looks like new again.

Two jacked alternatives: 1.Remove the ceiling finishes and apply a corrugated metal ceiling on the ceiling side of the joists and fur so that slopes to drainage 2.

i do exactly what rob said. all my houses were from the 50's and they all have just 2 wires. you could put a GFCI in each box and spend a few hundred dollars and would look silly. you dont have to have the GCI grounded in order to be to code and would still trip correctly.or you can just put 2 prong outlets (hate the cost).nothing else is correct. not a false box, not wiring the neutral to ground, not installing a metal box and wiring the ground to the metal box. nothing. except running a ground wire all the way back to the box.

But to add depth for insulation & wiring runs we positioned 2x4's on edge & secured them onto the block using a metal decking bracket, also secured with a nail shot into the block.

In asking about it, the realtor said this was common in the area due to metal theft (copper pipes in same house had been cut out, etc).
