However, I have a real bad habit of saying what is on my mind without running it through a verbal filter.

There was no set timeline (should have been a 6wk project, now 5 mo and counting); the budget was mentioned to be about $30k, but was not itemized and was subject to change...but if this man abandoned the project or otherwise caused harm to it, my friend was entitled to quit claim him off and finish the project himself.

my dad just had a new well drilled for about 1,000. he only uses it for lawn irrigation as he gets county water for other purposes.not sure how deep they had to go (it's florida so water isnt too deep). as far as filtration systems, the water quality is pretty rough here in my neck of the woods. i have a sofener for my everyday water (showering, etc) and a RO (reverse osmosis) for potability. i'm a bit of a water conniseur. that's what i drink 99% of the time.i'd suggest ensuring a decent water system as bad water can really harm plumbing/piping.Good luck on tues!!!!

Rentals must be "habitable" in most states and if this one is not, a tenant should never have been allowed to move in.

I wonder if by doing that I will cause more harm than good...Ofgift

It seems to me that it keeps property values in an even more depressed state, doing more harm than good to the communities.Maybe I am missing something?

Let the non profits take on the extras so people help as needed then return to their own lives rather than build a bureaucracy that just feeds off of the system and does more harm than good. in many cases.

Something I have noticed for quite some time is that lenders are not being candid about the depth of the crisis and no one in charge is making them accountable for the harm inflicted on each and every one of us.

Also, NeighborWorks, Habitat or the school district would have to provide a written commitment that describes their intent for the site, a firm timeline for disposition or use of the property, the intended use of the property, the scope of work that would happen and proof that the selected agency had adequate funding to pay for the work.
