They framed over the siding and put a slanted roof on it and sealed the gaps in between with great stuff and called it a day.

The Project Manager at Habitat advised me that I would need to seal the tile several times.

They also recommended we have a basement company come in and really seal up the basement, and this would include digging around the house to install pipes to help water flow away from the house; $10-15k.They also found a small amount of mold in the basement, and a good amount of mold in the attic; approximately $4,500 to remove.To top it all off, they noticed that there had been a fire in the basement; the subfloor above is black/charred. 

A technician showing-up to install activate/install a service is not to run any new cabling or install a dish unless they are provided with a written letter from us instructing them precisely what the may affix to the property and where.A few years ago an installer for a local ISP drilled a hole in through the wall of one of our properties - in spite of the fact we had pre-installed a conduit specifically for communications cabling when we air sealed and insulated the building envelope.  

@David Seale California property doesn't make me any money.

Seal grout.

I painted the cement floor with a grey waterproof sealing paint and looked super and passed the smell test.. 

And there are now battery units where they are sealed so the battery is not removable.  

A non-slip additive was then put into the seal coat to reduce slip hazard.

If it is not stained or sealed yearly it will only get worse.
