If they've been smoking in it for years this might not work but I mixed a solution of vinegar and warm water and wiped down about every square inch of walls and windows in a rental where it smelled very bad of smoke.

Get to us via our website or give us a call...been a crazy day or two with about 15 inches of snow in KC!

If it has gone thru a cycle of seasons and its only an inch at all settling points, I wouldnt be afraid of the deal.

We add salt to a dish to enhance flavor and when just the right amount is added, we dont consciously even recognize the salt.

To be honest, I don't know what is holding the roof up, but from my initial inspection and what I included in the pictures has been severely burnt to the point it more char than actual wood.As for the foundation, there is at least a 3-5 inch slope across the 2nd floor.

8am--headed to the newly acquired and renovated rental property for some final 'fix it' items: repair window, connect gas stove, mount hand rail for basement stairs, pick up fridge, and meet guy who is building egress covers and ladders.Oh yeah, forgot to mention that it is our first real snow storm of the winter-8 to 10 inches.

Even houses built in the 1950 & 1960 usually did not have wall insulation, maybe 3 inches in the attic and single pained windows.

I literally had to look down and walk inch by inch to get anywhere so I wouldn't step on something.Neighbors came by next door and I told them they couldn't come inside but they saw from outside of main entry door and couldn't believe it.
