I am a partner in a granite fabrication facility.

Hello,I’m a first time home buyer (21 years old) and car enthusiast.I’m looking to just buy a house with a big garage and get to tinkering with my hobbies and do a little fabrication as well.

Dig hole, get inspection, put in sand, get inspection, put in stone, get inspection, set tank and lay pipe, get inspection, lay fabric fill in to grade, get inspecton.

I funded a start up for a steel fabrication company, he was an engineer with 20+ years, had collateral after inventory was pledged with his assets, good credit, and had contracts to fill.

We started a steel fabrication business and made communication and computer racks and switching boxes.

"The only business in the world is the business of making money"True but this implies that fabrications are at times a means to an end..well so much for ethics I guess..

I have never priced or replaced anything associated with that metal though.The glass seams high for single pane, if it is insulated then they have to come out and take measurements and send off for fabrication.

At the micro level....Food, clothing and shelter being the main three required anywhere.IMO, in hard times, such as the Great Depression, people will "make do", clothing and textiles are products that can be ignored by most consumers, items owned can be repaired, traded and fabricated from other items, like Scarlet's gown from drapes.

He also made me a drawer box that I am certain was removed (stolen) from the house while it was listed on the MLS presumably by a prospective investor.Anyhoo, who did you use to fabricate your slab and how much below $20 sq ft did it cost?

I've never heard of WF coming to a low income area.http://www.nola.com/business/index.ssf/2013/02/developer_reveals_more_details.htmlThese properties cash flow already, but keep in mind with a headache awaiting given the current economic fabric of the neighborhood.
