His studio apartment was quite small and felt even smaller due to the ominous presence of a giant cross made out of heavy hand-hewn timbers, which he would haul around the courtyard and perimeter of the apartment complex nightly while wearing not much besides an actual crown of thorns, while drinking red wine and flagellating himself with a leather whip, reliving the blood sacrifice that redeemed us all as a way to thank Jesus for delivering him from the box of snakes (and freaking out the other residents in the apartment complex in the process, although weirdly they all just kind of ignored him). 

I recommend walking the perimeter of your home and looking for any small holes around the foundation. 

I should also note the ceiling is vaulted but I am thinking I would only bring the new extension up to, at most, the perimeter wall height (8ft).

I would cut out vents on t he second floor, run my flex to the vents and the frame the perimeter of the first floor ceiling about 15 inches lower and install high hats and drywall.

I only intended to walk the perimeter, but the neighbor came out to check his mail and I chatted him up. 

We offer quarterly inspections with perimeter spray inside.

I am in Sandy Spring/Perimeter area just off Ga-400/285.

@Alex Hostetler Atlanta (or at least outside the perimeter) is a fantastic place to invest and there are plenty of deals that cash flow, you just gotta be looking in the right places and be ready to buy when you find them.  

The majority of the properties are located inside the perimeter in Fulton with a few outliers (6) in Dekalb and Clayton.
