The first notices went to the ones paying the lowest amount(450), to gauge the level of resistance, and did not seem to be a problem.

^^ Sorry, couldn't resist ("That's where we wanna go.. way down in Kokomo..")Anyways..

It's hard to resist sometimes though.

A 2.5 would work if it has a good finish(for scratch resistance such as Aluminum Oxide or Ceramic Bead) Grip strip is not the easiest product to work with if you are a beginner.

Don't waste your time building a buyers list - I know it's hard to resist, because it made so much sense when "the guy" explained it *ggg* but trust me, if you get a decent deal under contract: it will sell just like Mark said.

We human tend to take the path of least resistance.

I don't regret coming out of college debt free and resisting the urge to get even more schooling, that I probably wouldn't have used.  

Also oxidation happens to this wire and it build faster when the wire become or are lose.

The issue is this:  The stamped concrete is textured and sealed with a slip resistant sealer in order to avoid slip hazards; however, it is still slippery when compared to the bare concrete on the rest of the sidewalk, especially when it rains.  

I am now looking into Middletown, CT it's a small town but it has both Wesleyan University and Middlesex Hospital which I like because they are both recession resistant.
