FUN TIMES fixing that, cutting cement, reconnecting and back filling dirt and pea stones under the pipe.

If you need it higher than that install a small piece of cement board under the sill.

Based on the above, debating whether vinyl siding is appropriate vs. fiber cement, etc..

Made progress, but still more to come. 3 gallons are being delivered today.The new cement patio has been poured.

I do not agree that if a tenant trips on a stair, are they going to sue for $6.5M because they figured out how much your assets are worth.  

Then get some fast setting  hydraulic cement and mix it up a bit wet and fill the bag .

When we walked the property we came out with about $5,000 or so or of repairs needed on this property for various items such as : stairs to top unit (it's a triplex), roof repair, carpet repair one unit, slight water damage in the a/c vent from the swamp cooler.

Has stairs only and no elevator?

We decieded that we needed to give the future tenants a backyard so we had to pay an excavator to dig out the yard and build a railroad ties retaining wall and pull off the 2 decks and replace them with cement patios and put a fence there to give each tenant a private patio area and that cost at least an extra $4,500?.  

Just asked hubby and he said that you just screw the cement board down and it's easy to install.
