My main interests are for low cost insulators for non-residential applications, but if I can integrate micro rebar or other enhancements and achieve a code compliant (by PSI compression test) formula, then it's a matter of finding a PE to sign off on a floor, foundation or wall application.

Contractor is adding 2-3 inches layer of concrete and he says the 2-3 inches bottom part of this wood column will be covered in concrete.

I actually think I will need a few inches on their property (won't mess up the parking though), just so i have enough space to pull all the way down to a really old garage I have in the back, the way I can now.

Reading Avery Carl's recent STR book and came across a partnership structure I'd like to hear more about in ch. 3, if anyone has details or experience.

One unit is currently vacant which I toured today and the windows looked to be in rough shape but the thing I am most concerned about is in the bedroom there was mold in one corner growing on the drywall that started about 2 inches up the wall and ended about 6 inches up the wall.

That's what most of them say.....Fun fact about myself:I am 1 inch shorter than when my youngest daughter was conceived and then born....motorcycles are FUN and apparently dangerous, but I can't wait until I can send my two girls off to college and buy another bigger one....2 wheels are life!

The basement was full - every inch of the basement was filled floor to ceiling with tires. 

After I bought the property, I removed (without filing for a permit) 2 large pine trees that were growing extremely close to the property (like: trunks being 6 inches from touching the house - dropping huge quantities of needles and branches on the roof and doing who knows what damage to the foundation).  

Thinking along those lines, head my advice to stay active, the advice and perspectives of others will greatly enhance your level of expertise and before you know it, you will be answering other members questions.
