Are the days of future meetups going to be dedicated to Thursdays or are they going to be a little more fluid?

It does depend on the ground being able to handle the load created (volume of fluids that can be absorbed into the ground).As an area becomes more developed and homes are closer together then a sewage plant is build and lines are put in so that homes can connect.

Even IF they were a low rent tenant, and their belongings total $200, if someone makes a claim against you, it is up to you to provide the proof there was no bags of gold.As to the cleanup of bodily fluids, yes, there are specific measures you must take.

My E&O coverage does not cover me for a lease option deal.This all came about because the attroney general of Texas was getting so many complaints regarding contract-for-deed transactions.The legislature put the brakes on lease options along with contract-for-deeds.Chris is correct,Title must transfer to the buyer in 180 days from date of contract.If not, you are left open to possible DPTA violation.

Do I concentrate in solid mechanics, thermal/fluids, manufacturing and materials, aerodynamics, etc?
