To maximize the space and double storage I created a breakfast bar and pantry from an old hutch painted Lacquer White and frosted the glass to coordinate with the IKEA uppers, built custom shelves/legs stained to match the mahogany in Varithane (American Walnut) which sandwiched the IKEA solid birch butcher block shaved down to 16"  to counter lever the breakfast far-Opposite side had simple stainless HD bracket.

He’s right, cutting the beam by shaving it down doesn’t kill it, just reduces the load potential, but a cut beam speaks all sorts of bad things to an inspector and the way it continues over doorways.

Can you take the shave.  

For the last year, it seems like the SF Rows of ~1000sf 3/1's have been correcting from the surge that happened between 2018-2019.

Not familiar with Dayton, but you might be able to shave a bit off prop mgmt. 

If you've sealed up any mouse hole entrances with steel wool and spray foam, laid down traps then its time to tell the tenant in writing that if they don't stop leaving out snacks for the mice they'll be asked to leave. 4 grand is crazy, you're problem is the tenant. 

You might shave 4-5 days off a 3-3.5 week project.

I'm surprised why you would shave off a perfect contract.

The borrower(s) may have initially purchased the property as one of the following:a natural person;an eligible inter vivos revocable trust, when the borrower is both the individual establishing the trust and the beneficiary of the trust;an eligible land trust when the borrower is the beneficiary of the land trust; oran LLC or partnership in which the borrower(s) have an individual or joint ownership of 100%.The original purchase transaction is documented by a settlement statement, which confirms that no mortgage financing was used to obtain the subject property.

Since it happened on both tubs my guess is a consistent but inferior installation method such as using foam instead of mortar as a bed.
