:@Joe Villeneuve1% Rules are for fools- I'm trying to sharpen my tools :) Eat a lot of fiber for better stools.

Hi Apurva,53 units -- It would be smart to talk to an Architect who does multi-family (In your general area) about the cost of doing a restyle as well as colors.Especially if you choose a Hardie (Fiber Cement type) product.With Hardie (Type) products, read the upkeep instructions, some require re-applying the joint sealers (factor that into your maintenance budget).Also with Hardie (Type) products there is a service life to the color...some come pre-colored, some your contractors must paint on site, (some require priming of cuts when installed)---talk to the Architect about the maintenance schedule and the CAPEX for this.Hardie makes big sheets of this for multi-family that Architects can use for visual effect and ease of installation.With 53 units--springing for an Architect to help with this would be intelligent.Good Luck!

Spray bottle with 1/4 vinegar and water- light spray wipe all the walls and rinse with clean damp micro-fiber rags (ring out hard) rinse with plain water.

Hi BP's friends... Please give me your input on your shingle company preference and why? were there any problems, what would you remember to do or consider with your next roof purchase...any input is welcomed...I live...

This is an artificial supply constraint, telling someone they get to keep living there, but don't have to pay their mortgage, and it's not going to impact their FICO score, is no different than paying corn farmers not to grow corn. - Easy money, low rates.

Hi Drew,I looked at Kearney, and it looks like a nice small town, a long way away from the bigger cities.[1] Now you say you want to "Connect" and "Network" -- and ask what can do to provide value to others.Way too wide of mesh in your net...tighten it up--what do you want to get from others--focus on that vs what can you give to them.You cannot find a needle in a haystack unless you FOCUS on finding it.Don't worry about what you can give to others--it's probably nothing they really want or need.[2] Focus on making Business Friends...get invited over to Don and Betty Drapers house for a BBQ, or Christmas Caroling.Not friends like in High School, but Business Friends...You might be the youngest person there.Pull out our wallet and invite 20 people (you have know for at least 6 mos) to a chicken and corn BBQ at your place, if only 1 shows up--that's better than zero.

I’m brand new to REI. I’m stoked but I need to find some others who are running in the same direction. Let me know! I’m glad to buy a coffee, beer, or meal. I didn’t see any recent posts on the events page in this reg...

If you're determined to use concrete, ensure either you or your installer is using fiber reinforcing or wire mesh reinforcing.

These sites say removing it also requires disrupting it, and even asbestos certified professionals are likely to still allow small amounts of asbestos fibers to escape. 

Once asbestos is breathed into your lungs it goes through the tiny fibers in your lungs and remains
