Within a couple days we were pouring a cement floor in the previously dirt basement and setting footings for 26 lally columns so the building wouldn't collapse.

When personal property is affixed to the structure by means of bolts, screws, nails, cement, glue or other permanent attachment, it becomes a 'fixture' which is part of the real estate.

I had a unit where I had laid laminate in the kitchen around a cement pad for the ancient stove.

Thanks @Ben SkoveEverything around the house is either paved or cemented with an away slope. 7" of rain this month and another 1" today plus that tomorrow, I'm thinking it must be the water table.

As it turned out, I had lots of excitement and very little damage because the floor is a slab... so I guess my testimony is cement floors has been very very good to me!

For one although the tiles were installed on a cement board underlayment, under that is old wood plank flooring (with a lot of flex) that was in bad condition.

Right after they moved HOA started the project to redo all hallways (it is Florida so all outside) and sidewalks with the new cement.  7pm last night they allowed people to leave units and my tenant went with his wife who is in wheelchair outside.

The rail would certainly do the job of preventing a fall because we would fasten into the cement, but the manufacturer seems to be getting themselves of the hook and the buyer on it.So to conclude will LLCs do the job of protecting your personal assets or not?

However, in areas more likely to be affected by the water (like behind a tiled tub or shower surround), you should actually be using cement backerboard.

Neighbor's shed demolished by our tree, ripping up cement in a 1910 home to figure out why the cellar basement has been clogged since Truman was president, painting a fence because the neighborhood complained to the city that it was eye sore, replace a balcony rail on a half porch because a 100 year old tree used it to conveniently break its fall (at least that was the only damage it did).
