The only thing that works is a 4 inch razor blade on a 12 to 14 inch handle. 

Add a deck with railings and flower boxes all the way across the front of the house

We did find some major settling, but without an exploration of the foundation and underneath the deck, we wouldn't have discovered that it is an easy fix that he would have gotten hammered on, when he got to a retail sale.Also, I see that you are in Seattle!  

Hi All, I am hoping to extend a current steal balcony to an existing flat (brick) detached garage and build out a roof top deck on it!

A lot of people paint the stock tank or create a deck around it to make it look really nice.First, it's cheaper and easier to install than a pool or hot tub (can do it in a weekend).

The kind  of renter who won’t pay 3$ for a new smoke detector battery or a swap out a light bulb .my  black lab will leave our cool air conditioned house to go lay in the hot sun out on the deck !

I had flashbacks as it reminds me of the accommodations we had below deck back in '68.

I met w/ my buddy (REO agent) last week and he took me to one of his homes. 3BR/2BA (20yr. old home), rancher w/ deck (needs work), two car, decent community, good schools, close knit comm..

Had some issues with the upstairs bedrooms (configurations were odd) and the converted garage and yard (had a pool with a huge piece of junk deck).I got it for 62k, put in 16k in rehab plus another 7k in closing costs and hard money lender fees.
