Inspection turned up a follow-up suggestion:  "If I were you, I'd get a drain tile test"  I asked the seller if it would be ok, they said yes, house needed new drain tile system and foundation wall re-enforcement: $15k. 

I remember studying for exams using old tests from a different university and then seeing the exact same questions on my exam. 

I did flight test engineering, electronics engineering, etc.

I put in my lease that the landlord will change the HVAC filters and test smoke/CO2 detectors every 90 days.

We had to remove one once and do extra soil testing and I think we spent about 7K total on that.

Don't mistake that for jumping in with both feet before testing the water, though. 

@Dylan Mathias • 1% Rule - Quick, easy, usually the first test it needs to pass

The course and materials to get license is going to run me about $4-500 and about 12 hours of study and testing.

They needed a blue dye test, but didn't keep me updated, until I finally asked and they said they had filed it with the wrong department or town. 

In my world a Contractor is a business owner , someone who has sat down taken tests to get licenses in 1 or more trades .
