there was cat pee and human odor throughout the house, the front door had been smashed in and it was without a security screen, the kitchen bench tiles were breaking off and the wood underneath was sinking in due to it constantly being wet and moulded out, the skirting boards were disgusting and the shower had so much soap scum that it took me 8 times with bleach and hard scrubbing to get it halfway decent followed by another 6 times to get it to where it was clean enough.

If the grout itself looks to be in pretty good condition (just dirty) then you have a few choices here...edited to add: if your shower floor leaks its not because of the grout....its because of the lack of membrane underneath the cement board or improperly installed drains...

However, the only place I have actually met someone who had their property stolen out from underneath them was in a US city where I have my office.

They just know the bottom has fallen out from underneath their business, and they want it proped up.

A friend used a jackhammer to loosen the "soil" so I could put in a sapling...Ofgift

In case I have to put out an additional sum I am looking for some range guidance.The house was built in 1977 and is only 24X40 (960 sq ft) with a small crawlspace underneath (about 2-3 feet) on cement block foundation.

The soil in pretty bad, very sandy, and would have to have a lot of amendment to get sod to take.

Is this sheet the "Property Analysis Tool" underneath the "popular links" section on the left hand side?

If the soil is unstable or prone to expansion and contraction the slab could crack.

are these the inside of the cabinets, or underneath the bottom?
