Bike course is ridiculous and has almost 7k ft of elevation change with a handful of 20% and 30% grades.

Today milled lumber is graded so that the engineer can, with reasonable accuracy, calculate the maximum loads that it can handle and select the most economical member.

Due to poor grading and drainage for the last 25 or so years, there was a negative lip abutting the front of the duplex that had to be corrected.

If it's November, and there are 14, 3/2 ranchers, 1600-2000 sq ft in a one mile radius, they may need to finance the deal if they really are motivated to sell.These are all greater motivators than arguing that their money will be invested at a better rate than other alternatives, but this is a point to make in every deal.If anyone needs an explanation of these aspects, just ask, I'll drill deeper or dumb it down to a grade school level

If it has a long run the grade has to be just right as to not let the water run off faster than the solids.

Hey Guys,Could you explain how you determine what grade a neighborhood is from A - D?

Is it normal to have a place in high demand in a "C" grade neighborhood?

(LOL) Condos with basements are common here, the fire-common wall footing is below the slab grade and extends up to the roof.Nice walkouts are possible in these hills, I'm surprised you wouldn't have them in CO

In my mind that is barely enough to do a nice rental grade mostly cosmetic rehab.

I'm probably going to fill it with a high quality, mold-resistant silicone caulk (shower grade).Generally speaking, I think the more sealer you use the better.
