Parts are ridiculously expensive and good repair technicians are hard to find.If you have multiple properties and some storage room, I recommend keeping your eye out for gently used appliances at deep discounts.

please provide any feedback but be gentle with you criticism/advice......I'm just joking let'er rip!

If the lowest grade can be raised to the BFE or higher without violating residence codes (most require soil be a certain distance away from your lowest floor to prevent moisture wicking, rot, critters, and termites), then you may be eligible to get an exception from FEMA called a LOMA - if you are successful the LOMA essentially states the property is out of the flood zone and you will get normal flood premiums.Summary: Government backed loans require the buyer to use FEMA premiums for flood zones, they will be high, and cannot be shopped through private flood insurance.

Hi guysMy first post, be gentle.

I shared in not-so-gentle terms how I had been pitched HARD by one of their agents. 

I have only known water damage as that yellowish stain.I thinking thats water damage, do you have a moisture meter, they sell them on amazon for like $75. 

It was rusted had open spots in the panel and moisture damage was present the main wire had what appears to be burn damage on it coming from outside of the box. 

With its gently rolling yard and mid century charm this home is truly unique.

As a rehab manager myself I will say that your contractor is smart, he is trying to gently assert that its "HIS" project once you signed the agreement. 

More specifically, for the binder, you need a "sun resistant single component moisture cured polyurethane that has ~10% isocyanate, a low viscosity, and a high percentage of MDI."
