And when I say rare hairballs, I mean that they most often went to the kitchen tile or cement basement floor to toss up the vast majority, occasionally its a miss and ends up on the carpet.

I was lucky enough not to have a problem but I had some plumbing issues on my last property and the closer we followed the problems to the foundation the more I could picture the jack hammers and checks coming out to get at the pipes cemented in.I will be watching out for this in the future.

It shows a profile with a stairway and rails penciled in, with the notation that a permit, stairs, railings are required for a deck.

Just to add my thoughts, if the house is pretty new (you said 3 years or so), and it's a cement slab foundation, this is likely just typical settling of the foundation.

Hey everyone, So I have a small section of the back yard on this rehab which has cement slab on it that is all cracked.

but i installed a wood stair case in my house with oak treads and popular risers and stringers - $1600 they look awesome.

The interior is semi-complete, it needs flooring, the stairs need refinishing, kitchens and bathrooms are in OK shape, needs new eletrical fixtures and a few other things.

If they are providing any cement board that's needed and providing the thin-set and grout and installation then 2.00 a sq ft is good.

Several tenant advocacy groups have made it clear that residents shouldn't have to worry about lifting their feet high enough to avoid tripping while climbing the stairs.

We had to "rake" the clothes off the stairs so that we could get to the second floor.By my estimation there were at least 4-5 dumpsters of stuff still left in the house.
