Three toilets needed new flaps, though of course the real acid test will be my next bill - then I'll know if the status quo has been restored.

Here is a breakdown of our costs from builder:*Lot Clearing $2,500*Excavation $2,500*Septic $5,000 (Not really part of foundation/excavation)*Concrete Footers $3,600*Concrete Block $6,300*Formwork for pool $900 (Not part of a typical cost)*Coping around pool $200 (not part of a typical cost)*Basement slab $5,808*Slab acid wash stain $1920 (Serves as flooring for 1,011sf lower level)*Rebar $1,500*Masonry Labor $2,500*Waterproofing and footer drain $2,000TOTAL - $29,728 for excavation and foundation (not including septic)This cabin is a 1,011sf footprint with 6 corners, 9' basement walls, and an easy build/excavation as far as slope.

In addition, the following are not covered as part of the tune-up: •Filters•Clearing of condensate line stoppages•Recharging of refrigerant•Evaporator/indoor coil cleaning, including acid cleaning•Cleaning or unclogging services required to correct problems related to the lack of manufacturer recommended maintenance (filters must be replaced monthly)•Geothermal systems, ductless mini-split systems, boilers, and oil furnaces•Rooftop unitsHSA® plans cover the repair or replacement of many system and appliance breakdowns, but not necessarily the entire system or appliance.

Days on the market are like acid to your asking price, so don't hold out for some dream Bay Area Buyer who's going to pay you all-cash and 40% more than your home is worth.

Remove historic pieces, have them "dipped and stripped" in acid bath to remove lead paint, and reattach2.

For an acid test I worked for me.

Fortunately with rain storms and acid rain from industries this doesn't build up on a car but inside where it has nothing to affect the build up you might notice the floor being harder to get that clean look and things actually trapped under the shine.

@Nicho PruettIf they didnt flush it just replace the toilet if the did get a gallon or 2 of muriatic acid will eat through the concrete then flush with water no worries

I've treated some buildings myself and it's a fair amount of work but saves quite a bit of money.I have no experience with the Boracare but from the name am guessing it contains boric acid which kills ants/termites.

These can be cleaned with vinegar or citric acid or replaced to restore pressure.8.
