Build the brand name overtime and also added beer and wine licenses etc.

And added a gorgeous Wine Room.

I wrote a welcome note to each guest, stocked the fridge with cans of bubbly water, bottle of wine and snack bars.

If the work is really shoddy, it may be best to tear it down.I've had properties with un-permitted work that have sold at or above market, especially if the un-permitted work was unique, added real value to the home, and wouldn't be approved otherwise (un-permitted space converted into a cool loft or wine room for example).

Real estate is like a fine wine.... 

Below is a pic for reference and if you're just starting out you should punt on these.Going back to the original question, if you do have issues with an older brick building, a lot of times running the steel I-beam across the basement in place of the old wooden one which has bent over time, gets the job done to minimize sagging on the first floor and sound-up the foundation. 

Juice boxes, wine, melting frozen pops, magic markers, trails of Cheerios, secret stickers, and vacationers who leave their common sense at home have caused more trouble.

Besides safety, the maintenance and life of the deck and stairs are compromised because of items sitting on the wood not letting it dry properly and restricting the ability to clean and maintain it.There shall be no use of grills on the wooden deck because it can cause a fire hazard and can damage the wood with grease or ash.

I have also invested in areas that were duds.. so not all wine and roses.

You might like to buy beer from a large vendor like Total Wine or a huge grocery store chain or you might like to go to that small corner store that gives you great service and recommendations...and often times great prices. 2) You can visit every liquor store in the state, or you can visit a couple in your neighborhood and figure out who has the best service and pricing.
