But i stood on it, and it held up (i am not light any more). 

i was wondering if one exist in the past. what we did was compare the applicants to each other in excel. we just put the categories that we wanted like (wage, lenght of contract, score) and the best one stood out quickly.

They had inclined planes (ramps :roll:), wooden cranes and trusses and everything.

The real estate industry has stood the test of time and cultural changes.

While the board strongly stood by him for most of his tenure, questions about his leadership mounted in 2006, and in an ominous portent of the near future, he was the only director present at the annual meeting; he only allowed shareholders to speak for a minute each.[6] When the board reportedly ousted him in January 2007,[7] Nardelli's severance package was estimated at $210 million.

I'm only going to set roof trusses on my own projects from now on.

The $3k to patch and paint is the expense that stood out to me.  

@Ingrid J. thank you .. to answer your question about construction codes .. for the most part you dont have to know every code thats what you hire a contractor for .. construction codes are what the state or county ( that you are doing rehabs in ) deems the minimum requirements in the building or rehab .. ie .. in Florida when we redo a roof we are required to bring it up to and current standards ( code ) like hurricane straps on the trusses to the walls and straps from the walls to the foundation .. if i am rehabbing a house that was built before they required those hurricane straps then when i pull a permit to put a new roof on then the enforcment officer is going to check to make sure i installed them before signing off on my completed permits .. 

Basically, I stood my ground and reply back to the tenants that it is what is it and that they are only going to get the security deposit I set.They never reply back to me and never checked the cash.

There were a few that were in nice neighborhoods but were VERY ugly, boards in the windows and definitely stood out.
