Bounded on the west by ocean, south by Mexico, North by Pendleton, and East quickly gets harsh. 

Remedies include snaking, water blast, mechanically chewing up the clog, chemically dissolving the clog, replacing pipes that are too small to handle the volume of sewage, replacing pipes that have collapsed, or relining an intact sewer pipe that leaks.If your plumber didn't share with you more about what you are facing, enlist the services of someone who can diagnose the problem more accurately.

Chemicals can accelerate corrosion.

It sounds like you can pay to treat the outside of the property with some kind of chemical spray that keeps the bugs away, but I've heard that spray will quickly wash away and lose its effectiveness6) Crawl space - open the vents in the summer and close in the winter to promote air flow in warm weather and keep heat in during cold weather.

It would appear the harsh and long summers there have an adverse effect on the cooling units, which should seem obvious, but was something we didnt budget sufficiently for when we started out.

Yes, it's an extra expense, but if the well has failed, you can be in for a significant bill.If the property is on private septic, you should also check for proper separation from the leaching field (100 feet around here) as well as purity (chemicals, e.coli, etc).When I bought my home here in Plymouth, I tested the well water. 

The Northeastern Ohio (Cleveland & Lake Erie) winters can be somewhat harsh. 

That seems rather harsh to say that, you don’t know who I am or what I have done in life thus far, so what’s for saying “be serious about wealth accumulation and let’s have a discussion”?
