The upper end would be a cement slab and newer infrastructure and paved roads.

If the cement crack goes completely across the floor, the property may be pulling in half, very serious! 

The previous owners installed cement board siding and all new vinyl windows, so a couple of framing thing and boom duplex.

For example,if they put cement down the sewer they could claim the sewer always had problems but because they were paying such low rent that they lived with having to constantly plunger. 

She apparently had an issue before I purchased the house and sealed (cemented) her basement walls in response.

Double or triple your budget unfortunately and that is because based on my experience some of the materials are substandard that the project manager would have to upgrade them for safety reasons (like rebar and cement quality).

The property is an old farmhouse the seller has completely rehabbed it himself (gutted & added new spray insulation, new electric, all new plumbing, fresh sheet rock & paint, all new windows (cheaper Andersons double pane), brand new fiber-cement siding, 13 yr old shingles, appliances approx 5 yrs old (beautiful stainless in lower unit).

If I were to advertise my vacant land, I would do that ground work for them (but its time consuming) Call the utilities and ask how much each one costs to connect, then get estimates to put a gravel road/ asphalt road/ cement road.  

Well, I feel pretty good about rebuffing those attempts and this has further cemented why we'll be sticking with a strict policy going forward.I reached out to them via their support chat on Monday of this week to ask where my March cancellations payment was because they said they would send them monthly and today is already the end of April.

Hello I am sure this has been asked and answered but each new year brings new products and therefore different considerations on an old question.I am renovating the lower level of my house to feature an in-law suiteit is a ground floor apartment with adequate runoff so flooding is not a big concernThe problem i am having is coming up with the best flooring choice which will give me all my wants.ultimately the place is a one bedroom apt where the living room and kitchen will share the same 14.5x14.5 spacesmall yes but the bedroom is 9.5x21 so it makes up for the crampiness of the living roomkitchenI would like the whole place to feature the same flooring which is why I am leaning to vinyl plank but the good stuff which is pretty pricey. but it will allow me to cover the kitchen and bath area along with all the other spaces foyer, bedroom. laundry and living room. laminate will allow me to do the place much cheaper as I can find phenomenal deals on laminate, but I would need to go with tile in the bathroom at least which is not a deal breaker it just makes the place lose that cohesive look.porcelain tile is about the same cost and more labor intensive but I only have about 600 sqft to coverThe sub floor is cement. so i will have to factor in underlayment for my laminate.just wondering what some of you would do if you were in this same scenario and whyI know only I can ultimately make the best decision for me but it would be helpful to hear others thoughts and experiences.
