I am aware of the laws, but did not anticipate that there would be such a reaction to this post.

That's probably the last thing you expected, but I am interested to hear your thoughts and others' reactions.

I know the knee jerk reaction is to immediately tell them to take it down but weigh the options and liability first before making a judgment .

We had mature English ivy on the side and husband got severe reaction from poison ivy while working.

@Mariah Porter I've lived through some pretty serious basement flooding issues on one of my own rentals, so I definitely feel your pain--it's not a fun situation.My natural reaction was also to wonder about the seller's disclosures, and whether I could bring a lawsuit against the sellers, but I pretty quickly realized this wasn't feasible or advisable (in my situation, it would have been almost impossible to prove the sellers were negligent or withholding a disclosure, and the legal fees would have been steep). ...but, I'm not a lawyer, so it may be worth asking a lawyer anyway...I think your first priority here is to figure out what's causing the flooding, and fix that issue as soon as possible.Most houses have a drain at the lowest part of the slab that's intended to collect water in event of a flood (for instance, if a broken pipe caused a flood)--I assume that that's what this pipe is? 

Alas, after the Fed’s recent confirmation/announcement regarding raising interest rates, we believe that crypto assets will be affected significantly as the asset class as a whole will face a completely different macro environment for the first time.Since the financial crisis in 2009, the Fed has never really been in a “let's raise interest rate” mode with the exception of a few occasions that would eventually get reverted due to the market’s reactions.

@John McKeeany thoughts or reactions?

My first reaction to your post was- Did you say plaster????   

The term "triggered" refers to the experience of having an emotional reaction to a topic......Sounds about you.

Some additional web searching nudges me toward the idea that filing a small claims suit would probably result in a favorable judgement, so long that I can provide evidence the claim is legitimate.My gut reaction right now is get everything in order to file a suit, so when the denial comes through I can get the wheels moving as quickly as possible.
