there are TONS of threads on the best way to soundproof on here and the Audio Video forums. the best stuff is Roxul from home depot.here's the short story..1. spray foam or roxul2. de-coupling channels on the studs, then attach soundproof drywall3. another layer of drywall installed with de-coupling adhesivethis is expensive and time consuming. but it works wonders.

For insulation, it was all spray in fiber downstairs, and all spray in foam upstairs.

I always dressed in clean clothes and shaved, but coming from the automotive industry I never understood the value of how you present yourself.

I recommend shaving off as much of the refrigerator as necessary to make it fit.

Most of the pipes are exposed and not at all insulated, while the ones remaining with insulation have very old, half falling off foam.

A lot of GC''s have time and money tied up in there business and would rather be hired for a job where they know they will profit rather than gamble on a property that could not only lose money, but also keep them and their employees away from other paying jobs.

Finally, on every economic upswing there is always going to a pack of real estate poseurs who ride into this town all big-shotting it up with their universally applicable get-rich-quick systems and leave in the very early hours grimly resolved never, ever to talk about that shaved orangutan they woke up next to.Pocket neighborhoods are everywhere in Allegheny County.

So does using rubber weather strip (much better than the foam type).

Doubtful you would save fees. 1031 companies to hold funds the good ones have adequate insurance policies and other safeguards which cost money to maintain.My criteria is more the experience of the 1031 company and how credible versus shaving 100 dollars off of a typical fee multi-thousand fee etc.

@Kevin Martin we have just decided to eliminate the door stoops and shave four inches off of the entire structure.
