If you have brick, modernize the look of the front by using 1x8's, horizontally and spaced about 4" apart as the surround for the deck. 

Cast iron and copper are still mandatory for plumbing drain/waste/vent on buildings taller than 40'  Getting back to old galvie supply piping....the water pressure is usually rendered adequate when just the horizontal piping in the basement is replaced.

Would you rather use your capital to build out and maximize your investment, or continue purchasing other investments (go horizontal with more properties), and then in the future, enhance your portfolio by building new bedrooms in basements and attics?

Just a side note when doing signs make sure you use horizontal signs (the tubes run horizontal as oppose to vertical) to hang on the post as they are less likely to bend from the wind.You can drive for dollars, you can use flyers or door hangers and go door to door.

When you take pics, take horizontal and make sure EVERY single light is on.

The basement, like the one you saw, had several inches of water in it due to a large horizontal crack in the block foundation wall about 2 feet off the floor.

hi marc hope this answers your question roll roofing is always ok and its actually supposed to be used when there is a little pitch when there is no pitch roll roofing is also required but it has to be smooth no granulated torch or hot work must be a Peal in stick base and cap smooth then when you get to pitch roofs only up to a 3 12 pitch could you roll horizontally any thing great from 4 12 to 8 12 must be rolled vertically or as what some people call strapped any thing greater then 8 12 must either be 6 nailed shingle and felt strapped or standing seam metal

If the cracks are running the length of the boards it's probably the wood shrinking from drying out.If the cracks are running across multiple boards horizontally there may be some foundation issues that is actually slowly tearing the wood apart.Either way I would probably have a foundation expert to come analyze the situation.

They're stacked in a horizontal grid, no offset.

Take new ones with landscape (horizontal) mode.
