Your issue could be a minor fix, then again. you could have major problems with footings over a soft base.

Steve Babiak For what it's worth: I think the soft, rubber style flappers seal best.

We may be headed for another bubble but Joseph M brings up an excellent point in that most people still think the housing market is soft with lots of REO's around.

And that "soft" criteria, such as the borrower's ability to repay, were not used at all back when the term originated.

They winterize the property and we soft sell it the whole winter, but gear towards the spring rental seasonUsually they will reduce the rent by 50 or 75 and still make money on the property and we'll get a quality tenant.

I have a soft spot for house with charm and character and this is one, but I digress.Going back to my question on these houses with detached quarters, do they really work as rentals?

Completely drywalled including ceilings not soft or hard panel.It was 3 bed 2 bath that I turned into 2 bed 2 bath to make an oversized master bathroom and living room.The master bathroom features a walkin jacuzzi tub and his /her sinks.The kitchen is granite with built in wine cooler, side by side fridge, etc that is included in the sale.I built a outdoor Florida sunroom that is ceramic floors and features a tiki bar.Master bedroom has patio door that I built which leads to cozy balcony in backyard that leads to hut tub with all plumbing and electric underground.Storage / work shed / laundry room has all new plumbing for washer and dryer.PART 2 OF POST WILL FOLLOW

I like the soft satin sheen rather than gloss because it doesn't show every imperfection like gloss does.

There's a little store in Springfield, Missouri called Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World that sells them.

Think "soft landing" instead of "Lehman style collapse".
