There are a few people from the SRQ area that frequent this site.  

I'm looking for one for my upcoming fix and flip projects and will be frequenting the local Home Depot there soon to inquire for business cards and do my own screening, but wanted to check in with the community first.

I now own a multi-family property as of Friday September 26, 2014.I will now be frequenting the landlord section much more often.

However, the downstairs unit where the water is used more frequently, and is still under construction, there is no noticeable odor.

@Jason MunckWhen I receive a colleague request w/o a letter of introduction (PM of introduction) or it I receive one out of the blue from someone with whom I've had no interaction, I will typically "let it hang" until I learn more about the individual and why they were reaching out.Surprisingly I receive colleague requests from folks who have never participated on the site (0 posts to the forums or blogs), which frequently arrive with no introduction or explanation of the reason for reaching out.

Remember, in these old houses, lumber was milled locally, in many cases on-site, and frequently by hand, so why would you invest effort to mill a support pier that will be unseen in the basement when it makes no difference to its function.As Brian indicated, houses were built experientially back in {pre}Victorian era and lumber was not graded as it is today - mind you, much of the lumber was of a far higher quality than what we harvest these days.The key thing to look at is whether these unmilled piers are set directly in the soil or if a footing (likely stone, but possibly concrete) was put underneath it.
