The use of fibers or mesh will minimize the severity and frequency of the cracks.

I am sure that I will not be going in there for routine repairs at the frequency I am now for the long-term, however, I would like to avoid spending my time as a handyman altogether to allow for more of my time to be spent finding more deals and funding.
