Stephanie, I do try to always put my wife first, a few months ago I had a surgery and when I was in the recovery room, Jess and C4 (my son) came in to see me and it was the first time that I ever gave him a kiss before her. 

I'm currently an orthopedic surgery resident (year 3 of 5) and have had an interest in the small business world and real estate as long as I can remember.

As far as just sealing it up where rodents won’t get through you could even use the side of an old plastic tote cut to fit with a little silicon around the edges to close it off.

hey just some advice from a plumber ive been doing plumbing for 5 years nowyou said you had a iron sump pit, likely the pit is beginning to corrode and thats the cause of the iron deposits, now a days most pits are made from composit plastics ,another possibility is the piping could be the cause if its a metal pipe [iron or galvinized steel ] it could be contaminating the water being pumped out, again most pipes now a days are PVC either sch 40 ,80 or ABS to prevent this issue, it could be the pump is corroded and failing but if its working i doubt that its that ad if the pump was that bad it likely would have failedother than those the only other thing that comes to mind is that it could be something in the basement that is made of iron or steel that is in the pathway to thw water on its journey to the pit.hope this helps

Yes, you can charge them, and you can sue them, but you can't recover 100-year old woodwork original to the home if someone decides to tear it down and replace it with new plastic foam board molding.

Said his brother is having surgery today and he's taking a bus to see him. 

Mine did too at first, but reality set in after a few months of washing dishes in the laundry sink, and having plastic hanging in the shower, her enthusiasm waned.I'm not suggesting you don't do it, just pointing out that the idea of it and the reality of it are not necessarily the same. 

As soon as we found out instead of feeling sorry for ourselves we immediately started problem solving and figuring out how we were going to beat this thing and how we were going to maintain financially since my doctors were telling me I wasn't going to be capable of work.From February 2015 to December 2015 I was put through the ringer with chemo, stereotactic radiation, surgery, and some more chemo.

That is like taking your pet hamster to the veterinarian to get surgery .
