I wasn't too upset about the sidewalks, however they made me cut the huge tree down that was lifting up the sidewalks too, and that cost about $1100.  

I have only experience in one-off requests like an electrical permit, residential general repair permit, etc (and those were bad enough) but have heard it can be a nightmare with a total construction permit, especially if large-scale clearing of trees (arborists permit) is required.

In particular I'm looking at Manchester and more specifically, downtown (the tree streets to be even more specific).  

These over levered portfolios fell like trees during logging season.

He changed out the sprinkler timer, trimmed the large tree, installed crown molding.  

Has anyone ever rehabbed or marketed their properties with low Voc paints, sustainably harvested wood or bamboo, cork or refurbished wood. energy saving appliances, air filters, fruit trees, water gardens, passive house.I'm thinking this is something I would like to do but of course it's all about economics and these green things usually cost more.

Finally, because corn is food, and is an input in the production of many other types of food, ethanol production is driving up food prices all over the US and the world.Cellulosic ethanol, produced from trees or switchgrass, is a lesser evil.

I've tried targeting the real estate market, and stopped barkin' up that tree.

(I'll do my intro later...)I am going to look today at a 2.8 ac tract w/creek and a few trees (nearly UNfindable in these parts) with two mobiles.
