Hi all,Looking into putting a pre fabricated ADU in the backyard to rent. 

Sounds like this is not up your alley at all, so you need a local business attorney to guide the two of you, make sure the attorney is representing you.I got into a steel fabrication business by providing the seed money and it was very profitable, but I ran the business side and oversight.Your collateral is everything you can put your hands on, his personal assets and business assets.

Depending on the dryer design, something like an errant dryer sheet or sock or scrap of fabric may have escaped the drum and fallen into the air piping in the dryer. 

What I find fascinating with most blogs and posts on these forums is that almost all numbers being used in the poster's analysis are fabricated or hypothetical.

We have access to a lot of contractor surplus auctions so we do well.BUT I also have a 30x40 two story barn for storage.For granite counter tops I approach the fabricators for their remnants.For flooring we have a small local privately owned company that we developed a relationship with & he gives us great deals.In fact we sold one of our properties to a contractor he works with.I am with you on the plumbing supply stores.

Sofas and other fabric furniture may need to be thrown out.The tenants have to be very proactive and follow all necessary steps or they will just keep coming back

Since we had the trencher there, I had another trench dug between the house and the meter, then replaced that 1" line.Next I laid in some new sprinklers, laid down landscape fabrics between the pair of wood borders, and filled in the river rocks.

We fabricate them onsite and hang with hidden hanger screws.

I'd probably get a chimney company to come and fabricate a cap that covers the entire chimney top, not just the hole, if that makes sense.

A good fabricator can hide the seam well.
