Definitely get a lot of quotes.Hi Gi'angelo,According to my contractor, the quote includes materials that are not visible (such as lumber and cement), labor costs, and HVAC.

You're cementing your loses if you stay. 

Apparently they should be brick pointing with lime mortar, but instead, they said the city will just plaster over the historical materials (original brick and lime mortar) with Portland cement because it's cheaper, faster and easier than working with more delicate, temperature sensitive lime mortar. 

Thus, the next challenge and frontier for many DSCR lenders seeking to serve the growing number of real estate investors pursuing this strategy is to cement a qualification and underwriting methodology to properly qualify MTRs and accurately project their revenues.

They could put cement in the toilet, rocks down it, they could refuse to leave and leave you tied up for six months trying to get them out or more.

Cement down the drains, yup.

It's a bit like a safe harbor statement - just because it hasn't happened, doesn't mean it won't in the future.Also, the 4x4 supports don't appear to be on cement footings (down to frost depth).

Instead of ceramic tile on the shower walls, I had left over cement board siding from a previous job..
