If I had a place with existing tenants on month to month, and I believed they were several hundred dollars lower than fair market rate (not "dream rate"), I'd give them fair notice that rents were increasing by several hundred dollars so they had time to either move or come to terms that they've been getting a bargain for a long time and now they'll be paying the fair rates; I don't see the point of giving away that much money by inching it at $25 every 6 months.

The cracks vary and get larger as you go further back, the worst being about an inch.

I was grinding through a 4-inch cast-iron soilstack yesterday and got a metal shaving in my eye.

And we want to use every inch very efficiently.

Inch wide, mile deep.

Mold in the basement drywall and insulation requires a gut job or at least removing 24 inches from ther bottom,  maybe more. 

I remember my dad waking up at 2 am to go pick up the others to head up the mountain and yes there was a lot of skill dropping a 100 foot tree, on a steep slope, within inches of where he said it was going to go!

since i have one for about every scenario i have one i Lake Oswego right now.. were by the time they conditioned me.. they wanted 250 feet of new 8 inch ductile iron water pipe.. its a corner lot and they wanted commerical half street improvement.. so about 200k to split one lot.. so they are getting none of it.. just going to build a nice 999k spec on a double lot and call it a day.. but i wasted a year and 20k in engineering and city fee's to try to get the split. 

I would just cover ceiling in new 1/4 inch drywall.

I'm thinking 2024 will be the year but anything is possible as mortgage rates inch up to 7%+.
