Hi Johann,I doubt you can (for lack of a better term) "Fight City Hall" on this one.If they cancel you, and you have a mortgage, they will Notice the lender you are no longer covered, which will probably trigger some "unpleasantness" for you.And seriously, have you not walked your own property and noticed the cement sidewalk heaving up (if that is what the 1" lip is) (???)

Most of the flooring I lay either replaces damaged oak strip in patches or in whole, or, generally in the case of kitchens, I rip up the flooring, put in 5/8 in exterior plywood sheathing, and lay tile over 1/4 in. cement board.Let's talk about the tile: the reason I would not recommend this strategy to everyone is that it is labor intensive and takes time, and it's usually practically impossible to tell the difference from a tile floor installed over cement board that will last five years and one that will last fifty.

Most concrete companies make them daily with left over cement/concrete from loads coming back.

I am torn between pointing the rocks with hydraulic cement and dry locking versus having an interior waterproofing system installed.

The line at this time is all copper and about 6'10" below a cement parking spot behind the house.

The bottom circle is the new pvc sewer line in good shape all the way through.So I plugged it up with a bucket of hydraulic cement... and presto!

What kind of construction (metal kit, pole barn, cement block, other).

What I did:Painted walls and ceilings with sherwin williams superpaint dover white.Trim and kitchen wainscoting was painted with super paint semi gloss white.Ripped out plaster tub surround and replaced with cement board that was waterproofed and tiled.Replaced some missing shingles on garage roof.Replaced old shower valve with single handle valve.Replaced garbage disposal.Replaced old outlets/switches with new white outlets/switches/plate covers.Jacked up sagging portion of house and sistered three of the joists and replaced the rotted sill plate.Removed vinyl tile from laundry floor and painted the concrete with grey floor paint.Before photos:  Apologies if they are sideways or upside down...The after photos can be seen on my zillow ad, https://www.zillow.com/homes/17439-cicotte_rb/88664724_zpid/?

We've lined up a majority of work in our scope and scheduled out most of it: Plumbing for a bathroom and kitchen - $3,800Crawlspace repairs to fix some prior shady work & even out some unlevel areas - $3,650Tile 2 kitchens & 2 bathrooms - $1,800Drywall repairs - $400Add railings and supports to half-finished back deck - $2,800Install 2 interior doors - $300Fix a rotted Yankee gutter and repair some cracked fiberglass cement siding - $1,8002 full appliance suites (Kitchen/Laundry) - $6,000Fix one broken window - $250Relocate three HVAC vents - $900Still, a bit to be quoted/scheduled, but so far we are below our projected rehab budget of $41,250.

Thanks,Lee.Of the two I looked at,one looked like basic cement and the other was cinder blocks.
