Pre-BUILDING STEPS- permission from the planning and zoning desk- topographic map from a civil engineer- Building plans and elevations from an architect - Site plans from Civil Engineer.

It could also be a pressure problem due to higher elevation from the source. 

build it the same on the upward slope as you do the downward. as a matter of fact, that would make an easy garage under it, just maybe an added cost of putting an elevator in for convenience. this way the house is also overlooking the one below.

Well, November is still not paid and I talked with them and they keep giving me the "we'll have it next week speech."

Yeah, I seem to be having more luck in another market rather than FL since it's very elevated right now.

Standard seller paid commission when you bring me the deal (maybe I can offer an extra %), and standard or elevated commission when you sell the property.

Craft an elevator pitch and do not be afraid to say it. 3) Remain positive and calm.

Did your contractor have to elevate that side of the house for the repair? 

There is still no issue with any of the lead rules as long as you maintain the property and prevent the things that can cause lead poisoning (chipping paint, etc).With that said, if a child has elevated lead levels, they are going to be working to figure out where it came from. 

Now my mountain cabin that is at 2000 ft elevation I have more risk there, but we tell people if a storm is coming pack food, water etc.. and if its gonna be  bad storm, we give them the option to cancel with a full refund.
