I need to develop thick stomach lining.

We've been using Lowes Style Selections Natural Oak 7mm Thick Wood Plank 8"x48" Laminate Flooring in 100 rentals for years.

A few of my wife's pictures taken on 9/5 showed cracks on the cement floors (obvious that I know I didn't notice them when we first saw the house on 8/15), a ~8" chunk of cement missing from the 6" thick foundation pads on which the oil burning furnace sits, with the HVAC 8" inlet metal collar on it rusting already. 

He talked non stop in a thick accent and had NO listening skills.

I have an open staircase with mono-stringer and thick wood treads going in my new build.

Hi Adrienne,You cold pull up the carpet and have a look at the subfloor--maybe it's OSB from some old packing crate in that spot.If the joists feel solid underfoot and the area to each side feels bouncy, the floor wood may have failed.If that is the case a contractor may be able to cut 1/2 way along the joists on each side and insert new "Flooring grade PLYWOOD" of the same thickness as the rest of the floor.The carpet will probably need to be "Knee-ed" back into place by a carpet installer to prevent wrinkles.Be ready for anything when you open it up (meaning idiotic workmanship such as joists with way over-large notching for plumbing, etc...)This may also be a harbinger of things to come (or it may just be an isolated indecent.)Good Luck!

They are just fiberglass maybe 1/4 thick,  3 feet high with a reflector on the end and you push them in the ground to mark the boundary. 

In hot Arizona the key to keep cool is thick walls and no leakage of inside temp.

We have plaster with stone so we have just lived with the lack of wall insulation unless we take a wall down for other reasons. walls are so thick anyway. 

I would vent the attic (which should have been done already), scrape and peel all paint off, patch the issues and use a thick peeling paint primer like Zinsser.
