@Tracy Graham  another option could be add a double sliding barn door/ french doors, or something to that affect.

I "attended" an online presentation targeted at French investors that promised 16% gross returns, and presented pictures of some properties plucked from Zillow.

Quote from @James French: Unless it's an A-class property, I would go with the surround.

The company is a French EV battery company called Forsee power.  

I have experienced people in Maastricht, but I recently fell in love with Liège, which gives me the added handicap of the French language (Dutch/Flemish is my mother tongue) and no 'power team' yet.

Thx guys..I forgot about appraisers for a minute.. maybe I will just put in French doors, leave as a 3 bedroom but stage as a dining room

Knowing your audience also plays a role ... many folks here speak/understand French to a degree, so the pronunciation and meaning are typically instantaneous.

To see if your block walls are full of water, you can drill a hole near the base into one of the "chambers" of the block (this is what the waterproofing companies will do to keep the water from filling the wall once they have installed the french drain system).

I have a maytag range because they're the only one that made a double oven range when I bought it and a kenmore fridge because they're the only one that made the french door fridges when I bought it.
