I use a 12 inch ruler in the photos next to damages such as carpet stains, repaired holes in doors if they are still visible, bent window blinds, discolored fireplace brick, etc. 

If they truly are working and not spending their money on 60 inch TVs I sometimes give them slack.

Night security, some armed retired cop should do it.Cameras covering ever inch of the exterior would help, with notices posted.Good door locks.

It is an odd size - 30" range leaves 22 inches left over.

I don't like having these men in and our of our house every week just to repair stuff that's going to be broken again later on because they don't know what they're doing.Examples of things that need to be fixed: Front door is falling off the hinges (it's already been fixed once after over a month of us asking for it to be fixed), the swamp cooler smells like mold and we requested the filter be changed, refrigerator door has about a quarter inch gap in the door and is leaking cold air, we can't use the fan in the enclosed porch because it's off balance and we've already had the glass light cover fall off and shatter on the floor right in front of me, and kitchen sink disposal rattles the entire counter when it's turned on.

One side is down 3 inches.

I apply it with a 4 inch white bristle brush and do thin coats.

If you give someone an inch, they take a mile.  

Just put a few inches and level it off with the ceiling joists.The first time I did it, the comfort level and the heating costs were significantly improved. 

R-value of around 3 per inch.
