We can address the soil erosion up top with plants, but the wall erosion, that I guess I'll need to have addressed.  

page=1@Marcia Maynard ,I was taking a look at the vinyl w/ woodprint for another unit that doesn't have the hardwood underneath the carpets, but not that familiar with it..

It was already fixed in the inside, and the problem was all the gutters flowed to a common point near the foundation and plainly visible if someone looked as the soil was washed away near the gutter drain.

Foundation issues are common in Dallas due to the clay soil so be sure to check for it and if foundation has been repaired try to get a transferrable lifetime warranty.

The other end of the cable is the only thing supporting the floor underneath my feet at that moment, because the previous owner liked the "open floorplan" look, and took out the load-bearing walls in the first floor. 

Both parties spoke different languages- the lender spoke ROI, ROE, WAC, discounted cash value, etc. while the project developer spoke excavation and grading costs, the price to import and compact soil, installation of curb and gutter, etc.

The home inspector noticed that bedding soil had been added to the point where it is actually covering up the weep screed and he saw signs of rust and deterioration to the weep screed caused as a result of this.Albeit the Declaration of Easement does explicitly allow each homeowner the right to inspect, repair and maintain both sides of their home the homeowner will not allow us access as is delineated by the DE to exercise this right.

Impressive the amount of funds raised off US soil where some marginal deals could actually be considered heavens for international private money - "wow, this is cheap".

You can put a "regular" bulb in it (like you would use in a table lamp), but then you get a very narrow beam of light directly underneath the can light, instead of a spread-out beam that you would get from a reflector bulb.

Carpet needs replacement, or ripped off for the hard woods underneath.
