And the hotel in Beaverton next to my Dentist office has just been converted to homeless..

Also, I wanted to get a quote to lay a cement foundation for the shed. 

No question; fix the driveway.Use fiber reinforced concrete and it will last longer with 6" of concrete vs the 4" thickness, which is usual.Barry the resident from driving his vehicle on the new cement for 14 days.

Cemented into the ground while we can access the pond bottom. 

Question for new builders- if a lot is In a flood zone would it be required to have flood insurance if the foundation is built up, on cement blocks?

That seem obvious so I assume it is buried or encased in cement below too.

I thought maybe I could just put a drop in sink instead but that sucker is like cemented in.

Im going to be using job boxes cemented to the property and a shipping container as well as adding steel lock boxes to the bed of each truck.

The books provide a small bit of guidance and guardrails on how to do something, then I just do it and cement the learning into my brain.

For extra eye grabbing attention and a homey feel I might add a small cement bird bath outside one of the front windows behind the Japanese yew bush.
