These baits were simply a chemical dot that I couldn't see placed underneath the edges of the counters.

They also do not often do any soil sampling or other testing when providing an initial bid.

Have you or a civil engineer looked at the depths of the sewer to know that a gravity sewer will work even with boring underneath a creek? 

These are major things like (all estimated include labor + materials):1. roof with heavy granular loss and near end of live (needs replacement) - estimated $9K2. foundation grading needs - estimated $1k3. new HVAC needed - estimated $12k4. wood rot on housing in numerous places + wood trim repair/replacement - estimated $2k5. new water heater needed on 1 side - estimated $3k6. rotted facia and soffet - estimated $3k7. soil grading - estimated $1k8. bad electrical wiring that must be rectified by electrical - estimated $1k9. exterior vent repair - $50010. broken window repairs - $50011. exterior paint - $3kone entire side is not renovated (which is fine - but still alone needs it's only 10-20K worth of work to make marketable like the other side - flooring, paint, appliances, and cabinets)estimated total without renovated duplex side: $36-40Kestimated total WITH renovated duplex side: $56-80Kwhat's making me think twice:lender and agent are close (not unusual)things that the appraiser DID NOT find compared to the home inspector made it a perfect pass for FHA loan.

Anyone else isn't going to want to deal with that AND perhaps the biggest thing is helicals are only estimated on a soil condition.

Some people glue 2 pieces off stone together and that way it hold your sink. what i like the best is ..scrue pieces off wood underneath , that way will hold better and you know it wont go anywhere.6) edges . square edge, 1/4 around edge, are standard .

You just have to open up the ceiling underneath and look at it.

While typically notrequired, you may have additional costs come up if you require additionalstructural engineering, civil engineering, or soils engineering.

The gravel ideally should go all the way to the top-soil, but if necessary for aesthetics you can put a few inches of top-soil.The drain needs to either empty downhill (Obviously) or drain into some kind of underground detention system... or a correctly-installed dry-well system (Most dry-wells are not correctly installed).

The moisture underneath caused it to rot and be invested with carpenter ants.
