Yes, I get a higher response rate from Postcards, but if I send a letter that is in a small envelope or looks like an invite, I get a much higher response than the letters sent that look just like every other piece of mail.I even remember hearing and investor that put a rubberband in his envelopes it felt thicker like something was in it, so people woudl open it to see what was inside.

Or is it possible that it could be sprayed with something, and then coated with a sealing primer?

I have herd the rumors on how they tear your property up and just add more coat and i am really not the landlord type.

It didn't completely eliminate the issue, but a sanding, and staining, and several coats of polyurethane later and the smell was gone.

Now, most engineers are honest and wouldn't knowingly sugar coat a Due Diligence report, but they also tend to be problem solvers at heart who think highly of their skills and love a challenge.

Eh slap a coat of paint and no one will tell the difference :mrgreen:

"It's kind of compounding the problem, I think." . . .The government's TARP purchases of preferred shares gave some banks a thicker capital cushion -- if only fleetingly -- which regulators hoped they would use to make more loans.

I knew that since it is 104 years old with many coats of paint on it.

That was a good one, everyone could see them, parked in between them, but if I did not have a fresh coat of reflective line paint on before the reinspect, I would have to get permits from the city and have a contractor with a license and bond with the county apply them.

Ok, I did some quick research on this as I am now interested in trying this in one of my properties that we are going to have to tear up the floors in one of the bedrooms due to a rotted subfloor.According to askthebuilder.com you should definitely prime any bare wood but more importantly after the paint sets for a couple of days you should apply 3 coats of water-based urethane.
