You may need to extend the walls (or at least the chicken wire) up into the space between the joists.If the pipes aren't super rusty and crusty, and don't get real hot, you can either paint them white to dress them up, or go nuts and show them off.. paint the water supply lines blue and red, the sewer lines green, etc

I used to look at fancy houses on the hill or on the water and want one also.  

They said they will give me some fancy corporate kits with seals and form etc.

Ok, I haven't posted a new forum topic in a while...I brought my team out today to do driving for dollars and on our last street we are turning around in what I believe is a church.I see a woman dressed nicely (there are flurries outside) in the parking lot of this private property lot we are turning around in...So I give her a wave of acknowledgment and a smile.As we are turning around (Me, a woman team member sitting shotgun, and my two other male team members in the back seat) and my navigator says, "I think she is trying to tell you something."

I certainly give him credit where it's due, he is successful, he doesn't pretend with playing like he's an engineer or wizard that adds value.If you own a restaurant you hire a cook, if it's a fancy joint you hire a chief, if you're in RE you hire a GC, they don't run your business nor are they entitled to a slice of it, they are hired help.

Dress it us for presentation on the internet with great pictures, maps and a class-A written description.  

When you realize that these agents are applying for a job, you will intentionally notice things about them that you wouldn't be thinking about otherwise; their appearance (are they groomed and well dressed or are there pizza stains on their t-shirt and shorts), are they knowledgeable in the field of real estate (if your agent cannot explain how the whole process works in their listing appointment, move on), how responsive are they (if it consistently takes 3+ phone calls to get ahold of them during normal business hours, do you expect them to answer the phone when the perfect buyer wants a showing during weird hours- probably not and you are going to miss out on a sale). 

Plus it will miter bigger crown without fancy calculations to do it with both bevels.
