So, a pier is there going up into nothing with no beam above it at all right in the middle of the house, and the long central wall is basically holding the house up although the center is slowly sinking due to it's own weight.

Supporting beams were put in place and the home is really coming together now!

Jim Beam is shorter, take your pick, JD or JB.

Maybe two basketball courts, laser tag or obstacle course, perhaps a kiddie jungle gym for the young ones.

Laser or Inkjet?

That's 500 letters a month.If it were me, I'd start with a laser targeted list of about 300 and hit them twice a month for two months.

I am just over a month into this project and the first month was mostly design, architecture, hard bids, selection of subs, and selection of finish products (cabinetry, toilets, sinks, faucets, etc.).So you can get an idea of what this home looks like at purchase, here are a few before photos:And here are some photos during the demo stage:This last photo is the great room where we are framing in the open beam ceiling to allow for new can lights and new drywall.

Not expensive touches but unique, such as an embossed crest in a fireplace mantel or in trim moldings, a brass mail drop in the front door, brick or stone mail boxes, embossed concrete as stone work, house number counter sunk in an exterior beam, these can identify your work and with a good reputation will add value as a more sought after home than the run of the mill comps.

Expensive yes, but the foundation companies say a big culprit is the lack of steel in the foundation (older homes), often followed by beam size and other environmental factors.

The second I decided to pursue RE again, I've had a laser guided focus.
