A quote that I heard from a motivational speech a long time ago that still resignates with me today. 

I particular I have (based upon the advice and input of others) created a Screening Criteria with scoring to help applicants know how I select the most appropriate renter as follows (please advise if you think I should make changes):Rental Application Screening ReportInterview: House showing: Walk-through of property: In person 5 pointsUsing licensed realtor representative with FaceTime or equivalent 5 points Using licensed realtor representative without FaceTime or equivalent 3 points Other: 0 points On time for appointment: 5 points Running late, called to inform: 3 points Late: 0-10 minutes 2 points 11-20 minutes 0 points 20+ minutes- landlord leaves, applicant rejected Respectful and courteous: (subjective, score -5 to 5) To landlord: To each other: *Cursing, swearing, pushing, shoving, and violent behavior, demeaning speech or treatment of landlord or landlord’s agent or to one another: Applicant rejected Neat/Clean appearance of all parties: 5 pointsApplication: Filled out application entirely leaving no blanks: Yes: 5 points No: -5 points, grounds for rejectionPaid for application fee?

This is one of my favorite speeches and helped me get started."

I cant afford that unfortunately.If I build a truss system, what is the harm in having the load of the weight on either side of the block foundation?

You do not need to memorize the full speech, but you will be more successful if you spend time planning out your key points.

@Dominic CordaroMost communications are done through writing these days, whether it be text, email social media or direct mail.Which is probably how you're going to initiate conversations with people anyway.I wouldn't worry about a speech pediment.  

The rest of us that can, though, need to speak up for what's right when we're needed.Without pushback, the enemies of true free speech only get bolder and bolder. 

Is the roof truss framed or stick built?

I planned on putting truss and shingle on in the future however did not expect this so soon.

The forums are relatively open, but that doesn't mean you have the rights of free speech like you do in the US Constitution.
