It's been about five years and I've never had to replace or fix one, though.For small bathroom windows or kitchen windows I put a cheap tension rod up with some curtains that match the room.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out as the trade wars heat up, snippet of the article below:Chinese investors have become net sellers of U.S. commercial property for the first time in a decade, reflecting China’s crackdown on foreign investment and growing tensions between the U.S. and Chinese governments.After years of binge-buying trophy real estate, Chinese investors sold $1.29 billion worth of property in the second quarter of 2018, according to data firm Real Capital Analytics.

I’ve talked to an agent and he literally kept trying to stear me into the direction of getting a condo or a townhouse and I’m not 100% sold on going that route being that there is more risk with roommate tension and higher vacancy issues.Thanks

Beam, Post tension, driving piling, bell bottom, floating, pier and beam...Make sure you have a foundation company that is proficient at the type of project you have.I am no rookie, and I have had major issues with 3 (BBB accredited) business's this year who claimed to be experts in foundation work. 

(I tried to easy the tension of what could have been a rough situation).

I've been living in my home for 7+ years and I've seen the neighborhood change with some property owners renting out their homes instead of selling them.In that span of time, I have dealt with and encountered a slew of issues from many of the renters - the noise ordinance issue being the biggest complaint, based on many of the culprits blasting loud music from their cars at all hours of the day and night, with no regard for the time of day and who they were disturbing.Yes, I have called, the police - along with other neighbors, but being that I have lived the closest - with the culprits either living beside me, across from me and now adjacent to my bedroom windows as the others have either moved or stopped.The other issues have been lessened, like the previous renters shooting as they have moved, but all of this tension has been building.
