Probably a fall opening, but we're excited to get it up and going.Did you find good contractors in the area?  

The deck floorboards aren't in the best shape, so I should probably do that first, and the estimate I got last summer was $12000.

At the moment we are left exposed, so to say... but there is probably a commercial option for us - if we can afford it.  

I've been in every house that has sold in that neighborhood probably for 20 years. 

If you live where there is curb side trash pickup this cost is probably included with your taxes or fees from the city.

It is realistic...probably not...but even if it's probably not realistic it doesn't mean that it's not COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE. 

There is probably much to gain from that. 

I’m probably just coming at it from a bad angle as I’m not a big cost seg fan on SFR.

Probably would matter.
