Pulled out an old medicine cabinet that had a slot for used razor blades in the back wall and found something like five pounds of razor blades in the wall.

Today, I saw one of the dogs on the deck. (1) She wouldn't have been approved had we been included in the vetting process, but we don't want to evict her (unless she stops paying rent). (2) I do not like pit bulls and these dogs are pit bulls (not interested in discussing pit bulls or any dog breeds for that matter).What would YOU do in this situation?

Generally speaking if a buyer facing this scenario moves forward with the purchase, he/she would want to be sure that SOMEONE ELSE pays for the damages if forced to remove the house, deck or driveway.

That’s right, cutting the grass, gardening, relaxing on the deck, grilling out, etc.

I’ve seen brand new patios slope back towards the house, joist hangers attached with deck screws instead of nails, brand new roofs that leak, etc. there are a ton of hack builders out there creating problems for whoever buys the houses they build that’s why it’s recommended to hire an independent 3rd party home inspector even for new construction.

I need to build a deck in North Atlanta and am looking for some recommendations for framing crews that you have used. 

I'm approaching this whole project as a big learning opportunity, to develop a skill-set I can use for future projects.I have a lot of fun plans for the garage of this property, which is huge, insulated, and has a bonus room, as well as a good structure for a garage-top deck.
