Hi Alex, good idea.Lot Size---1Acre3 BR 2 BA1400 sq ftScope of the workReplace Windows---$1800Re-finish HW floors---$2500Roof replacement--$4500Paint inside, granite in kitchen, painting kitchen cabinets and doors, tile one bathroom, replacing one tub and both toilets, and 2 sinks, stain a deck, minor landscaping, and clean up.Hiring out the hardwood refinish and the roof...Shooting for 5-6 week re-hab.

I had to explain that the roof was built as a roof and not to support decking and potted plants.

If that's true, then I wouldn't want to leave anything to chance; I'd want to go the more "accurate" route they suggested & get soil from directly underneath the tank (they'd have to pull it up in this case--along w/ the deck that's positioned over it.) 

Huge deck.

Stack the deck in your favor by aligning yourself with a good investment sponsor for your passive investments.

Long enough to rot the floors down to the decking.

Then when I scrape (16" blade") I hold a "tray" ) a cut off cardboard box works fine for this, up close to the ceiling so the popcorn doesn't have far to fall.

One is on my back deck (that I affectionately refer to as my "bock" deck), one is on my front porch, one is on my couch, one is at the brokerage firm where I hang my affiliate broker's license (nice perk of being a Realtor), one is at the engineering firm and machine shop where I have a part-time job, and finally I often work out of my car or from the hood or trunk of the car.
