Aloha,You should be able to run a 3/4" cable with a cutter blade by pulling a toilet closest to where the line heads to the street, or from a clean-out at a laundry standpipe (or other vertical main drain line), or if there is a floor drain on the lower level (often the floor drain will have a pipe plug under the grate, inside the rim), that is a clean out access too.

There are so many so be sure to filter by your location. 4) Review this comprehensive 64 page deck on the state of the 2023 housing market (in your resource page as a member of BiggerPockets!)

We collected the costs to restore the yard to previous condition and used the money to partially pay the costs to build a deck over much of the yard. 

I’ll fight them 100 percent, but the deck is way stacked against you.  

Her suggestions were to change out the chandelier to a bronze metal type fxiture and add a sofa sectional on the deck, off to one side, so it can be seen but doesn't block the view.

I.E.  10K for a new deck, new HVAC, HWH, windows...Cap Gains will likely be much less B/c 6% commission on the way out. 

Not even flips necessarily, just people want to put a deck in, do it themselves and just don't pull a permit.

Plaster dulls blades pretty quickly, so have several on hand.

I've seen them tunnel up the side of riser room in a commercial building to eat the wooden roof decking 20 ft above the ground.

About as far as I think might be even close to reasonable would be to ask that black rubber type soles not be worn inside that could streak the floor.That's what we require on the deck of the boat, no street shoes on deck.
