It's a bear to clean the exterior of single hung windows, and I wouldn't want tenants on a tall ladder.

It certainly wasn't there a year ago, but the tenant cannot remember when they saw it first time.It has yellow borders, about 12 inches in diameter and is not soft or damp or moist (it was raining hard a few days ago).

I told the waiter and he brought a plate with one piece of onion one string of a slice, a tomato missing the center, half a pickle and two inches of a lettuce stem.

There was another case where someone bought a tiny lot, with a 100 foot tall brick chimney on it that the city wanted torn down.

That home was in much better condition, but had much less land.The land this time is in 'shale country' and they did get an offer for a drilling lease which they turned down - so that may add some value, but not much, gas prices have plummeted since and I think the gas companies are not running around leasing every inch of land anymore.They plan to upgrade the homeowners to 'vacant homeowners' in case the pipes and wiring are stolen - but it would still be a huge hassle.I know for sure they have no problem that a purchaser might be getting 'a deal'.

2 rooms of carpet were totally ruined and had to be replaced, there was dirt and cobwebs in all of the bedrooms, windows had been left open and rainwater allowed to come in and stain the walls, hundreds of gouges and anchors left in the walls, oven dirty, floor and wall behind stove and refrigerator had a half inch of dust, dirt and food, etc, etc, etc.So, needless to say, I've had to spend a considerable amount of time and money getting the place back into rentable condition.

The out of town company did a very good job of putting down a 2 inch overlay, hauled away all of the broken, junky-looking, cement parking blocks and put in all new parking blocks.

Filling up the wall in the kitchen then after a hole was punched through filling the bottom floor 6-10 inches (water stains on the wall and visible mold on the baseboards, cabnits) The carpet is now dry so I have no idea how long the water was sitting.

@Emilio Hey Emilio, the walls are 10" inches thick because the basement height is 9'.I used Asak on the exterior way porch/posts/trim, its easier to work with, will not rot, and lasts forever.

Tall ceilings.
