I actually spoke to the people for patch of land and they were great with listing there requirements. 

I'm hopeful that the repointing would only need to happen under a couple of windows that look like they had some shoddy patch job. 

If you find somebody with a big patch of this, they'll often let you dig some up and take it for free.

That gives you good new surfaces and might cost less than the strip and patch approach. 

I heard a leak and after some detective work and cutting open the back of my kitchen cabinet I finally have located a few pin holes at the bottom of a kitchen copper drain line.These pin holes unfortunately are impossible to patch in that the cause is corrosion and is almost always caused by tenants or previous owners sending hazardous chemicals like Draino down the line and those chemical sat at the bottom and ate at the line and eventually you get holes.

After hearing stories about what houses were gang house, what houses were patched up from the bullet holes from a drive by, and other shootings in the area I decided it may not be quite what I was looking for.Going southeast down del paso towards downtown Sacramento (hwy 160 I believe?)

The house also needs minor sheet rock patch work, carpet replacement, bathrooms updating and paint everywhere.

Problem is I now need to patch and paint

The majority of my neighbors now have a patch in the street in front of their house.

Develop a route for all the brokerage firms in your patch and stop by to introduce yourself, drop off a card or flyer, or bring doughnuts.4.)
