Consequently, the contractor should bring in dehumidification units designed to dry the air in the containment until the ALL CLEAR has been given.)How will we know it's been done correctly and it's ready to rebuild?

An acquaintance who purchased a 5-unit stone & brick building painted grey three years ago, had it bead blasted to remove the remnants of the flacking paint.Another hazard of painting brick is application of the wrong type of paint, or too much paint, can inhibit the brick's ability to dry resulting in spalling and accelerated disintegration of the brick.

Big government projects like airports can take years longer than anticipated.It is not uncommon to see investors who think they have gotten in early and picked up a huge deal run out of money as the development they were counting on near their property takes way longer to happen then they thought.The DRI process alone can take years and it only takes a small group of citizens or an environmental group to bog this down even longer.I'd pursue option contracts with clear language to extend the option for many years in situations like this.

Even just buying stock in  a REIT that is liquid while your away cash it in when you get feet dry and then you can check out markets yourself.. 

I can't track individual use but I hope to track general water use and try to determine drivers of higher use as places turn over.The other issue I have found is with High efficiency machines people don't know how to use them and they overstuff and the clothes in the middle stay dry.

They come in different styles and sizes , some you strike with a hammer , some you pull the trigger.
