I have spoken with him several times already but it's like talking to the wall.

Jay, I'm going to print out your quote and frame it on my wall. 

An off-the-wall suggestion would be local networking events attended by business owners.

I am a rookie investor working on building my portfolio and a structural engineer offering consulting on any structural concerns you have for houses you may buy, or if you want to know out a wall to open up some rooms in your next flip. 

Hi everyone,I’m dealing with an issue in my Florida property where mold has started forming on my shower walls due to a water leak.

-Sauna-Hot Tub-Patio/courtyard (large cement tiles on crushed bluestone with lighting, natural gas line to bbq)-Secondary patio off primary suite-Losing sq feet in the primary bedroom to enlarge the bathroom-High grade cabinets-Appliances with cabinet fronts-High end appliances (Viking/Miele instead of GE Cafe)-Outdoor shower (teak box walls with a dry well beneath the footprint)-Wiring for Cat6 to every room-Wiring for surround speakers (or including the speakers that are built into the walls)-Sonos whole-home audio system-Hardwired cameras (with on-site storage) to the exterior of the house-Smart features: thermostats are a given, but how about light fixtures, switches, aromatherapy, fans ... anything else?

I've seen these situations spiral out of control and lead to occupants neglecting/damaging the property, such as making holes in the wall to look for hidden cameras, nailing doors and windows shut, etc.

Caught in the crossfire between the YIMBYs and the NIMBYs is the contentious topic of ADU or Accessory Dwelling Units.

To be compliant you dont have to scrape walls or do extensive repairs in most cases.

Why build a wall when I could make my table longer for others?
