The house was built in 1910, wood frame and I just re-checked the attic on our way through (we live out of state) yesterday - it has about 2-3 inches of old blown insulation.We of course didn't buy this as an investment property, so we are only $150 over the mortgage, insurance and taxes on a monthly basis.

Let me know, I have a tall list of lenders. 

I will have a 6ft rock perimeter around it.  3ft tall and a 3ft opening. 

The wind tore down her pool cage and the storm water flooded her older home (and car) several inches. 

im thinking for a one square inch of a postcard or letter why not.

I'm a welder by trade so I built a 4 inch deposit  pole it's buried about 3 feet in the ground so they can't steal it they insert the money thru a hole in pipe and above ground level I made a section of pipe that comes out with a stain less steel  security  lock on back side  pretty much any box with lock would work  attached  to property just make  sure they don't put cash  or it might just disapear

There might be a best way for you but figuring this out when you're just getting started is a tall order.

Adding 9 additional inches of insulation to the already insulated attic. 4.
