I felt like I was frozen in time watching the figure of the man slip away into the hallway as if I hadn't seen him. 

I finally got a professional in to finish the work, but based on schedule slip on my end and the cost of the handiman I ate into the margin I got on the purchase. 

It is about 6 inches wide so put two screws at the end that does not allow for the plank to slip to the wall. 

Fact is, US is slipping big time.

In addition to appraisal/financing, I would also wonder if it's possible to get it insured (like, liability insurance for guest slips and falls).But instead of thinking about why it wouldn't work, think about how it could. 

I can't believe taxes slipped my mind this time of year!

If you're going the umbrella insurance route, perhaps see if it will cover you for several things including just the routine slip and fall (like mold or earthquake).

@Don Konipol @Chris Seveney Appreciate the feedback and I wasn't trying to slip this by.

But if that doesn't help, considering a switch isn't out of line..especially if you feel opportunities are slipping through the cracks.You're not being needy at all.

They use deposit slips and drop the rent off at the bank.
