Bottom line, you've got a good deal (on the surface), but need money to execute.

Unless you're going to go with a hard surface of some kind, any carpet will show wear and tear unless you are ready to either spend some $$ on a great, quality carpet (a Triexta fiber carpet for instance) that has superior stain resistance qualities (not stain proof), or go with the nasty, cheap sculpted carpet that you see in low end rentals all day long.

On the surface it looks like an OK deal.

You may also only kill the visible mold on the surface.

On the high end homes, smooth stucco surfaces are all the rage but also more expensive as they are more difficult and time consuming, but often necessary.

I would guess that would be roughly $10,000 for gravel surfaced.20 electric meters I'm guessing 300 a piece for $6000.Now, I understand Greg B. said you can probably only install one septic per acre.

There's always things under the surface that we don't know about until we do our due dilligence and research and gather more information.

I choose to listen to the more optimistic books, however it is clear that there is so much to learn here and I am just scratching the surface.

Will the new surfaces be ruined or stand strong?
