Leveled with metal shims.

First I was going to replace the posts with 6x6 treated wood or metal posts and take them all the way to the ground instead of 45'ing them into the house.

Metal roof vs shingle vs asphalt.

We even got a little run-around at the local lumber yard during our remodel as she never paid them for the metal siding on our garage.

Currently I'm completely outta real estate except for my primary residence, and have all my investments in precious metals and related assets.

Copper wire conductors in NM sheathed cable or in rigid metal or PVC plastic conduit has been the norm since the mid-1970s, and there are currently no new innovations in the wiring materials themselves.Most houses I have issues are from the 1950s old rag wire with no ground the cloth is brittle from heating of the current over the years.Lots of flippers will cobble together a house, install new wire where they are forced too leave old rag wire to rot away.

What you did works, but you are wearing down the metal, so it could increase resistance or loosen the connection. 

(Ok, perhaps that's a little too pessimistic).It's just when I look at my portfolio I think "man, I should sell that (real estate, stocks, forex, metals) before it drops like a rock" and then do what with the money?

You don't want to waste too many blades cutting through the metal on a refrigerator, because a pack of blades is easily $10-15 bucks these days!

I have always been good with my hands wether it be cars, wood, metal, electrical, or plumbing I've had my paws in it.
