No bedrock, no cement, not even a stack of stones, nothing to keep those 4X4s from slipping in deeper and deeper, which is what they do with the weight of a kitchen and the help of a few million termites...and being the old deck/back patio...as in 1920 house. 

Another common material here in Georgia is Hardie plank (cement based siding).

Such as cement cast, plastic. 

I've heard of using foam and/or cement to fill in the old ducting and I'm curious what y'all have ended up using.Thanks!

Before photo: After photo: Rehab surprises: When I bought the property, it had a layer of cement that looked OK but over the winter this layer started to crack everywhere.

For example, if I need some framing, plumbing, cement work, and cabinets installed, I may get a $20k quote while if I hire these tradesmen directly and individually, it might cost me $12k total.What you get by hiring a general contractor is a manager that is supposed to keep the project going and deliver quality work on time. 

It is a complete gut: Foundation, Electrical, Plumbing, Roof, Drywall (walls and ceiling), Additional Bathroom, Cement Driveway, Back Porch, Landscaping, EVERYTHING.

Almost as good as 2 gallons of floor leveler (liquid cement glue stuff) used on a dip in the second floor and carpeted over!

He disagreed completely citing a story of some tenants that used an iron to burn marks in his carpets in every room and poured cement down his drainsas well as took a hammer to all the tile in the bathroomsok horror tenants aside/my argument to putting niceties in the rental is to keep the rental rented,with the housing market the way it is there are a lot of rentals to chooose from what makes yours special I am not saying buy marble counter tops but maybe corian perhaps go to ikea and get a floating vanity instead of a pre purchased tub surround tile with 12x12 make your bathrooms look like a 4 star hotel or at least a three star.why?
