I poured the foundation myself using quickset cement ($30 plus my time).

These really old houses don't have cement between the bricks, it's lime and sand mortar, so it's not very secure when you dig under it. 

The scope of repairs include: complete renovation of master bathroom, kitchen, and guest bathroom.I spent about $1,700 on materials for the master bathroom (vanity, lighting, tile, grout, 2 medicine cabinets, cement, drywall, etc.).

I have heard of people pouring cement down drains, and they frequently take appliances, and often other things you would think should be in the house.  

I have done framing, trim, repaired cement, power washed homes, yard work, landscaping.

Dean, I agree with @Chris Ayars, I would cement bricks around the window well to raise the area around the opening and then get a window well cover that could go over top of the opening.

Cement block construction works great. 

The sink was cemented to the marble countertop so the repair isn't easy. 

Hey guys, just found this article on the cement/concrete block made with Sargassum... check it out https://www.theyucatantimes.co...

It only cements what I have long been doing as "the way".
