This property has a really nice wood beamed ceiling which is a distinctive, attention grabbing feature.

Create two substantial columns at the corners of the landing, matching the two on the deck.Then, the beam directly above the columns can extend all the way into the pergola.

. - think old world castle builder) so he cut some 9" x 9" posts and a beam out of Douglas Fir to replace the load bearing wall. 

The termite remediation treatment is done, but the majority of the sill under the house has some termite damage - mild to moderate damage covering 60% of the sill in the front, sides, and back as well as across a couple of the floor beams. 

 - Foundation (pier and beam house) - need to level the subfloor, no major cracks - Painter- Carpet/tile- Prefab cabinets and counter- Windows (one is a cracked pane that I'm hoping can just be replaced and other is bathroom and I'm thinking we can use a little decorative window there to give it visual interest and it explains why it would look different from the rest)- Tile in kitchen, carpet in bedroomsWhat are your thoughts on using Home Depot for some of this stuff?  

Beam Apiary (run by Jim Beam - no, not that one - no liquor, but they do have local honey) just removed over 100 lbs of hive and honey from one of my rentals with zero damage to my property and zero repairs after their service.  

This is similar to raising a low spot in a pier and beam home.I expect this will be a 2-4 pier solution, depending on the size of the base you are stabilizing.

-make sure doors and windows open and close properly if some of them don't could indicate structural problems-check ceilings for water stains or stains that might be covered up with paint, or rough spots on walls could indicate water damage or possibly mold-ask seller to purchase a home warranty in your offer just in case heater or central air takes a dump-make sure floors are level, if not check beams, or foundation outside for cracks these are some major things to look for, but not deal breakers at least for me. these can get you big discounts and can be fixed

After discussions with the local building inspector about different options we decided to decomission it in place (basically filling it with concrete) and building a second wall in front of the fire box, which caused us to loose about 5 inches of living room space.We also opened up the tiny kitchen into the living space by removing the load bearing wall in the center of the house and installing a structural LVL beam in the attic to handle the load.

Since I was investing all of my money I was laser focused on protecting the investment and ensuring the best possible opportunity to make a return.
