If your only pool of buyers is one with "buyers with the money to fix a foundation at 15k" and holding costs of over two months due to backlog of drought damaged foundations in area and a reserve to cover the broken pipes, etc which happen when moving a cement slab?

The solvent cement process is a little different then joing regular PVC in the sense that the installer does not have to use near as much pipe cement to join.

I wish I could put in painted and sealed cement.

There are two patches in the drive way that were re-cemented over - inspector thinks this is from previous foundation repairs.

It's relatively straight forward... dig a big hole, cut a bigger hole in the cement wall... throw in a larger window... put in one of those metal guard thingies... backfill dirt.IMO, just about anyone who wants "space" in their basement should look to do it just for the amount of extra natural light they bring in at a very reasonable cost.

I've bought several houses with no cement or concrete foundations, sometimes not even piers, just wooden footers to the ground.

Thank you Ben Leybovich,That article you blogged on earlier definitely cements some of my thoughts together.

In my area asbestos siding houses are listed as cement fiberboard (same category as hardie board).No disclosure is needed.

Ideally, that underlayment is cement backer board.

Should I have the restaurant pay a nominal amount ($10/month) to further cement this is a business agreement?
