What kind of flooring contractor are you?

Who pays what, and how much are they going to cost you if you're on the hook for:TaxesSewer and WaterTrashHeat/UtilitiesHOACap Ex and Ops (this is generally made up from a % of the purchase price and I use $150/month as a floor for the equation)InsuranceMgmt Fee (as a %)Vacancy (as a %)

I purchased a house in Edmonton that has a horizontal crack the entire length of one wall as well as at least one vertical crack.The work has been repaired but the seller never disclosed that the crack was there until after I ripped down some of the drywall and exposed the cracks.There is an engineers report that says that the wall has been repaired and has been restored to "structural adequacy".They installed an interior shoring wall of pressure treated 2x6's with staggered pressure treated blocking that is tied to the floor as well as the joists.I purchased the house with the intention of adding a second story.I am wondering if it will support the second story or whether there is more that I should do before I start building.The original foundations in the area are such that they should support a 2.5 or 3 story house without issue.

In my multi, it's taken a while, but the hallways are clear, the basement is clear and clean.

Don't just use too much water, as the envelopes will become damp and lose it's clean shape.

You might not like the advice I am going to give you.You need to spend a couple of years working more than one job if possible and cleaning up the current financial mess you have.

It needs at almost total renovation (siding, roof, and some floors are the only things that DON'T need major work right now).

I would drive to the nearest one, where there may be a floor person on duty.
