If you're a pilot...... you just came out of a turbulent storm cloud....get a few moments of sunshine..... and you see another dark patch ahead.

- When remodeling a property use orange peel texture for walls, It is the easiest to match when doing a patch job.- I am very pro installing floating vinyl plank flooring.

Its a big job grinding(diamond cutters), patching, polishing(finer diamond cutters), staining and sealing a concrete floor.I could see it in a converted warehouse setting with open floor plan, sandblasted heavy timbers, and painted industrial ductwork, etc.

Curious what other s are paying for some wallpaper removal/patch repair/crack repair and for repainting a room- ceilings, walls, trim.

I have an investment with patch of land and have to update my accreditation status every 3 months with actual bank statements or certification by an accountant 

I was expecting it to be simple patch work but it requires either capping stairs or replacing them fully which is a bit more than I was budgeting for.I need the permits before I'm willing to close so I'm not stuck with a bunch of other unexpected cost to obtain occupancy permits and paying for repairs before closing is a bad idea based on previous posts and everyone else I spoken to.

Narrow walkway in the middle leading to the front door, grass to the right, and a large patch of bald space to the left where grass don't grow under the tree.Now my motivation is to improve the curb appeal, of course, but I also wanted to experiment with using river rocks to connect and border landscape components.I wanted to hilight the walkway on both sides, I want to solve the ugly patch of dead space under the tree, and I wanted some structured planter areas, and somehow tie in the two palms to the right side of the house.Here is a sketch of the plan.I will create a set of wood borders (inside and outside borders) around the tree to the left.

Horrendous and no way to patch and repair, sooooo the wood paneling stays!

Low leverage provides more cash flow and puts you in a position to be able to ride the rough patches out.

Worst case call a flooring pro and they can patch it to blend in.
