I've been fully dedicated and making the right moves to get this far and feel like going back to "a regular job" just to try to get a line of credit would be a step back in the wrong direction.  

We have over 6900 dedicated attorneys nationwide ready to serve and protect you when these issues arise.

I had a customer a few years ago that decided to build his own house using credit cards to pay everybody to get points and miles.  

That said, as @Pat L. mentioned, running stand alone flue pipe through a masonry chimney is not uncommon at all, for the very reasons you're asking.Keep in mind though, you'll likely need a custom cap made to keep out the elements and critters.On another note, if the chimney is "flaking all over the place", is it sound?

Working with real estate investors, price is always going to be an issue...It needs to be a balance of pricing and quality of work...Do your research of distributors in your area and find a good quality no brand name furnace and then offer to pass along savings to your customer base...We were using Goodman, now swithed over to Air Temp 92% effeciency furnace with an Airtemp AC coil, condenser, this has saved us approx. $1,000 on an entire new forced air system.

I did a quick sketchup for a friend of what their bedroom could look like, even designing a custom bracket for a flatscreen that would allow the barndoor to slide behind it: In any case, I look forward to learning more from you all and your craft.

I figure they owe me anyway, for all the direction and advice I always seem to be giving their other customers!

Customer supplied materials ...........We do not give any warranty All we do on price then is subtract OUR cost on materials for the price , not what the customer paid for materials .

If you are purchasing a larger property, then you are likely dealing with a more experienced Vendor who would not be scared off by a custom purchase agreement.

The customer service is deplorable and all they are trained to do is sell you a service YOU DON'T NEED.
