The most significant event in my not so short life was in 1989 when the Berlin Wall was torn down. 

The bathroom wall is the only shared wall with others.  

The biggest savings are for a recent documented reroof up to current code and then clips for roof to wall connections.  

I'm sure the smoke has penetrated the walls somehow.

A few weeks ago the pipe had a leak that was so significant that it dampened two walls and the floor.

I am looking to gain some information as to if anyone has taken down a bearing wall in a National Home. 

I say that with experience and the tenants that did this ended up ruining most of the wood floors/carpet, wall corners were chewed up, a large area of grass was dead since they allowed their new puppy to run freely regardless of if they were home or not. 

During demo of the old plaster walls and ceilings, the contractor neglected to put up any plastic to protect the dust from travelling to other parts of the house.Luckily that was day 1 of the project and we were able to correct the issue and realign our expectations.

Finding it can be challenging if the leak is behind a wall, above a ceiling, etc.

Cut out stumpDriveway - I'd clean up the driveway- not sure if it needs only sweeping hard to tell with grass in the driveway-First appearances matter.Front porch and front porch covering- not sure what that is on top but power wash.Living room- Carpet or depending on what floors look like underneath- If wood I would leave wood depending on condition, if not wood carpet- Strip wall paper off walls and nuetral paint- Not sure about the panel.Kitchen- I'd concentrate most of my money here- Tile the floors or if nice wood in the living room then I'd just extend the wood floors into kitchen.
