Pressure wash surfaces that may be slippery.

Yet more rain falls on the surface area of Tucson in a year than all of Tucson and all its inhabitants consume of municipal water in a year."

We've encountered heavy traffic going north from Mission Viejo to that location, so now know to use 241 and then surface streets, not I-5.

Beyond the structure, foundation, and drainage being very questionable to begin with, this is an urban D-class Section-8 pocket neighborhood because down the road there's a well-know church halfway house that also houses child molesters semi-permanently.This was where I learned that the cheapest property usually isn't the best deal for our operation.

the downstairs is a mishmosh of surfaces and we plan to laminate over them..My first issue is obviously cost... the cost to refinish them vs the carpet... 

Actually cash value policies may look cheaper on the surface, but they are a trap.

. $2,700 mnth vs $2,250 per month, think about that, it's a lot more IF a person does the % but, on surface, it's "only" a few hundred bucks...... think about the impact of that, saying a few "hundred" more, it's not so stinging is it, feels, for most part, not a big deal, rather attainable, right.
