Maybe there's a decision-tree or flowchart format for this kind of analysis?

I had to replace 3 20-year old bathroom sink bowls, put in imitation granite kitchen counter tops, new stove and dishwasher, new doors and drawers on the kitchen cabinets, paint the ceilings and walls, plastered and painted the garage, repaired fences, cut and trim three huge trees, go to the dump with a large trailer 3 times, paint portions of the outside the house, cut and repair a cracked concrete sidewalk, replace screens, level the yard. repair a lot of plumbing and the list goes on and on. 

However, if your home is located in proximity to deciduous trees, gutters have the potential to clog more often. 

One house had a tree “resting” on it–-which we had to remove with a crane.

found shotgun shells, bullets, knives, 1/4 stick dynamite(stump blaster) and my favorite a tree climbing harness with leg spikes.

I told them they had been drinking too much Mormon tea(I'm Mormon).

It's like a dead tree falling, you knew the tree was dead and that it would probably fall, just didn't know when and you were going to cut it down.

I originally got my mortgage through Lending Tree, and it has since been sold to a different company, so today when I called about the line of credit they told me that they don't do business with people in Arizona.Can I use another bank to pull this little bit of equity from my house?

The basic list you need to be concerned with is as follows:1) Full survey (tree, topo, title)2) Soil test3) Tree removal if necessary4) Utility hook ups - varies greatly by municipality, you will need water, waste water, telco and electric.5) Check for utility easements.  

.) - I've been trying to get the landlord of the property next door to my rental to cut down the 100 ft maple tree next door that is dead.
