It is located in the hill country of Texas where many homes are built on the side of hills and stairs are the only access to the home.

It wouldn't meet building codes, back then, 3 families requires fire escapes, cement walled furnace rooms which two families do not.My duplex has a CO for 2 in the buildings department, and the finance department listed it as a 3 family.

Hammer it to get between the cement and the stud then pry.

The cement floor was upheaved when we bought it there is a garage with plenty of storage so we just locked the shed and excluded it’s use from the lease.

Hi BP,I own a duplex and had a tenant reach out about taking down a handicap ramp in the backyard and adding stairs for more yard room. 

There is a lot of thinset stuck to the cement board.

STR crowd due to close proximity to ocean (2 blocks away), Baby boomers =great retirement area and it is a single-story, no stairs.

I’m a mason contractor and I have a cement company here in Detroit mi.

On hearing that, she pushed passed me, ran up the stairs to the second floor, yelled someone's name, saying "I know you're hiding here" going through all the bedrooms opening my closet doors, then went downstairs to my rec room doing the same.

Were the border stones laid down in mortar/cement?
