make a list of all your questions and present them with your paralegalno matter what and no matter where if someone is going to sue you you are going to get sued- limited liability-that way they can not attach your personal assets that does not mean they are not able to clean out the business- I think a lot of people forget thatenjoy

Should I hire a landscaper to do a full clean up of the yard?

Let me see if I can clean this up. 

Hi Tom.. search BP forum and you'll find in depth answers, but on avg it is (assuming up to 1500 sq ft)$35/ft (DIY and buying materials on discount)$50/ft (hiring out most stuff, medium grade finish)$75/ft (high end finishes; hiring all work out)Exterior.. if brick.. powerwash and repoint.. look around online/in neighborhoods (esp when it warms up)..

Once there is a leak and the EPA is involved your property can become worthless or even worse a clean up cost nightmare.
