Original idea was to remove 2 layers of siding, but engineer said he didn't know what was behind the original siding and how it was nailed down so we had to remove it down to the diagonal ship lap that was common on those older houses.  

Now make 2 diagonal cuts corner to corner the whole length of the board (so you just cut a big X).

Some jobs are coming back, but well below parity with the pay of comparable positions pre-crash.

I don't see how that is possible, the only way would be to carve out a diagonal in the upstairs bedroom closet, which I guess is what the city inspectors would want.

Is it old diagonal tongue/groove subfloor under fir?

Thanks.For I have the lender opinion as well as the investorOpinion, as an investor the line of credit sets the min bar for cost of capital and floor for opportunity cost for money.The philsophy is I can store money or pay down the principal in the line atleast it’s saving/earning me 4.99% interest as opposed to sitting in my checking where it’s subject to inflation loss.If REAL inflation is let’s say 5% rate then the real value of my money is maintained (5% inflation loss - 5% interest savings) while outside in my checking account each dollar is still 100 cents at face value, but real purchasing power parity is 95 cents a year later.This does not mean I don’t believe in any emergency funds bit rather once I’ve funded my 6-12 months of reserves I deploy extra capital into other vehicles to hedge inflation.When I find opportunities to deploy capital that meet my min hurdle rate for that particular asset class ( it varies with risk premium of each asset class) then I would deploy it otherwise Ill chill out and earn my min mentioned above.

Instead of sheet vinyl, we installed ceramic tile–later laying the tile in a brick or diagonal pattern for improved aesthetics.

It was one length of split rail long with posts on each side and diagonal supporting posts.

Way on two parcels of land that look from above like a set of diagonal butterfly wings.The west side of the development will be bordered by Bulb Avenue, Chester Street and Rankin Lake Road and feature general commercial uses on the ground floor, with apartments above the retail businesses.

A little FYI on Minnesota being "mostly empty", we have development at MASSIVE scale going, an EPIC level housing shortage, and the economist, quants and builders looking that we "might" achieve parity (supply meeting demand) in best case scenario 7 years, and that was stated as a best case scenario, with no more impactors, and continued GROWTH to building out-put on pace, and relief of supply constraints.
