I did prep it as you would cement, I made forms covered with plastic so it would not stick to the forms and I C clamped them in place to create a smooth surface under the counter.

I use 1" air gun finish nails in the end cap build ups, contact cement on the end caps, and polyurethane the sink cuts and the exposed edge where the dishwasher is.

Walked. 5 different heat and air companies said the inspector was a moron - cement ducts, of course you have temp fall off.

I ordered so much lumber (For framing) from one local lumber house that not only did I get large discounts but I got free pencils (OMG) and free tickets to local NFL/MLB games, which I rarely used, I would pass these on to my Subs to further cement our relationships.

It came back negative for asbestos which was a huge relief.This was the kitchen, looking back into the addition.There were several layers of flooring, the last of which was particle board glued to the cement.

Most businesses if something dollar for dollar equals zero or better they will keep doing it as it gains exposure.You have to make sure the marketing is right for your message and targeted audience.For example if you sent 10,000 random letters out you might get a few hits from someone you just stumbled upon but it wouldn't be the results of a focused, concentrated, and targeted mailing effort.Most want a 2 to 1 ratio or better meaning for every dollar spent 2 are coming back in return.I like to target specific properties I think are quality that I know my commercial real estate clients would like or that I might possibly have interest in for myself.Once you have a winner you keep doing it to build a snowball effect and cement yourself in the marketplace.

Zillow won’t tell you that the neighborhood you’re looking in is next to a cement plant or worse, a wastewater plant that wreaks like sewage half the day.
