Many people are moving thick, heavy walls. 

This makes it a problem for taller people and a normal thickness of mattress and the structure supporting it. 

We received a thick envelope in the mail today from a tenant - their rent payment in cash!

You can make this work with an 8' ceiling; you just won't be using a thick mattress. 

If your roof insulation is accessible and less than 8" thick you should definitely add.

While one opinion on a property might be to put custom cabinets and 3 inch thick granite in the kitchen, the comps in the area may have formica and standard builder's grade cabinets.  

t ton money to lose, and have a thick upper lip knowing that if it does well, you will receive some money.

The irony is thick in that one.

Happy New Year DouglasYour talking to a California Boy here Douglas, whose spent more time on a skateboard than a snowboard and thats the Gods honset truth.But I'll give it a tryYou should consider insulating both your hot and cold copper lines with the heaviest poly foam insulation you can buy,,,i'm talking 3/4 to 1" thick and I mean every linear foot of pipe,,,,Now having said that,its my understanding that in colder climates there are systems where you actually wrap your water supply piping with heating wire to prevent freezing,Of course the key here is you must have 24/7 electrical power to the wiring.Now to my new friend Alex M,,,In a word Alex ,youre off to a good start,,,,,For my money ,your cant beat the Noritz tankless water heater products,,,,in the first place,,,if you have a troubleshooting issue ,they send their tech guy out to your house to check out your problem with your unit,,,you heard me right,,,Secondly ,they are a class act,,,,I'll say it like this ,,,contractors like myself LOVE THEM ,,,because we get no call backs from Noritz products,,,,Bare in mind ,,,the secret to tankless is;You want to install them on an outside wall ,,,why?

For each transaction here in California I had to sign a stack of documents two inches thick.
