He has circular saws, sawzalls, multi tools and a whole host of other tools battery powered.

A little bit of a circular argument in my opinion.

Do you want to make $10 an hour with a hammer and a circular saw or $10K an hour negotiating a deal?

Curious how the dog operated the circular saw without opposable thumbs! 

Appliances are the real hiding spaces, too, so I put some of the circular poisons on the backsides of these.

If I was a betting man, and had only this picture to make my bet, I would say that this is an freeze-thaw crack - pressure from the soil outside the foundation pushing inward (hence the semi-circular pattern - not stair-step, not vertical or horizontal), so it might be a matter of some exterior grading/drainage work followed by an epoxy grout crack filler repair to remove moisture.I recommend you get it checked out - put a contingency in the contract that covers your bases, so you're only out a couple hundred bucks for a structural inspector. 

The best bet is to meet with a securities attorney in your state and try to figure out a way to avoid a full-scale offering circular and operating agreement with subscription agreements and such.  

If you are still going to pursue the business, I would get ahold of the franchisor and get a circular from them.  

I have a circular saw, can borrow a table saw, and I have a paper slicer. thanks

That reasoning is circular.
