Whereas most of the inventory is standard 70 x 100 lots at 90k I have one project that will go online in about three weeks where the lots will sell from 175k to 250k and include a full fiber optic system and 100 mile western views.

Warren famously said he bought up as much Coca-Cola as he could because he realized that if they raised prices a single penny across the board, it would mean millions in additional profits - also because he predicts people will continue to drink Coke for a long time to come.So no, I don't invest in the stock market, but one type of company I might invest in today (or a couple months from now - lol) would be a company that produces fiber optic cable.

Any dirt and grit is simply pushed down into the carpet and ends up cutting the fibers over time.

If insulation grants are available, you may find it cheaper to tear off the siding, insulate and re-side with something from vinyl siding to shakes or fiber-cement boards.

If not, question how one can improve on them, without changing "the fiber of the deal"?

Not every issue is about legal, or not legal... in fact the issues that shape our character, that fiber people stand on and say- he / she is that 'kind' or 'type' of person... they have nothing to do with laws- they have everything to do with where we operate inside of the laws.

SGL carbon fiber and Mutsubishi/Aerotek brought a ton of people to the area and we were stretched thin.

Realtor, lawyer, surveyor, banker, title company, excavation, know where the flood high schools are, electric and fiber costs, cell reception, etc.  

It always seems that a few dedicated, comitted people make all the difference, in a previous life I was quite involved with one on a nationial level, the implementation of DSHEA (dietary supplements and health and education act) 1994.

Using fiber cement panels for siding on addition, stucco to match existing on the existing stucco, then we'll paint the whole thing.
