Zero, but I think that’s outside the realm of what is possible. So I am going to spend the cost of a pile of 2x4’s, a bag of nuts and bolts, and a couple bags of mortar. Hopefully \<$200. ---

fix the morter. paint it and make it really pretty. leave it to inspectors to worry about finding problems for new homowners. you think your garage sucks… ![http://www.precizion.org/drvnkd/sill.jpg](http://www.precizion.org/drvnkd/sill.jpg) mine floods around the outer edges, and has no rear gutter, is below grade and the pad is terrible. mine is a good candidate for an accident. but i have a real problem with insurance fraud. ---

OK, lets not make a traffic jam out of a one car funeral. All you need is collar ties or joists.(You already have rafters) End of story. ---

Haha :word: Leave it to the old man to bring some real world wisdom. 😛 (J/K pretty lame joke since I don’t actually even know you. You’re only in your 30’s right?) Drive nekkid, yep yer fcuked. Well, toss on a gutter, make sure the grade is right at that corner. Then torch it to the ground when it still floods. Don’t you love Tonafuckingwanda? ---

True. Relative to a ton of other places around here our taxes are good. My parents live out past rochester and are amazed that I can throw away anything I want any time I want, rather than wait for a town cleanup day to come get my _insert big crappy thing here._ It’s not like you can’t own a home on poorly draining clay. Just a unique challenge if you happen to have a problem. Same as owning a home anywhere else. ---
