pallet and shingle cabin.wmv

This is a design concept for a16 X16 pallet and shingle cabin. Pallets are cheap and give good structural support when attached to a 4×4 post set in concrete. Tar paper and shingles are very weather resistant and cheaper than siding. Together they make a very inexpensive home! The design is for a mild climate area but could be adapted for areas with snow with a different roof structure. For more solar home designs visit: www.simplesolarhomesteading.com

Serious ATV logging for the homeowner that heats their home with fire wood, the QuadSkidder is the ultimate ATV accessory. As a log skidder, this tool cant be beat. Professionals use this system to harvest their timber sales with low-impact logging. In our field tests, we pulled 20-foot-long green logs with 20-diameter butts with the QuadSkidder! The plate glides smoothly over uneven terrain and forest debris, from large rocks to small logs and sticks. The curve prevents unwanted plowing, unlike a standard choker chain that embeds your drag into the dirt, over-working your ATV.

Doe realtors ever pay repair or other costs to close a deal?

My house is close to settlement. The appraisal came through 2K short of the buyer mortage but 3K above the actual sale price. It was planned that I would return 5K to the buyers. Now I STRONGLY believe it to be fair to only return 3K to the buyer since the house appraised for more than the actual sale price. The buyers demanded that I split the difference and provide 4K to them. Since I lose 1K from the orginal deal I agreed only to do repairs that were required by the town I live in, leaving out some repairs that were requested from the home inspector. All repairs are minor including some minor electrical, roof(actually a shingle), gutter, and AC repair. The total would most likely be below 1K.

If the buyers do not agree to me not making all the repairs is it ok to then presure my agent who stands to me 4% off the deal to take care of some repairs.
Or simply put do realtors ever provide money or repairs to close deals?
Sleek my realtor is receving 4%(great deal for him) and the buyers agent(Foxtons) 2%.
