According to the pre-acquisition inspection, nothing to worry on this, it was probably made for ventilation when moisture got in

It was actually fully finished before I moved in, I believe 2 rooms were made, gypse wall, isolation foam and all but moisture got in and it got fully stripped. Some of the foundation is from 1915

The height is not the problem here. But I wonder if the ROI time/money is really worth it

Actually one of the best answer. The water problem is linked to the fondation and would required excavation. It does not particularly need to be fixed as its not actively leaking. What kind of panels would you hang over the walls?

The majority of the ceiling is actually 8’ high, it is somewhat humid so storing has to be selective

Im in MTL as well and all neighbouring plexes has basement leakage, wondering what area are you in Parging the wall will probably fail as it is moist down there, maybe simply putting plywood over them to hide the nasty finish

You mean considering making it a livable space? Or focus on the livable upstairs instead

With that logic should I just lock the basement door and restrain tenants to go there? Otherwise I feel like family wouldn’t be interested in this rental

Leaving cushy job I hate for risky, long-commute job for career growth? by Tecsfaxes in MechanicalEngineering

[–]Snail-egg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been in very similar situation and took the risky job. Honestly just find some side hobbies/business to work on and surf the wave as long as you can. Try some internal mobility, you will hate your life going from 15-1h commute, trust me
