Looking at buying a fixer upper.
Advice needed on:
1. Rotten bottom of support beam in basement. The rest are good.
2. Sagging ceiling in front door foyer. Wall paper over some kind of ceiling material.
3. Strange discoloration on siding - it looks like somebody smeared roofing tar on it at some point in the past. What is it?
4. Wall support/butress installed in basement. I have never seen one of these before. In perfect condition and installed by government contractors in last five years. Wall appears to be plumb.
Water in basement is from spring thaw in eastern Canada.
