Voting Question: Joining the gym starting next Monday...Here's what I have so far. Any advice?

I bought a new townhome. The builder did not leave the 6"-8" of concrete foundation visible and place siding all the way to the ground. There were two huge holes under the siding. They left a hole in the wall where sink pipe enters. The inspector I hired missed both of these. The grading in back of home is incorrect. Just found out there was an issue of the county denying permits initially due to unstable marine clay being used and now my backyard has held water for 10 months and the grass keeps dying.
Was the realtor or builder responsible for sharing clay info and do I have a case against the builder and/or inspector? Your Open QuestionShow me another »
Breach of contract or not?

Was the realtor or builder responsible for sharing clay info and do I have a case against the builder and/or inspector? I questioned the water issue before I moved in and they said they would take care of it. They didn't. The county came out in Jan. They were out again yesterday and today and will be here again tomorrow.
Builder of 15 years mentioned legal pursuit. This is what I want. I want them to move me into a different home. The builder is proposing creating a bowl to deal with the standing water. Is it normal to have only one drain for four units in a townhome building? Midwest builder you say it will be expensive to repair. Can you give me an educated guess. It's a townhome, end unit.

Voting Question: Joining the gym starting next Monday...Here's what I have so far. Any advice?

Starting next Monday I'm going to the gym after work...it's five minutes away and on the path as I drive home...so might as well!

My plan is to trim some fat. The issue is the gut and lower body (big thighs...makes pants feel too tight.)

A friend of mine (football player in high school), recommended something along these lines:

Stretch-Warm-up jog-weight lifting-cardio-cooldown

I don't plan on looking like a body builder...but some definition here and there would be nice.

Exercises include:

Leg press
Calf Raises
Bench Press
Row Machine
Lat Pulldown
Crunches.

So I ask:

1). Do I have to intake a lot of protein? My goal is to get stronger...but not like ripped. My bigger priority is fat loss.

2). I plan on going Monday-Wednesday-Friday. Is that fine?

3). I hear new people tend to see results faster...is this true? I haven't gone to the gym since...I'd say November and I was pretty lazy during the spring.

Any other advice will be appreciated! Thanks!
