@David FaulknerHi David,Contract is a gray area.

I was thinking of light gray because it’s neutral but hides more than white and doesn’t have that glare.

It's a Benjamin Moore color:  "Gray Owl".

we do tiles in kitchen and baths. hardwood in living and bedrooms.basement gets painted gray floors, white walls. same as the staircases

Hi BPrs,I just got a letter from the city attorney stating that i have a warrant out for my arrest and charged with "criminal housing violations"...however i had filied the evictions before the city even came out and condemed my property...and the police refuse to arrest them for tresspassing stating "too many gray areas"....i am seeing how the courts are protecting the "professional tenants". what would happen if i just go remove them myself!

point breeze and grays ferry ( south philly).

Have you ever read Equity Happens by Russell Gray and Robert Helms (The Real Estate Guys Radio Show).

My wife says I have three of everything, she is wrong, I think it is 4.I write off all my tools regardless of their price, there is also depreciation.If you are doing the work and like tools I am always a proponent of buying vs renting, need it once you will need it again.As far as the write offs, make sure you have an accountant that plays in the gray areas, no sense in giving uncle sam more to waste.

@Eve Oliver, @Casey Gray can chime in on this more, as he is an attorney in Oklahoma who practices real estate law. 

Many new homes the upgrade flooring is laminated popular in light gray at $2-3 from HD + installation.
