They can still use the burner it just requires using a lighter to start. 

Hi Dana,In addition to paint, maybe put a strip of black indoor outdoor carpet just in front of the door (and on the steps if they are not cement).That area is going to take most of the abuse of moving (scraping appliances and furniture) in and out, as well as most of the foot traffic.Cut 3 or 4 more sheets and toss them in the attic for future use.A hand full of staples is much cheaper and faster on turns than a full repaint.Also keep in mind that is a long narrow space and Lighter colors make things appear larger, darker colors--the opposite.Good Luck!

Kind of concerns me, and map stats in my current area are very accurate with the maps darker and lighter colors for areas of lower and higher crime.

I've seen him in his car smoking, found a pack a cigars on a patio chair, and a lighter.

I plan on super "spiffifying" this property, Good price for a nice little property.You said you wanted to super spiffy it up.I did a quick mockup of a more modern look.Hardieboard, stone, metal roof, eaves extended, etc...Lighter colors look bigger.Good Luck!

It's important to not let rent fall too far under market rent (for resale, for cash flow, etc), but it is worthwhile to reward goodstanding tenants with a lighter increase than you would use for a new tenant. 

-Used 19 gallons of paint due to an extra coat being needed as we were going from a darker color to lighter in on area

Gypcrete is a lighter weight product that is similar to concrete, and the density is what absorbs the sound.

New lighting and faucets added throughout, all wood floors were stained in gun stock, and all interior walls were repainted with a darker gray in bedrooms and a lighter gray in common areas with a bright white trim.

They seem to go lighter on us then.
