You will also want to provide some modern conveniences such as cable/dish TV, wi-fi, and perhaps a few large tables (for crews to study, update their manuals, lay out their charts, whatever).

I'm heading over after work to pick up all new stainless for my kitchen, range, top/bottom fridge/ micro and dish washer for 1,500. 

Had a big white satellite dish in the backyard in 1982, back before anyone else did.  

Stuff everywhere, can't see the floors, clothes thrown everywhere, dishes piled 2ft high in the sink, ect...... - that's not a real big deal but you cant tell them how to live.

We did not always make this kind of money -- my first job was as a cashier and theirs was as a dish washer -- but we bettered ourselves and aimed for better opportunities through a mix of school and simple desire.

They may be trying to dish out a problem quickly to someone who doesn't know. 

We provide all shared supplies for the house (trash bags, dish washing soap, etc).

You should include a small amount monthly for consumable supplies (TP, paper towels, soap, dish detergent, etc.).

I once charged a friend and Korean war Marine brother $25 to remove a bed and dresser and such that someone was suppose to pick up but didn't.   

Where is the best place to purchase, linen's rugs, a television dishes and art?
