In fact, my opinion, because of issues with a particular store, is that LOWES SUCKS, but I must use them as Home Depot and my other sources don't have everything I need and QSP deals are just too hard to pass up.

They think their flips need to look like they've been featured in a Home and Garden magazine.

Thanks for catching my error.The property is in Houston, just inside the loop in Shady Acres near the rapidly appreciating Garden Oaks/Oak Forrest area.

I am seeking garden style or low rise units. 

They don't pick it apart like "well, I can go to Ikea/Home Depot or wherever and buy this and have a handyman install it".

(We renovated a house ourselves and there are hundreds of Home Depot receipts, for example.)We wrapped up the 1031 exchange in February so I do have all the necessary dates/amounts at this point.

Lowes has some plastic surrounds that look like subway tile, pretty cute, but you could also clean the tub surround and paint the grout lines with a very light gray “grout renew” paint and sealer by custom at home depot.

It's like a blackhole - once it's starts it's nearly impossible for these places to reverse the trends - a few places in KS have gotten better - Dodge City, Garden City, Hays - they hang on and are relatively "progressive" (I use that term loosely) compared to their other rural neighboring cities) and have found a way to survive and somewhat thrive in today's society.  

Innovative shed décor can turn the old gardening shed into a haven of tranquility for mom or a gaming studio for those noisy teens.SummaryBy choice or lack there of, many more people are living in smaller spaces and will continue to for the next few years.

For laminate go with Home Depot I think its called glacier.
