@Ryan Steele I will give that a try on my next blog post.

Thanks @Mike S. and @Ryan Steele, I will look into all of these.

Hardwood floors,granite countertops,stainless steel appliances,new drywall and paint throughout.

Hi @Ron Steele thanks for the definition of the "C Property" I get it the analogy now :)

Today's exterior steel, and vinyl doors are much better with energy, insulation and weather stripping, therefore no need for storm doors.

So I have a few specific questions on these new safe harbor rules.There are some very helpful existing blogs and threads covering these topics in general.One very helpful blog is Brandon Hall's blog:Understanding the Safe Harbor Rules and Keeping Money in Your Pocket, as well as Robert Steele's thread: De Minimis Safe Harbor Election (expense rather than depreciate?)

not s lot of information to judge costs but sounds pretty close to reasonable. the upside is you could find an estimate for $40k and not be able to sell the house

(Steel for cars, copper for wiring etc.)

One with about a 2 inch rolling ball on a flat steel tape you unroll off a spool holder.

Just replace that grout, buy a coordinating shower curtain from Overstock.com with and paint the vanity and trim in a steel gray, like Valspar's Beguile or similar.
