Already had granite counters in the kitchen, hardwood floor on the master bedroom and hallways, and this really nice floor (marble, stone?)

Roofing: ChinookGC: Homan ConstructionCountertops: Alaska Marble and Stone, Granite CityPlumbing: Eureka, R&S, and Curtis Plumbing All great experiences with the folks listed above! 

I personally hate knockdown cabinets such as IKEA, I've also heard some marble and granite companies won't install over knockdown cabinets.

I do 95% of the work myself and I can do a small complete bathroom remodel in 3 days and under $2000 using nice materials and a very nice wood/marble or wood/granite vanity..

Hey @David Lem,I recommend using Victor Gomez with TRU Granite & Marble.  

HOA can say, you owe $5K in back assessment..which is far cry from 6 months back per statue and the only recourse is to pay in protest and sue..which I have done many times.

Flagstone exterior walls, marble throughout, huge ceilings, huge backyard, fountains, etc...A - $350,000 to $700,000 - I'll leave between A+ and an A as a grey area, but this would be really big and nice houses just without the extras like flagstone everywhere, gigantic backyards, and stuff.B - $250,000 to $350,000 - These are still super nice houses I'd gladly live in, but when you have to compare them to the others...C - $140,000 - $250,000 - Median sales price in my city is about $160,000.

(I've looked at the General Statues for Tenant-Landlord laws in NC, but don't find it clear enough to answer my question)

And with MS dual action deficiency statues the PG's in that state are very strong.. and since there is no equity in the deal the deal was made almost like a unsecured LOC  they just happen to tie an OERO to it and they can do that with some latitude..
