It's a 15 y/o house with architectural shingles.

Hanging cabinets starts with how square the walls as well as how plumb.Get some clamps and a bundle of wood shingle (Not the wimpy shims)Predrill all cabinet screws. 

Here are the details.1 acre with stalled project house- peeling shingles, house wrap, wood windows, sitting for 4 years at this stage 😳Adjacent is another acre, and then also an additional 4 acres with a modern metal barn- and lots of junked cars. 

The only thing I will say is that 7-10 years away is a lot easier to predict with "a roof with architectural shingles" as opposed to an HVAC system.

Here are some details:Current buildings to demo are approximately 2600 sfLot size is 10,700 sfI'm assuming 10 units at 700 sf each to arrive at 7000 sf of new constructionConstruction type will be timber, shingle roof, low-grade fixtures, and dual pane windows, linoleum flooring, inexpensive countertops and cabinetsThere is already a driveway along the property line to access side facing units.  

Roof damaged so bad for one property that pieces of shingles larger than my hand were laying all over the ground.

Roof had previously been replaced w/architecture shingles and only needed minor repairs. 15.

Lastly, a very dark red-orange for the entry door (I'd lose the screen/storm door).For the roof, use black shingles, and if you really want a nice classic finishing touch, do a standing-seam metal roof on the porch.You might want to replace the railings with something nicer that has simple newel posts at the bottom, wouldn't cost too much, and would be a bit more welcoming.

Usually everything in the yard is overgrown (much more than one weeks worth), the trim around the roof has chipping paint and possible even rotted areas, the shingles look distressed, drapes inside are dirty/stained or look extremely old etc.

I saved over $800 (Bulk discount was only $580) on my last shingle order by doing this, and I got my 11% rebate in the form of a gift card.
