There are some areas I may consider like White Oak.

I am from Chicago's south side (Evergreen Park / Oak Lawn area).

The aged white oak floors will be natural finished with a few coats of poly. 

Thanks for that info.Can you offer any insight as to the a) standard prefinished engineered hardwood vs. b) the 3 coats of poly atop solid bamboo or oak or some such wood to create the impenetrable surface re: water, dog urine, etc. vs. c) putting carpet in the three bedrooms and vinyl tile in the washer/dryer closet?

I'd get a single family house in bridgetown, white oak or an area like that. 

I had a friend who used to put chips on the appliances so if the home was vandalized he would find out where they took his appliances.I believe appliances, paint buckets, left over material should never being in my homes while is for KEYANY showing.

@Robert MolloyChange the logo to (1) Oak leaf or a logo that doesn't cut the leave's ends offThe site looks really clean.

It scratches, you can't put anything hot on it, you may have chipping at the edges, etc.

If you want to remove the piece from the cement, make sure the inside of the post is fairly clean and not filled w/ rust and dirt, then with a chisel, (or power chipping hammer) "GENTLY" fold the old post into the hole in the middle, it should loosen up and be able to be pulled out.

No it never works out and they always use it as a bargaining chip you just bought a new car why is my rent going up blah blah.
