If tiling a kitchen floor with Allure TrafficMaster tiles (vs thicker ceramic tiles), is it better to tile underneath cabinets if they are already removed, or not to bother and save a bit on material and labor costs?

Some of these new construction changes will include: requirements for beefier 2x6 walls that are thicker to provide more insulation depth, installing more attic insulation, installing tighter and more efficient HVAC systems and water heating equipment that may need to be certified by third-party Inspectors for compliance.

The higher end stuff which is thicker and sounds better when walking on it.

The paint doesnt have to be thinned so it may cover better...i know duramax used to give a lifetime warranty on a two coat rolled paint job...exterior, so must be a thicker coat.

What is not in the photo are the medium-priced stainless steel sinks (went with a slightly thicker gauge, deeper bottom) that will also look great in 50 years, and the super cheap fixture for $29 that looks great and will need to be replaced, as all fixtures do.So the question is which is more wise?

Seriously, Thank you for your posts on BP, you've taught me a lot and made me have thicker skin as a newbie investor. 

I would take a drywall knife and scrape down some of the thicker texture and it will look better.

These products have improved over the years and the sturdy, thicker planks with foam padding built in that click together to form a smooth floor are quite nice.

Its all a learning process, eventually ill develop thicker skin along the way.

I could make the back porch bigger, pour a thicker foundation, enclose the porch to add somebedrooms.
