If it's a "true" 1,700, no garage conversion or patio enclosure, you might get close. 

Dump trailer, Air Compressor,, 18 gauge Brad nailer, framing nailer and 25 gauge pin nailer, sledge hammer, contractor grade trash bags, gloves, eye protection, ear protection, plastic, painters tape, frig tape, list continues, about 100 more but my fingers are getting tired. 

I have a patio being worked shortly.  

Has a gated small backyard, a shed, a concrete patio, and a walkway to a firepit.

We saw active termites at the exterior corner of this wall (below the window, next to the patio door). 

It seems easy to compare that property to an apartment but luxury apartments come with amenities (pools, gyms, patios, trash services, etc.) your property won't.

Even a postage stamp sized patio or yard can be very attractive to midterm guests.

PLASTIC PIPE: Some builders in the Sacramento area used PEX water pipes in constructing homes.

Evidently, he buys retail water and trucks his waste out the door in a plastic bucket.     

I've left bicycles on my front patio overnight plenty, no issues.
