For example, if you needed surgery, would you start medical school?

It's been winterized and covered with treated lumber, plastic (think garbage bags) and metal fencing sections.

@Manda Gouvion I first started thinking about real estate 3 years ago while I was laid up recovering from ACL reconstruction surgery.

It's not brain surgery, it's just laying tile.

you obviously have some siding & J channel missing.the latter is cheap as is plastic brick molding to replace the wood rotI would then use the plastic molding product 3-4 inches to frame them & secure the siding for now.here is a pic of a window my guy re-framed with plastic brick molding (bottom piece is not yet installed) & a sliding door with plastic wood (3/4 x 3inch) look planks ready to go to better interface with the siding fit. 

The picture is of one in my house, but the one available is still in the plastic.

Just drive to a high-traffic intersection and count the number of these hastily made plastic signs.The "BSI" matters because it is direct evidence of under-capitalized amateurs trying to get into the game.

However, if i paid someone..200 bucks would be fair, and id let them keep the old heater as scrap. 500 is a bit much, unless there exists some sort of major surgery needed to replace the old one.

A great strategy with stink is to put the piece of carpet in a sealed plastic bag, if the judge questions the need to replace offer to let them smell it.

Brain surgery and divorce has taken my credit to the pit.
