The chimneys removal was a dirty job, and I definitely spent time in the property during the process (always with a respirator mask, but I didn't upgrade to P100 until recently...gasp!)

KrchRealty right there too. The

I tell the guy that works for me to wear a mask, but he refuses.

This old house has a video on it, lots of sheet plastic, duct tape, rain suit, mask, goggles, big wetvac, fan and boxes to dispose of the waste.

Instead, find a local furniture store that carries some interesting things AND DELIVERS (e.g. not IKEA - you can look at vintage or secondhand furniture stores for some of the more interesting things, but check out the regular local furniture stores too).The benefit of buying from a local furniture store, as well, is that you can build relationships so when you're in a situation like I was a couple of months ago where I had to replace a bed, you can do something like this: I called up my sales rep, told her what I needed, she texted me photos of the beds she had in stock, I picked one, paid for it over the phone, arranged delivery, got it delivered and assembled.  

In general, look for markets that people are moving too, the economy and population are growing, and have favorable climate and desirability and start researching each market you find.

People looking for ways to get away without running afoul of mask mandates etc. took a lot of vacations at private homes in rural areas or whatever.Now that the pandemic is over, people are traveling in more traditional ways.

I'd like to know too. Thing

The mask mandate probably takes some blame too as it has also been *hot* this year.
