The not so nice, the not so easy to clean up, the not so desirable.

If they are left behind by a tenant (and are in good condition), I'll leave them up, but otherwise the windows are left uncovered for the exact reasons you've already stated.

Downsides are: they park on the quiet street uncovered.

For those who are planning on the DIY garage floor here's a tip: If something gets onto that floor while you are working, you can have a not-so-nice result, and you can't really walk on the wet floor to remove that something.

And the lady that i dealt with was so nice and easy to work with, that i would deal with these people again any day of the week.

Labor-only bids will also allow you to compare apples to apples on GC bids related to specific tasks.If there are some unexpected repairs uncovered during the inspection, this is your opportunity to ask for concessions from the seller.

A "roof over their heads" is about the minimum a tenant expects for their rent.THE reasons I want these shingles is because they are SO nice looking, AND they have a high reflective value.

thanks everyone for all your input and for being so nice!

Ahhh, that sounds so nice, I call it "controlling"… so I have been told.
