I have never used Menards.Lowes is great for selection on decorative items like mirrors and mosaic tile.

Keep focused on the goals, write them down, post them on the mirror in your bathroom so you see them every single day and make one small step every single day toward those goals.

I agreed to lock-in the price and sign the contract now because it's bird-in-hand.While the buyer is renting my house which they will be buying, they are finding things wrong with it -- carpet is heavily stained and worn (it is, my last tenants were awful), there's dings in the drywall (again, bad previous tenants), the mirrors and light fixtures are rusting (Hawaii is humid, things rust fast), and there's bugs, possibly termites.What, if any of this, am I responsible for?
