No matter where you live or where you own assets, I personally recommend the Series LLC to be a great tool for the individual investor who is planning to expand their operation, as it allows for you to scale infinitely for FREE.

While I've learned a lot since the beginning of my investing journey, I know there's always infinite amounts of knowledge and experience to learn from out there which is why I'm tapping into the BP community and reaching out.

Again, this is likely impossible for the average investor here, and even then are you willing to set that kind of money on the shelf that long in order to save a couple grand?

And I'm no expert but you may benefit from the Infinite Banking Concept.

Then you can have a return of infinite. 

Getting one is infinitely better than getting zero, so you shouldn't be thinking about number two at all, until number one is complete. 

MAke him a partner, with a "shelf life".  

Unfortunately, I don't have anything specific to recommend, but I would start with anything you might find on the shelf at Home Depot (including the Home Depot Renovation book -- though that might not be the name). 

Can I just get a longer tongue for this off the shelf, probably cheap knob?

Take measurements of all the things you need: windows for blinds and curtains, storm doors, shelf for the kitchen, et cetera, and keep them in a notebook in your car.
