It was so bad that we’d find dead bodies behind trim, inside outlets and light fixtures and stuck between window sills.

If a guest made a reservation prior to you having a hurricane or weather policy in place, let them know how the situation would be handled before a hurricane or a bad storm arises.As far as prepping your property goes, I would recommend checking the following boxes at a minimum before a storm/hurricane emerges:- Have a plan in place to secure outdoor furniture and miscellaneous items- Trim trees & branches- Have a protection plan in place for windows and doors- Waterproof important documents- Put fragile items or valuables on elevated surfaces- Review your insurance policy- Check that your roof and siding is secured and not loose- Ensure you still have an effective way to communicate in the case that service goes out in the areaIf you do not live near your property and are unable to check these boxes, find a reliable handyman and/or professional that will be able to complete these tasks for you.If I am missing anything, please add your suggestions below!

At a minimum I’d paint all the trim and the garage door white.

New exterior paint, minimal care landscaping, new flooring throughout, new trim/doors, new vanity/mirrors in bathrooms, updated appliances.

Here is What NOT to do:- Do not spend all of your savings fixing up the okay kitchen when you have not fixed the pipes, replaced the destroyed carpet, and taken out the wet wood panels all because (we are doing renovations anyway)- And do not run around aimlessly How we handled it:- We did spend most of our savings fixing the kitchen and now have to do most of the work ourselves to get the actual issues in the house fixed (Fix critical issues before aesthetics Always)- Fix the frozen pipes: Done- Fix all taps, shower heads, and fixtures destroyed during the flood: Done- Take our the destroyed carpet in the basement: Done- Repaint all rooms, baseboards, and door trims: DoneIn summary, when faced with an issue:1.

We expect to pay $2 - $2.50/sq ft for 2 tone paint including trim and ceilings, and we supply the paint.

We paint only when needed, also you can brighten up the place by painting the walls a little rough and skip the baseboards and trim if they are fine.

We want to remodel, knock down two walls, get rid of the 80’s carpet, popcorn ceiling, new trim.

Wash the decks, stain the decks, clean the gutters, repair the road, fix the septic, repair the roof, trim the trees, rake the leaves, put down the mulch, deal with the critters, fix the appliances, heat during winter, worry about frozen pipes, pay the taxes, pay the insurance, pay the gas, pay the electric.

However, replacing all the trim/doors or having all of that pulled and painted.... while I think it would look awesome- is that probable?
