My wife and I are remodeling a 1940s bungalow-style home in St Petersburg, and after several months of interior work, we need design help and drawings of the front exterior for our contractor to gain permits from the city and move forward with the project.The original front entrance of the home was covered with an addition built by previous owners, and we'd like to boost curb appeal and value by adding a driveway, front steps, a new door with sidelights, and an overhang jutting out from the gable with columns. 

That way, all of our locks are in the same app and have the same functionality.For exterior deadbolt locks (front door, garage door), we used this:https://a.co/d/2SFMNcy For normal interior locks (bedroom), we used something like this (the ones we have are currently unavailable, but this has similar capabilities):https://a.co/d/8C6nYenYou can create codes from anywhere without the locks having internet connection because it can create them using an offline algorithm.

Tell them straight up that there is no basis for their request; houses that has been used as meth labs have specific characteristics that this one never has and cannot be rented until after thousands of dollars in testing ($5k to $50K) and a total gut of the interior is completed. 

The very cheapest way to go is for you to wash the interior of the house. 1) Washing from the celing to the floor, including everything ( such as lighting fixture covers, the surface area above the cabinets, etc) is extremely time consuming and not easy.

For example, what if you decided to paint the interior dark green, which is largely unacceptable to the tenant segment normally attracted to your property?

A sign must be posted on the interior relating various information required by the city.

I don't see how starting interior demo and framing or rough-in work would be in the way of doing exterior work?

Then the following year I got a nice house that needed a new roof, siding and some interior repairs from the water that leaked in.

He's only warranting for two years.I wouldn't pay $40,000 to paint the entire interior and exterior!

in the SF peninsula and down to Cupertino there was a builder who built about 30k homes in the 50s and 60s  called Eickler these were modern heat in the floor tons of glass interior walk ways with gardens in them etc etc.. very unique ..
