If you are looking to leverage that 20-30k you can maybe get something West of Durham, but otherwise you may be stuck in areas like Rocky Mount or Wilson.

The basic functionality of the August is it mounts to the existing lock on the inside(still uses existing keys on the outside) and operates via Bluetooth from a smartphone app.

None of the internal or external lighting is, even the wall-mounted fixtures.The fix is pretty simple -- you break out the plaster, plunge-cut through the lath neatly with an oscillating saw, put in what's called an "old work box," screw the box's wings open and down to hold the box in place, run the wires through the integrated clamps in the box.This looks like a 1970s-era light fixture.

We couldn't get in the crawl space because the current owner glued the hatch shut.

Hi Everyone,Stock market has crashed, there are mounting global economic worries, we are at the edge of moving into a recession. 

Does anyone recommend gluing a custom tub surround to the existing tile walls?

Looking for month to month or three month rentals the area around Schaumburg, Elk Grove Village, Des Plaines, Mount Prospect, etc.

Not one tenant agreed with me.Although I find it easier to address a problem "head on" I think most people are wired to avoid "conflict".It's not easy for most people to willingly place themselves in uncomfortable situations.The stress, due to lack of information, is mounting everyday, for both landlords and tenants.I do agree with a previous poster about the need to (find a way) to be equitable *when* working on a solution, even with so many variables in tenant's circumstances.Even tenants that aren't particularly fond of each other are having long, involved, daily conversations with each other over " the rent"Many of us volunteer at local pantries and have direct contact with the many, hard working, used to be middle class, families, that, through no direct fault of their own, are already homeless.Even if they are lucky?

It would be less destructive than running duct work and they can mount on a wall in a small closet.

The only times we couldn't save the hard woods was when there was a thin layer of plywood that had been nailed and glued over the top.
