Ceiling, 'ceiling white' and doors and trim in semi gloss white.

So do I use the projects feature and then just set up individual expense accounts for things like framing material, trim labor, electric service, and sales commission?

I have a rental that I’ve owned for six years that has lots of exterior wood trim.

For large tasks and project milestones (rough-in, framing, drywall, doors & trim, painting, etc) I build a Gantt timeline using a scheduling tool. 

All new fixtures. 5000 Replace improper basement ductwork 3225 A/C coil and condenser 3200 Stairway into basement - bring up to code 2250 Washer/Gas Dryer (stacked) 1800 Paint throughout 1500 Transfer taxes 1200 New carpet - stairs and both bedrooms 1000 Gas water heater 800 new fridge 800 Exterior paint 800 Demo/creation of fridge location 725 Replace wood rot along roof line and cap with metal 700 Roof coating 700 new gas stove 600 Trim repair, doors for both closets, door for 2nd bedroom 500 Window blinds throughout 300 Minor siding repair - rear 200 New screens 150 Total costs 34200 Offer ALL CASH 21799

Trim hedges, mow lawns, plant flowers and haul away any junk from the yard.

For trim I use snow drop white from Mautz.

This is a brief summary of what the property needs:Exterior:remove old roof and replace with new one (Shingles/asphalt)Some serious landscaping (Removing plants, trimming tree branches etc)Partial Painting (Brick/Aluminium siding)New garage doorInterior:Install drywall in the lower level of the house (it's a split level house)PaintingDemo wall between kitchen and living room to make it an open layoutRemodel 2 bathrooms (Tiling, new countertops etc)Panting kitchen cabintes and install hardware, new appliances, tile, and new countertops.Installing carpet on the family room and basementReplace closet/bedroom doors and trimReplacing and installing outlets/switches New water heater Install laminate The total project costs came at 67K (including an 11 % fee or 6,700 the contractor is charging me for running the project).

I see the reasoning for it and I've met too many plumbers that shoot themselves in the foot by messing up the trim.

I do stop by once or twice a year to trim bushes and low hanging limbs so that I can keep shrubs the size I want but mowing and snow removal is simple and something most renters should be able to do.
