Light/mid gray paneling and white cabinets/shelves.

Hi BP fam,In browsing through forums, I've come across a number of names in this business (Praxis, Ashcroft, Thompson Investing, Joe Fairless, etc.). 

Kitchen install will be sub'd out to an all-in specialist.Progress photo updates of the interior paint shown below - The wall gray was a lot lighter than I wanted but I had to make some sacrifices to keep the contractor moving - my first choice was backordered a couple of weeks.ALSO - I'm looking into painting the exterior and possibly adding some trim to pop like the below - I would leave the brick as-is (just power wash it to remove flood related grime). 

Everything else will end up in some gray area, and as long as you are doing this "for a friend" and not intentionally circumventing licensing laws to operate as a professional property manager without license, you will probably be OK.

I deal with the Federal Communications Commission on a daily basis, we have a FCC attorney in Washington to "test the waters' on how things are being interpreted at the FCC if we are looking to do something in a gray area (interpretation is a major part of what really happens).Attorneys are great at finding out how laws are being interpreted, but getting anything actually changed is a different story.Even having to get our FCC attorney involved in a simple call letter change, that ask for an 'exception' to one small rule, cost tens of thousands of dollars (he bills us at $565 an hour).Trying to get anything changed in Washington is EXTREMELY expensive, its better to find out what they are actually going to enforce and interpret the law.

I've often wondered about this grayness in the code.

Many make this mistake of cleaning with bleach or detergent and then paint the surface only to wonder why it is graying underneath.

Many gray areas, but when the facts are on your side, it can be a great thing.Jim Kennedy, CPA
