Most electrical appliances have a dedicated neutral plug today (the big blade on the plug), and the ground wire and the neutral wire in an electrical panel are connected anyway (you can take the cover off and see how they are connected).

Bullet holes I have to assume means underlying nails have moved up and out of the decking, slowly wearing holes in the slate above...or maybe bibs have slipped out of repairs, exposing nails below...or maybe surface nails that have since rusted away.

The house we are completing in San Clemente, though listed at $1,899,000, was designed with the thought that someone might want to purchase it for a luxury vacation rental, so we made sure rooms were spacious enough for bunks, plus added two separate loft spaces that would hold wall beds or sofa beds, in addition to adding additional view deck in the common area.

I had two people from one major company come out to bid extensive outside projects: deck and fencing; closet, bathroom, entry area.

Thats correct, just over 7200 sq. ft. on large lot which includes swimming pool, spa, deck, tennis court, enclosed gazebo and horse stall with turnout.

I am aware of the grind a person has to go through for the first year when being an agent but if the market is super saturated, then the deck might be really stacked against me.

Right now it's 22' and I'm considering building a small deck to raise the ground level 3' 

The handful of restaurants on the pier are open and offering wonderful al fresco seating on the pier’s deck.

An Airbnb lets us all have our own rooms, we can be downstairs or on the deck/hot tub etc.

Fencing and Decks - These can get expensive depending on how high you make them and what material you use.
