You can also set a temp differential so it looks like they are a couple degrees warmer or cooler than they actually are.

Just a safe livable place, it all depends on what you are doing and if it has to be brought up to code based on what you are doing, ex: new kitchen will need all outlets brought up to code and depending on the size exhaust hood for the stove that may need makeup air brought in if the fan is over 400 cfm.

HGTV consumers seem to be obsessed with cooler tones (grays, off whites, etc) these days + a couple of "unique" features that make things pop (light fixtures, a whole wood paneled accent wall, etc.).

Since I had no appliances they brought a microwave and cooler until the appliances arrived a week or so later.

You wouldn’t put in an island, wine cooler and sauna on a $75,000 house in a D area.

How many cfm do you acutally need? 

Looking for a cooler area, with potential to pick up a few rentals.

(aquariums, waterbeds, water coolers, water fountains, etc.).

This part of the phase lasts of course until the builders catch up with demand and saturate the market...resulting in a "cold" or "cooler" buyer's market. 

Best to deal with problems up front, before they occur, when cooler heads prevail.Good Luck!
