The flooring in the average elementary school is Armstrong Vinyl Composition Title Flooring.  

Finishing up a 2 bed 1 bath 1400 sq ft that got new roof, gutted inside to the studs, new hvac, new wiring, new drywall, new water heater and plumbing, new insulation, new windows and doors, half vinyl half painted exterior, so basically literally all new everything you can think of and we will be at 50k.

Can you recommend an affordable vinyl mini blind  with cords to use in rentals?

It's just a fancy exhaust fan that pumps basement air out and up through a PVC pipe going up the side of the home.

Added central air/heat, granite, carpet, vinyl floors, and stove.What was the outcome?

Vinyl would throw this way off.

You might spend $3 a foot on luxury vinyl instead of $1 a foot for peel and stick.

Luxury vinyl planks click on with a natural brown matte finish. 

Has any of you heard of putting Vinyl Plank Flooring on top of the carpet padding?

But I also know that most consumers out there don't care if there is 1" closed cell spray foam on their walls and that we used fiberglass composite windows vs vinyl windows and the list could go on, but these are things that I care about.
