Two small plastic divider containers containing: assorted nails (finish, roofing, panel trim, framing , etc), wood screws, drywall screws, sheet metal screws, wire nuts, etc.6.

@Dan L.The electrical panel in the bathroom is an electrical code violation.  

In some homes the vin is on a sheet of paper glued inside the door of one of the kitchen cabinets, to the door covering the electrical panel or on the door by the furnace.

A garage door is not an accent, and in MOST cases should be the same color as the body of the house, unless of course it's an actual wood door, faux wood, glass panels, etc.Accent what you'd like to stand out.

i am closing my first rental property in Sacramento California couple of days. it is new construction and as per california, all new homes should have solar panels on them. for some reason, solar company (sunpower) is not allowing me to lease the system (20 yrs lease, 48$ per month). i am negotiating with solar company for lease option, but would be a good idea to buy the system?

@Mike B, Curious also as am looking into purchasing a duplex with shared utilities and was told by my realtor that it would cost approximately  $6000 to do the separation- that's for a new water heater, electrical panel and install.
