It took me less that two hours to install the unit the first time.3: My unit is sealed with "Great Stuff" inside the wall for no air leaks around it and I found a nice thick cover for it to put on the exterior shell in the winter.For a lower end home a window unit is really the only solution if you are watching your bottom line and I feel they look too ugly to put in a window.Here are some photos of the very sanitary installation at this home.

The previous owner had removed the trim in that area, scraped down the stucco, and then plastered a thick layer over it and smoothed it out.

But I would suggest using a thick primer or an "ultra hiding" paint to cover the brown as quickly as possible.

In my old house the kitchen is 2" thick terrazzo and the bath thickset tile, but it's the ground floor with the joists exposed underneath.

The foundation was about 2 feet thick and cobblestone.

A formal education can be valuable as you will need to educate yourself on the space one way or another prior to just jumping in but nothing can take the place of the experience gained by doing deals.Your options for obtaining experience are to continue your investing activities while educating yourself, hire a mentor to help you do a deal, passively invest in a development project and learn along the way or get a job working for a developer.Development is risky, difficult, time consuming and requires thick skin and a lot of capital but it is very rewarding in a lot of ways not just financially.

It is just putting in a large thick piece of plastic. 

Some paints (exterior ones especially) are very thick.

They are thick and don't run when applying on a wall.

I was thinking a thick piece of quarter-round may do the trick, but wanted to see if anyone has remedied a similar issue?
