Dear BP,We are in the process of researching an electrical upgrade for a 1950 apartment building with 8 one bedrooms and 2 studios, taking into account the following:We have no dishwashers or garbage disposals and won't install any,Stoves, ovens and heaters are gas,We are in Southern California,In one bedrooms: 10,000 BTU a/c for living room and 6,000 BTU for bedroom,Central water heater is gas,We'd like 2 electric vehicle chargers connected to house circuit (currently only has LED lights on it),We have no washers/dryers currently but might get one of each or a pair in the future,Our insurance company states each unit should have 150 amps.How many amps should we put in the main breaker?  

@Dawn Anastasi $14,500

Yes Dawn that is correct,,,Moen valves are the best value dollar per dollar ,also they have a feature where u can shut off the hot and cold water at the shower valve to do repairs without shutting off the whole houseA higher end valve would be SymmonsBest value for faucets would be;Chicago Faucets [indestructable,,,buy them once,,,can be rebuilt over and over]Wolverine Brass /excellent products Made in USATrouble Proof ToiletsKohler WellworthGerber AvalancheNever use Type M Copper Pipe ,,,]Red Code on pipe] always use at least Type L [Blue Code Meduim weight pipe],,,,stay away from PEX ,,,,rats like it they can hear and smell the water,,,,they'll eat it when there thirsty,,,,Hope this helps,,,,,[ can you help me find a long distance flip in Milwakee?

Yes its a PITA to move in in/out, but not worth the battle for saying no to a pretty basic request.The majority of CA rentals don't supply a refrig..... just stove, dishwasher etc.... not even washer/dryer....some do, but a larger % don't in general.

Dishwashers are much quieter now.

It dawned on me to do that after the money was spent.

One day it dawned on me that I was one hell of a great test taker; took the SAT hungover and finished in the top 10 in my state, on the law school admission test I scored in the top 10%, and had never taken a prep course.

Mortgage 25k or so with 20% dawn 20k in management fee and I make a little money and get a rental in off peak times.
