And let's say I want to gut the bathroom and put in new tiles, a new tub, a new sink, a new medicine cabinet etc....

Here's the thing; a doctor doesn't perform operations the first month he's practicing medicine.

If that weren't enough, Obama promises to raise our taxes; raise corporate taxes; diminish the home mortgage interest deduction; diminish the deduction for charitable giving; start a new socialized medicine entitlement; and enact a disasterous cap and trade system that will raise utility bills for EVERY American and raise fuel prices by $2 per gallon!!!

I’m stuck in the analysis paralysis part.Background is in emergency medicine and firefighting.

Any complex field, be it politics, finance, technology, medicine, or real estate always comes down to a few core principles that successful people follow.

Medicine cabinets, building materials. 

Job insecure, food, medicine, transportation insecure ~ and the first thing they need to give up is rent in times of crisis.  

Once it was a knife and it melted the handle and the next it was a medicine cup for a child.

The other had a vanity needing replacing, so I shelled out an extra $80 for a nicer-than-neighborhood espresso vanity and medicine cabinet.

I do not check their passports either…they get paid per finished project. kitchen, bathroom etc. so far the system works out well.Gutted bathroom :Install durock, tiles around bath and on the floor, toilet, medicine cabinet, vanity, connect plumbing and paint = $800 labor for finished bathroom.
