To demonstrate my technical competence, for my personal house I built a steam shower, installed radiant barriers with rock wool, and a wood stove insert with bathroom radiant heated floors and re-designed radiant floor heat zones, cutting winter energy consumption to 1/8, installed a whole house fan cutting summer energy to 1/2, extensive localized landscaping leading to a reduction to 1/8 the yard work, plus random quality of life improvements like wifi switches, heated floors and toilet seats, skylight install, exposed structural beams, and master bedroom laundry including electrical and plumbing, cathedral ceilings with skylights, a steam shower with wifi controllable lighting and music, concrete countertops, etc. 

I keep 2 months of mortgage payments in case of PM bk or theft or some kind of natural disaster preventing rents coming in.

I put mulch and or river rock over the entire front yard.
