Then a closet door "just fell off", and you spend another $125 rehanging and repainting it.

Roof, new ceramic tile in kitchen and living room, some lanscaping, replaced some fascia, a couple of windows, a bit of plumbing, a bit of electrical, replaced both exterior doors, painted living room and kitchen and complete exterior paint.I did all labor myself, I DON'T start real early, I get off the roof in the middle of the day and I DON'T work late.That took me SIXTY DAYS, from closing to closing.

So Sunrocket up and closed its doors yesterday without warning to customers what-so-ever.

I have had deals that got me in the door without discussiong the 70% rule but more what was going on their lives and how I may have an answer.
