I try and stick to the same finish materials that have worked in the past but want to make sure that I am staying current.

I must retrain myself and constantly remember how insane this ostensibly sane place really is.And now here I am in a world guided by fear, a world suppressing the uniqueness that lies inside each of us, a world where we can either acquiesce to the inhuman nonsense of corporatism and materialism or insist on change.

After all the hours spent on our first fix and flip an all the long mornings at Lowes waiting for material to be pulled; I couldn't wait for a our rehab to be completed, but NOW I'm so ready to start the process of working on closing our next deal.

Can anyone give me some suggestions on books/blogs or other forms of learning materials?

I think Home Depot sells one-piece sets on their website, but from what I hear these are harder to install.If I remove a shower/tub set like I have now (my home was built in the 1970's), then it is possible that there is no wall behind the back shower wall and no ceiling above where the old shower ceiling was.Putting in some drywall behind the back wall should be easy enough (for a contractor to do), and perhaps the same for the ceiling, but what type of material do I use on the new ceiling?

It's also why you see the same lines or expansion joints (spacing filled with some flexible material) in some driveways and garage floors.The standard in the industry (at least in most new home building) is that a crack in the slab (including garage floor) is not an issue unless it exceeds 1/4 in horizontal or vertical displacement.  

s post because sometimes its not worth the headache, rub it with some oil, take your labor and materials out of the sec. deposit and move on. 

if you are handy, the install should cost you about $200-300 in material, for a standard system, but for the next one i do im gona try Tjernlund RX2 system, they are $229 and install in a box sil, its not a "approved" system, however their is no "code" on radon in WI just guidelines by the EPA if it accomplishes the result, Im all for it instead of 3" PVC into the floor and out the roof. just my opinion. 

Rough numbers were as follows:$161,100 for purchase price, closing costs, eviction expenses$16,500 for materials$11,200 for labor$12,900 for closing costs$201,700 all-in$243,000 sales price$41,300 profit

Not to mention having to buy the materials twice....
