nah you can do it... but smarter to budget a month without the bathroom.once you start the demo you will keep going until your down to studs and joists.do everything new, you wont regret it.the chamber pot system worked before it can work again.

I found Eddie Cooke at Xenith Bank to be very helpful. 

Is it to give the person who cooks a break (why not have the other spouse cook or have the kids cook), it is to get the family together so they can talk away from distractions (got to the park, on a hike, for a walk).As for paying off debt, I think it depends on a few things: what is the difference in the interest rates (4 vs 5% or 4 vs 30%)? 

For example, new linens, shower curtains, toilet seat, kitchen coffee pot, toaster oven, curtains... even a new tv.

Do I just let them go and be done with it without stirring up the pot?

Oh, good timing I am renting a house where one tenant smoked huge amount of pot in one room the walls are black with resin.

Once you become married, the $$ pot becomes "yours" as a couple, it is no longer his and hers. 

@Pearl Cook - most programs from what I've seen offer a specialization in Real Estate within their MBA programs.  

Yes, you will pay into this pot of gold through maintenance costs, etc and there is a heavy reliance on appreciation, but at the end of the day investment is a risk vs reward equation.I have personally used this method 3 times and the tax free money that flowed into my pockets could never be matched by $200/unit monthly cash flow figures. 

You'll need pots/pans, baking utensils, bottle openers, oven mitts, and all sorts of random stuff.
