I'll just call them "festive" lights.

The deferred maintenance to the property includes, but is not limited to, roof damage/leaks/roof replacement ($4.5k), deck repair ($1.5k, gutter replacement ($1k), landscaping & tree work ($1k), carpet replacement ($500), and kitchen/bathroom repairs/upgrades ($3.5k).

You can't really learn without doing IMO, but you may learn some aspects by videos, like wiring up a light switch or putting a door knob in, so I agree with Jon. :)

We dodged an expensive problem a little more than a year ago when an ESA on a multi-family brought to light two abandoned USTs (~1000 USG each), both of which likely still had residue oil in them {unless they had rusted through and leaked}.

Hopefully I've been able to shed some light on the other side.

That is very cheap, I don't think $250 covers the E&O per deal and a decent profit to keep the processor paid and lights on.

We all conserve energy by only using the lights in the common area when needed and turn off the a/c and heat once the last person leaves for the evening.

I've removed several unnecessarily sarcastic posts and hopefully we can continue the thread from here on a more positive light.

Remember, a night view of ocean could just be profound darkness, and it is then the light from the coastline that brings the night to live.

Had to replace a few things like light bulbs, some trim around the basement door. there is a finished room in the basement, I am doing some painting in there and it should be ready to hit the rental market.
