BART is convenient though and there will soon be a ferry terminal at the end of Harbour Way South by the old Ford Plant with free parking.

doors - if outside doors=350 a door or inside doors=125 (or the cheapie 35) per door no labor.washer/dryer - just the electric cables 20 each no laborkitchen outlets - just GFI is 20 each. no laborpaint/knobs - 1.50 each knob. no laborfaucet - decent one 80-150. no laborplastic lining - no ideadetectors - either batteries or new detector at 10 to 49 eachgarage door - 1 hour labor cost for Atlantaoutside cleaning - 300 to 500 for cleaning.Do not misunderstand me, you can get the job done by yourself cheaper, but hiring two guys and the cost of materials is surprise.

Maybe that will be @Ori Skloot's next surprise for me.

Surprise....they will.
