So I didn't do a nautical or beach theme I did a highly upgraded tropical theme.Removed all carpet and installed tile, granite countertops with a brick backsplash.

If possible, I would skip the temporary service and have a new service installed as the very first item and then just use temporary leads from that until I was ready to start roughing in the rest of the electric.

The Fed might be shut down, but the local beaurocrats keep coming up with new laws:As of January 1, 2014, owners are required to ensure that all residential rental units have operable smoke alarms installed at the beginning of each new tenancy.

We had some problems at a job site this summer {first time for us}, so we installed my friend's "Tango" security system ...

I have the nicest place on the block after I installed new motion lights, fence, garden, etc.

I think you could get that window price down to about $300/window installed.

They took the window out so we had to install new windows.

Can't say if it's a DIY, probably not, depends on your skills of framing and engineering. 

Once I install a bath on the third floor in the master suite I can up it to around $750. 

I have a question for all diy 3 to 5 unit owners.
