Material will be $130/ square for shingle.

Hi Maryann,I just asked the question from the creators, and here is their reply regarding the Dovetail Method:Copyright (paperwork is actually in Library of Congress in Washington DC) - documents, written material, ... for DovetailTrademark - registered TM with a number of terms involved with the Dovetail Method.Patent Pending - overall process of the utilization of using revocable living trusts in an AB to BC transactions; that process has pending US patent; think this may be a first in the realm of real estate investing.Does this answer your question?

Of course, you're still going to deal with the added time and labor and material expense of new rock.

I discovered this material when I noticed that one of my company's clients uses Urban Luxury Vinyl plank flooring in kitchens and bathrooms of their apartments, and it appears to be very durable and looks quite nice.

Getting all that material for nothing or next to nothing may be the way to go here.

Or, create a low planter (a bit more work and money, but would look the best) out of the least expensive material (cinder block?)

I shopped around quite a bit (considering quality and cost) since I generally like to select a vendor and then use that material moving forward (for all projects).Home Depot stocks 4 colors of Lifeproof Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring, and they offer several other colors with 1 week lead time.

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?
