One thing I noticed on the drawing is that they have the porch (with measurements) documented but the backyard only documents a stoop and but now there is a full deck that is apart of the house.

The 50% rule is considered a conservative measure to use. 

Pretty soon it turns into a discussion about how the break room vending machine never worked and Mary brings fish for lunch and it stinks up the whole office.Same thing with buyers asking to get into the house "To measure curtains" after inspections.

They provide the following services...1) Send someone to take measurements of the room2) Create a 3D layout of the kitchen based on your criteria and vision3) Create a budget for your review and approval4) Order the cabinets, countertops, and appliances and anything else you need5) Install everything using their own vetted installation expertsThe house is a low-mid range property in Oklahoma City, so I plan on using framed semi-stock MDF cabinets with a wood veneer and formica or laminate counter tops.As far as I can tell, the biggest downfall is that they say it could take a few weeks to a month to complete the process.

Thus, very unintentionally, we find ourselves needing to make (by our measure) a big splash in the real estate market in a relatively short amount of time.

Some drain companies will inspect it but doesn't leave you with a recording, so make sure they use a good measurement - the screen should show a distance as he incrementally feed the camera cable, and if you/him see the trouble spot, slow down and go back and forth to get a good view.

One measure that you will see a lot here at BP is 'The 2% Rule' (or whatever your percent is). 

All you are measuring is the value of the inconvenience factor.

It's just a really, really poor measure and yet it's so common for people to keep referencing it.No doubt it's important for people who need to see money coming into their bank account every month so they can do whatever they do with it, and no doubt some investments that throw off free cash flow are great investments ...

And though the system is imperfect, it does add a measure of protection for all the parties involved.
