You replace the "faulty" unit and everything seems fine for a week.

The issues typically rose when I was trying to replace or fix items in the her apartment.  

We did most of the leg work ourselves all the way through getting building permits, including verifying zoning, designing the structure with an architect, land surveys, soil studies, sewer line replacement, running the water line, getting the demolition permit w asbestos inspection & demolition of the original 1-car garage. 

I am 23 years old and have a stable job as an engineer.  

My name is Brian Blenner and I am currently an Project Engineer for a general contractor out of San Francisco and I recently transferred from Washington DC.

During this time at home, I learned a ton about rehabbing our house and generally have a confidence about repairing/replacing most things. 

Or, are painting, carpet replacement and professional cleaning regular costs that I should absorb after 10 years?

Total replacement value is being quoted at around $110K.

I have an offer on a property I am developing, and I am wondering if there is a way to keep my ultra-low property taxes via Prop 90 (CA prop to transfer basis to replacement home).
