PR efforts, such as getting featured in local media or participating in industry panels.

After a thorough review of systems, we had plumbers troubleshoot and repair/replace a couple of small chronic bathroom leak issues, and electricians installed a number of end-runs back to the panels so that rooms could each have window A/Cs running without tripping circuits and other such issue.

This included installing new tile flooring at the front of the house to enhance curb appeal, upgrading the electrical panels for safety and efficiency, and putting on a new roof to ensure long-term durability.

This month we're going to have a panel of house hackers discussing all the ins and outs of turning your home from a liability into an asset! 

Assets identified in this study include:Appliances: Oven/range, dishwasher, refrigerator, washer/dryer, microwaveElectrical and communication systems: TV connections and dedicated equipment outletsCabinetry and CountertopsDecorative light fixtures: Sconces, pendant fixtures, chandeliersInterior Finishes: Crown molding, wood panel wall covering, window treatments8.20% of the total depreciable basis was classified as 15-year class life.
