I wouldn't recommend using the peel & stick stuff unless it was just a powder room (vanity & toilet only).

THe toilet was working fine then just got clogged up.

Also, some folks who remodel big expensive houses sell their take outs.

I have been fairly conservative on my potential sales price and remodel costs when I have been doing my evaluation.

That irks some of the would be investors here, because they are looking for nothing down or 5-10% down while their credit is in the toilet - because they do NOT understand risk.

Pulled a permit and had the inspector come out, he was in the house for no more than 5 seconds and walked out saying he can't inspect it.I called the building department office and came to the conclusion that I can't do any plumbing work on the house unless I live in it, and by law I can't live in a house that doesn't have a working toilet.

Our rentals are in a lower-middle class neighborhood, however we do complete remodels (probably way too nice for most any market) I have never had a single complaint on the carpet.

Pretty much any house you walk into in America has compression shutoff valves at the water line hookups under every sink and behind every toilet in the house.

Without actual remodeling experience you can learn it well enough to make your "guesstimates", and after having completed a large number of different types of properties you will even begin to see the unseen and come in close to actual cost, but contractors cant and dont(shouldnt) give "guesstimates".

James Wise I think her whole thought process is based on restoring as opposed to remodeling.
