I've been using the 250 business cards for free code.I've always gone for the UV glossy coating, I think the standard cards are matte not glossy, but it's a choice they give you, they don't charge extra for glossy IIRC.

Ever see the movie Animal House?

paint is the best way to go if there in bad condition if not leave them alone replace thie sink bottom with a new skin clean with murphys soap and oil if interiors are rough looking put down white glue down paper.painting with one coat of primer should run you about $20.00 a ln ft. oak will show all its grain after painting you would have to put 4 -5 coats of primer sand in between coats to hide the grain and it wont completly disapear you can also paint and gel coat stain over paint for an older antique like finish

Go to Cabela's off I-80 in Hammond (about 20 minutes from you) and go to the second floor and walk to the section beyond the guns and ammunition where they sell live animal catch traps and look for bear spray.

Jennifer S.summed it up well.Farming is definitely a way of life that people will sacrifice allot of blood ,sweat, and tears for.The monetary returns are very risky,low compared to a lot of other REI activities.People fall in love with the romantic side of the business,like the picturesque scenery,animal husbandry,challenges they have no idea about,producing your own food  for sale or your own consumption,ect.Just remember this,animal agriculture requires someone there 365 days a year.Either you or someone trusted or vested in the operation.There are lots of reasons why only about 2% of the population is directly involved in agriculture.You would be wise to explore those reasons and see if you can live with it.It can be a great way of life,but it is a hard life.How do I know this?

Maybe you write a check out of a line of credit, but that is entirely a different animal. 

"except service animals." 

(pillows and stuffed animals can be put directly in the dryer on high heat). we took all the furniture apart that we could, and covered the entire room with diatomaceous earth(including taking dresser drawers out and getting every nook and cranny- being thorough is key), pulling all small items, picture frames, legos, toys, candlesticks, anything on the walls, in the closets, storage items- everything we didn't cover in de, in the center of the room and/or soaked in tubs of vinegar. we wrapped the legs of all furniture that couldn't be taken apart with saran wrap, and placed them in shallow bowls of vaseline(makeshift trap). when the bedding and fabric items came out of the dryer, we bagged them in garbage bags, and secured the bags with packing tape, making sure there were no cracks or tears, then put them in the center of the room. 4. we did that to each bedroom, the living room, dining room, and bathroom. in the kitchen, we puffed de behind the switch plates with the foam inserts, and under appliances that generate heat(heat=bedbug food). 5. we let it sit like that for two weeks, and when we were done, we cleaned thoroughly. we bought a good handheld steamer for everything that could be steamed. we cleaned one room at a time, starting with a vacuum, and wiping the de of hard surfaces. we left de in the nooks and crannies(by the way- they CAN live behind wallpaper, and even the tags sewn onto mattresses), and made sure that everything we put back from the center of the room was steamed, vacuumed, or wiped off thoroughly. we replaced every mattress and bought good covers for each of them, as a preventative measure. also as preventative measures, we left the de under appliances, we left the foam inserts behind the switch plates, and for a few weeks after, we left the vaseline traps in place.

Below I'll include a youtube link to an animated, very easy to understand, presentation on how our economy works and why we have inflation and deflation in consumer prices and assets.  

In the past my father has tried for the quickest turn around when a tenant left, generally a coat of paint and a floor fix or two.
