Handymen generally (as in never) do not know the code as well as a licensed Contr.The problems are:1) he is working illegally and apparently having no issues with it. 2)You are complicit in this, knowing what you know. 3) The work may be flagged in the future for code infractions 4) You will not get full value upon resale for illegal work.And - 5) By focusing on money only and using an unlicensed scab, you are taking work/money out of the hands of those that made the right choice to get their license and do things legally.

if you don't have cash or able to get a bank loan or partner with friends or family it is the only choice expensive and you budget for the additional cost 

Phillips, Gotha, parts of Ocoee; Seminole actually has more good schools than Orange County, and you can check out Altamonte Springs and Wekiva Springs.Disney also employs over 50,000 people, so Kissimmee, Davenport and to a lesser extent Poinciana are fantastic rental choices as well. 

@Andy Peck - if you have access to Southern Yellow Pine, it is a popular and durable choice... readily available, as flooring in our area and obviously, even more so further south.  

In fact you are going to help sell other people's houses by giving buyers fewer choices.

Not really, but even if it was it's good information to gain perspective into why people prefer one over the other, if there was no relevance to the issue than I'd say there is no relevance to purchase 5/1 units which we all know would be a huge problem.I like to understand the pros and cons of the advantages and disadvantages of properties to make choices in what I purchase.

Some vinyl planks also have the "click lock" mechanism and they install just like laminate or engineered wood.Even many high end condos in Manhattan are using vinyl planks now, don't let the term vinyl fool you, some brands are 3 times more expensive than hardwood floor, eg: the AMTICO brand cost about $10 per sq footThere are more affordable ones and look and feel just like natural wood floors, check out Allure vinyl planks on home depot.Something to consider....BTW, I love hardwood floor for the kitchen , so good choice :)

Or is copper piping the better choice?
