The Rheem has a solid steel casing all around (hunter green) with vents that keep anything from coming in to hit the coils.I appreciate old school craftsmanship.It's just not around much anymore.Parts are made to last a few years instead of decades.Sad

I hung out and played music with a band from Greentown at Ball State about 20 years ago or so...Jason was the guys name, can't remember his last name...wow...fond memories.From the sounds of it my wife and I have a lot in common with you guys, when it comes to REI.

The copper bands?

He has access to a VA loan.My gut says to go with Tenant B and to sit down with Tenant A and give him some suggestions on what he needs to do over the next year or two to firm up his income reporting.

I can't speak for porcelain or quartz but I did some work with a company that does custom stainless steel that is all American made.

brick ranch house, about 60 yrs old. original windows are steel with steel pans (attached with metal clips to the studs).Have been getting quotes from 6 contractors and the price is from $4500 to high of $5300. this includes cutting the steel pans off, building a wooden frame, foam insulation, alum trim outside, wooden sill inside and trim inside.contractors act like this is impossible job to handle and i think they bid too high.I priced basic American Crafstman windows at HD and it came out with LowE and Argon to $2400.they quote Excalibur windows and i know they are paying less than 2k.does $4600 seem like a good price?

I have a range of property that falls within Class A property here in Northwest DC, Class B, and Class C in the VA, and MD area.

upgrades: it's a basic home. 3 + office, 2 bathroom, carpet, stainless steel appliance, laminate countertops.
