Sure it costs a little more but especially in a dining room it makes sense not to have carpet.4) I would also do something about the lawn and maybe add some red flowers or something to give it a little bit of color (maybe some mulch and bushes).

There's no shortage of posters who advise this or that and advice is appreciated, don't get me wrong, but I'm searching for anyone who actually tried them...AND paid their fee.Of course THE BP forum would attract a RE lender scammers like the Boy Scouts attracts pedophiles - AND I'm NOT saying this supposed collection of lenders is anything less than what they claim to be until proven unworthy - BUT when an outfit charges a fee with no way to telephone a human being...red flags go up.privatemoneygoldmine.com list a number of contacts in the zip code selected and 'Iron Clad GUARANTEE' if a patron does not get funded- they refund the $97 fee.I actually read the TERMS & CONDITIONS on websites insted of just checking the box.
