I have general lights but apparently, the emergency lights need to be connected to some sort of battery(I’m not an electrician) and piping in order for the lights to stay on in case of a power outage.

Hi Andy,Flocked or not, you might want to consider paying a service to remove it.It's a lot of arms overhead scraping and at the end of the day you'll be glad you did.A good painter might have the equipment to do it.And with 3 guys on it--bingo--gone like it was never there.Just have them leave the wall in paint ready condition--and you may have to prime before painting.Also spec broom clean when done and provide them with somewhere to discard the demo refuse.Good Luck!

I've had one single family rental here for a long time, just bought another, and I'm also building spec homes. 

HI IS THERE SUCH A THING AS A WIRELESS BATTERY OPERATED HALWWAY LIIGHT WITH A MOTION SENSOR, THAT IS BRIGHT ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO SEE AT NIGHT ON STAIRCASE?   

Don’t go with battery operated Security Cameras for your smart home setup.

If you're more interested in the in-fill scenario, maybe buying an old manufactured home on land and building a new spec home, then it's less the development issues above and more construction costs etc.

You need to know what exactly is there and if it has value (the contract, the person's electric bills past two years, and an inspection of the batteries/panels/and roof).

This is especially ideal for spec homes as these are popping up all over Florida right now and being rented out.

DeWalt's 18V XRP batteries are NiCads and, as such, exhibit all the usual NiCad issues such as "memory" and self-discharge.

I've also welded a broken top link on a bush hog with 3 car batteries and jumper cables in the field.
