The strapping in our case was nailed/screwed over old plaster/drywall etc into the ceiling joists.We were able to screw 1/4" drywall into the strapping & it has held up well over the years. 

Kevin Moen I believe hit the nail on the head.

If you leave the windows bare you'll be cheapening the look on an upper priced unit or opening yourself up to the tenant hanging cheap (paint drop-cloth quality) blinds using the same nails he would use to hang Christmas lights outside, 20 penny nails!

They are nailed to the front edge of the cabinet with finish nails. 2) For particleboard cabinets, a piece of relatively thick particleboard (1/2"+) goes on first, and then a veneer of real wood (1/8" or less) gets glued on top of that, for a better appearance.With either kind of cabinet, depending on what the flooring is, there is sometimes a quarter-round molding in the corner between the toe kick and the floor, installed with finish nails.If you have time to stop by a Habitat ReStore, they sometimes have complete sets of older cabinets that were pulled out of remodels. 

In fact my wife and I are working on polishing up our primary residence to sell soon. 

Now I figured this would be an issue, therefore I have receipts scanned as well as a list in Excel of every item purchased from nails to bath tubs. 

But my target areas are probably a little less polished than yours, and I'm looking for areas with room (and the expectation) to improve in a couple of years. 

They flip the shingle 180 degrees and then nail it down.

You really hit the nail on the head there.

I am very interested in investing in real estate, especially in Indiana and with Indiana companies.....but I must confess that I would not know much about putting a hammer to a nail or what the best way for profiting from my investment (like selling it or renting it).
