I've seen 2 of the same floor plans in a subdivision be 20k off.  

I own the unit on the first floor and the water heater issue was on the second-floor unit.

Hi everyone,The tenants that had lived in the first floor of my parent's duplex have finally moved out after 10+ years.

Like, I had to install a tile floor, a bathroom.

I am wanting to know what sort of cabinet styles and finishes last the longest and would give me the most bang for the buck and an idea about flooring. 

When I purchased I went ahead and imrpoved some of the exterior, new flooring, appliances, etc.

Scope of Work:Land clearing for 20,000 SQFT of brush, trees, a pond, and a fire pit; re-grade the land, add fill, hydroseed, and black mulch the rock wall before the orchard.Demolition of 1,100 SQFT: 5 walls (two retaining walls), ceiling, flooring, and subflooring.Installation of two 3 ea. x 12" LVL beams and lally columns supporting the open floor plan where the retaining structure used to be.Removal of existing oil boiler, oil storage tank, and existing water heater.

New flooring throughout.

We then had to pour a new slab as it had a dirt floor.

We re did the kitchen, floors, and the master bathroom What was the outcome?
