Allowable Repairs or Renovations Funds can be used for any repairs or renovations that are permanently affixed and add value to the property.Allowable repairs or renovations include, but are not limited to: Installation of an “in-ground” swimming pool Outdoor living areas are also eligible along with the pool installationSubject property cannot be an unfinished model home or unfinished new construction.Kitchen appliances (i.e. cooktop/ovens/stove/refrigerator/dishwasher) may be included only as built-in fixtures (attached to property - cannot be removed) in connection with a total kitchen renovation that includes new cabinetry and countertops.

I think Home Depot sells one-piece sets on their website, but from what I hear these are harder to install.If I remove a shower/tub set like I have now (my home was built in the 1970's), then it is possible that there is no wall behind the back shower wall and no ceiling above where the old shower ceiling was.Putting in some drywall behind the back wall should be easy enough (for a contractor to do), and perhaps the same for the ceiling, but what type of material do I use on the new ceiling?
