I was being billed to repair and find replacement covers for 1970s style 4ft flourescent lights in kitchens.

They are a local Louisville, KY homemade kitchen that makes Bourban balls and they are great Christmas gifts.

It wasn't clear if all the outlets in the kitchen and bathrooms were GFCI like they should be.

Our standard finishes typically include:   - Stainless Steel Appliance Package (Yes, All Appliances Included)   - Quartz Countertops in Kitchen & Bathrooms   - Covered Lanai   - Fully Tiled Showers   - 9'4" Ceilings   - 8' Doors   - His & Her Walk-in Closets   - Ring DoorbellThese are just some of the features that come standard in our homes, not as expensive upgrades.

Typical "surprises" for investors are ELECTRICAL hard wired, interconnected smoke/carbon detectors - tamper free outlets and 20 amp GFCIs at kitchen counters, romex or bx wiring and covered closet lighting.

Remodeled kitchen, painted cabinets, new granite countertops, new stainless steel appliances.

Either share in profits, but if you simply don't want a second "cook in the kitchen" finding a passive partner may help.
