What happened to the good old shoulder barge or accidental door kick hahaI don't ever remember buying a house without getting some eyes on it.I've always found some a back door or window "open" heheIf a neighbor approaches me, "No habla ingles" 😁

Solo hablas Español, o tambien Ingles  ? 

I serve Wilmington, and the surrounding counties and along with local beaches.Sherri Ingle

They were new arrivals in New Mexico, coming across the border, y ellos no hablan ingles.

People go to Kroger for value kind of a step above the Ingles stores.With online growth you can segment it even more for online only stores versus brick and mortar.

However, when/if you hire a contractor to do your remodel work, I certainly suggest that you confirm that they have workers comp and general liability coverage in place, and with decent limits (most have at least $1MM in GL coverage). 

@Lake Ingle I believe @Kevin Dougherty said it all - seasoning period depends, have a great team and understand the comps. 

@Lake Ingle I do it all the time and it definitely gives you an advantage.

Hopefully one of them will chime in. GL

@Lake Ingle,@Stephen J Davis is totally correct.
