Comments (7)We bought all of the tile for our 3 upstairs bathroom remodels from Home Depot in February. The only problem is that their in-store inventory is very limited; most of their tile is only sold online, and you have to have it delivered to the store for pick up. It's hard to tell online what the tile really looks like. So, it took several weeks to find what I wanted. I would order 1 box of a several different tiles, have them delivered to my local store, open at the service desk, take a look, and then immediately return if it wasn't right. Rinse and repeat until I found what I wanted. I did this over the course of several weeks while waiting for the project to start, and while gathering all the other materials such as fixtures, etc. My tile pro had the final approval on the material. If he thought there would be an installation issue with any product he told me and we would discuss. Regarding HD tile quality, he told me that the brand-name tiles at HD such as Emser and Daltile are the same as in the local retail stores. There was no higher than normal cull rate, and all the bathrooms came out great, thanks to an excellent tile pro. For my master bathroom 2 years ago, we bought locally because I wanted certain specific tiles that weren't on the HD site. For those, I found that if you are buying larger tiles (such as 12 x 24) the price is a lot lower than smaller tiles, special shapes or mosaics. But even for the local shops, my tile pro bought it for me and I just wrote him a check for his price which was a very subtantial discount from retail. About installation, I'm wondering if you are planning on DIY or are you hiring a tile pro?...See MoreTax deduction for cost of house bought for rental
Comments (61)Our sister (who is a lawyer) is the one who recommended that we get a trust in order to avoid probate. When there is only one of us (my brother and me) left, the survivor will sell the house in Los Angeles and live in Cathedral City. When Kevin retires (which won't be until 2032), he said that we should sell both houses and buy a larger house in Palm Springs or Cathedral City. There are some very nice houses in Cathedral Gulch, but a lot can change in twelve years. Right now, a new casino is being built in downtown Cathedral City, far enough away from us, but we are very close to Date Palm Drive, although we do not shop in downtown CC that much. I don't know how much the casino will affect traffic, but I do plan to avoid that area once the casino opens. From what I understand, we do need a lawyer to set up the LLC in California. It's not the same as setting one up in Florida. The lawyer did explain the differences, and he said he was going to set up two trusts for us, as he thought that was the best option for us. He has a lot of experience in this area, and I do trust him. He said he would keep the documents for us, or we could keep them in a safe, if we have one - we do not. I asked him about what would happen if he retires (He looks older than me), and he said he has no current plans to retire but that he would give all his clients a year's notice and that he has an associate who could keep our documents after he retires. I think we should probably get our own safe or safety deposit box - I'm not sure which....See MoreLooking for a low-cost refresh for tiny rental kitchen
Comments (12)Yours would be super easy to refresh. The absolute first thing would be to get rid of that florescent light. they are easy to remove and put up a regular ceiling light. (look for a light that can house 1-2 lights w/100-200 watts. use LED's) Look up, "how to remove kitchen florescent light fixture and replace with ceiling light". it's actually pretty simple. you can shut off the power from the main electrical panel. bring in a light like the one in the first pic, or something like this: you have almost no counters, so look for remnants from stone yards, craigslist, fabricator shops,,or try Butcher block from Floor and Decor/Ikea, or, make your own from Douglas Fir planks. (how to's on that too) If you're going to paint, think about adding on some boxes up top. it's really not that difficult. you can leave them open, fit them w/doors, or even doors w/just glass. The best how to 'paint oak cabs' is these two,,(plus lots of other budget upgrades) You barely have any to do so it will be a snap https://www.evolutionofstyleblog.com/how-to-paint-your-kitchen-cabinets-like https://www.thriftydecorchick.com/2015/11/the-epic-how-to-paintyour-kitchen.html check on craigslist for a counter depth fridge. (or, could you move it to that spot directly across? this way you'd get more countertop space...See Moredaywednes
