It includes Word, Powerpoint, Excel and something else I have never used, and forget what its call, it does not include Outlook. I just ordered MS Office Home Student for $124.99 free shipping form Amazon.com. Heck, and I just, with the help of friends on the web forums, managed to set Open Office as the default application for doc. ppt. and xls. I know my wife will be happy to have MS Office back on her machine, MS has really outdone itself (money mongers that they are) in making Office available for home use at a reasonable price, keeping in mind I can install it on both my and my wife's machine, plus another home machine, for the $125 price tag.

If any of you have done any remodeling work for your home or office, please take a minute to do this survey. Its just a few questions, will take less than a minute. I am working on starting a home/office renovation service, and would really appreciate your feedback. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/859P2WD

There is no way anyone could give you an estimate of pricing as we really can’t tell what the scope of this project is. Electrical? Plumbing? Heating/cooling system? Insulation? You have what appears to be three 6 bedroom, 3 bath apartments. (Which in my opinion is just asking for trouble.) that do clearly need some renovation. Have they all been occupied recently? It doesn’t look it. Is this your first foray into landlording? My best suggestion is to go MrLandlord.com and ask your questions there. They’ve got some amazing landlords on there with tons of varied experiences. They can guide you on all sorts of ins and outs of finding and getting tenants along with rehabbing/renovating your buildings and how to tenant proof the building. If you are doing college rentals tenant proofing is extremely important. As are your processes for screening tenants and getting the money.

I would do semi flush or flush mounts. I think you will find it will not feel looming. In the office I would do some recessed if you can and just put something in the entry. anything hanging is going to hang too low , you might be able to hang something in the office if you put it say over the desk, but that would mean the room arrangement would be locked in.
