[QUOTE=mistercrash;404897]You been busy!

You sure have the right to look back at it now and be proud sir, looks like you did real good. The place looks awesome, you should get a very good return on the investment not to mention that you can rent the place at a much higher price. From the pics I have only one suggestion, the sliding doors I saw in front of the washer/dryer. Maybe put a pair of folding doors instead so that you have access to both the washer and dryer at the same time. Or maybe you've done it already and I missed the pic.

Just to get back to you about your suggestion for the laundry room doors. We had folding doors on that closet for years and have had to replace them 4 times since 2004. Those kind of doors are much too easy to damage and never last for very long. With renters in the house we needed to install something that would hold up to some abuse as well as look good. I used that washer & dryer for several weeks with those sliding doors installed and honestly it was no big deal. If you open the left side in front of the dryer you can reach right into the washer and move the clothes to the dryer with ease. If for any reason you need full access the doors lift right up and come out of the opening. The doors are actually fiberglass formed over a metal frame structure, which makes them a pretty tough alternative so they will hold up much better in the long run. Good eye though. Experience is the mother of invention, right?

We are actually hoping to stop by there during our summer vacation to speak with the tenants to see how they are enjoying the place. From all the reports so far they are loving how the place turned out. I will be installing one of those morden decor style heavy duty security screened gates at the entrance so they are free to keep the front door open for better air flow without being worried about anyone walking into the hosue unexpectedly. Most summer days there is a nice breeze that blows in this area. There is no A/C installed.


SUPERMAXX YOUR LIFE.
