@Herndon Davis I think you need to contact a company in your area that does this. There are so many variables for a project like this that I don’t know if there are numbers that can be easily used to estimate costs.

For example, will trees need to be cut back or utility lines moved out of the way for the house? If so, what are the costs involved in doing so, and can you even cut back branches on someone else’s or city property? I have no idea but it would be worth talking to someone who does this in your area so that he or she can answer these questions

@Greg Jeanfreau we can add farm house sinks to things that suck

@Steve S. Is the oven part of a range or a wall oven?

@Zulu Black look for new tenants and raise the rent

@Nikki Closser I would try to figure out why the hotel may have chosen your location and then use that data to decide if the area is up and coming. Are there any new companies or major draws that would facilitate a hotel opening? Is the hotel targeting business travelers?

Additionally, is the hotel sitting in the middle of a huge newly developed area? (Surrounded by acres of newly laid asphalt, etc?)

@Patrick DeGarmo I used to be a store designer for Starbucks, and was part of the store development team.

DM me and I may be able to connect you with someone.

I’m curious if your property has a drive thru ?

@Renee Sied seattle painted all the crosswalks in what used to be the ‘gay neighborhood’ rainbows

@Shawn Westbrook you really need a Sprinter van with a fully decked out Festool rig

@Shawn Westbrook I would add a small fire extinguisher to my kit.

Also, toothpicks and wood glue are great for fixing stripped out holes in door frames; put some glue on the toothpicks and shove them in the hole. Wait to the glue dries, chisel the frame flat and re-insert the screw

@Steve K. I agree with almost all your recommendations. I, too, used to be against cordless tools, but think that the battery technology has come so far that cordless are the way to go (especially if you don’t have electricity near). The batteries are expensive and do crap out, however, and the technology does change, so I can see your point. DONT BUY THE CHEAPER NO-NAME batteries, though, as they can mess up your tools.

I would also suggest a Dewalt palm sander may be worth looking at.

Hitachi makes the best framing nailer, but doubt that is needed in a handyman kit
