i got cabinets for my house a few years ago from KSI. i thought they were expensive.i found HD's cabinets to be cheap, but very good. would do it again in no time.

Cabinets are best from a distributor, NOT HD or LOWES.

HD typically has a 50%+ markup, so if I order carpet by the roll, they offer 30-35% less.

Never flipped before.If you take out a HD loan and say your construction estimate comes in at $100k.Eventually the actual estimated construction costs only cost you $90k.When you take a draw does the bank give you money based on receipts/invoices?

I'd say more consistent quality over IP based cameras, much easier to do HD or 4k (not sure why you would but you could) vs.

You can fine them at one of the big box stores like HD.  

Agreed they HD is great w returns!

I was recommended https://www.amazon.com/Nest-Cam-Outdoor-Security-C...1080p HD, cloud-recording (I believe extra monthly fee), and 130° wide-angle view. 

As for transparency, we use before and after pictures of every photo, we do not create our own maintenance invoices, rather we post post vendor invoice and since most use our HD account, we post the material receipt.

I have never been a fan of doing any type of tiling for countertops because I hate the joint lines.Example (cheap)http://www.wilsonart.com/laminate/design-library/copper-alloy-y0387Example (expensive)http://www.wilsonart.com/laminate/wilsonart-hd/bella-noche-1820Wilsonart Libraryhttp://www.wilsonart.com/laminate/design-libraryIf you go with butcher block then I would add resealing the countertops to the list of yearly maintenance you do on the place.
