The single-story home, purchased by Lee as a gift for his daughter, boasts seven bathrooms, a pool, a movie theater, and a spacious entertainment deck.

I’ll likely close on the property around early November and it will need small cosmetic updates, maybe a new deck, and of course new furniture set up.

So yes, this is my first time having a contractor leave towards the final stage of a project as other work that I've done are minimal like fence repairs, deck replacements, sink repairs, hvac etc.

Think about a 3 level cabin with 3 decks.  

I believe they likely will talk, they share a back deck and am concerned the different rates may negatively impact the relationship if that scenario played out.

Are you wanting a review on a marketing deck for major call outs at a high level?  

I have been considering building a treehouse on a parcel I own as high as I am able with a wrap around deck with 360 degree mountain views as my next project. 

I also wonder with the NAR settlement with NAR also use its leverage in other states.Also I would say on deck (prob. a few years still) after this will be Sub2 and seller financing - which many states already have pretty strict licensing laws regarding seller financing on owner occupied properties but they are just not enforced.

It may or may not have central air, deck, porch, etc.

Major items include clearing overgrown shrubbery, replacing doors, fixing up the deck, getting a pond running again, and removing an in-ground hot tub.
