I noticed that it does still scratch quite easily if you slide any sort of heavy furniture on it, but it's hard to see the scratches due to the color/ texture of the planks, so it still looks good. 

Prices kept rising because they thought there was an inflow of "rich, intelligent jet-setting banking wizards" in their city which made living their so desirable with huge migration inflows. 2 years later, they realized it was just speculation and you can google yourself real estate Sydney and London to see the 20% declines....

I sprayed it with a texture gun and painted it.

Oh and plus my partners wrote a 3 million dollar check and we closed in 10 business days that's how we got that deal... it was a retired basketball star that had fallen on hard times and Wells wanted it off the books by quarters end.. so right time right place.. and I had the money to rent a jet to fly the money boys in ...

Their father flys in a jet and the son will end up riding a camel...The Wave or Cycle of Technology gave us a temendous boost up to a peak that is now over.

I then bought a jet ski that was listed cheap, got it running and sold it for $1000.00.

I do want to own a jet one day (don't discredit my dream lol) My credit is ok, thus buying a 2015 impala with 2.4% interest rate.

Good thing since I can't build a deck or tape and texture for nothin'. 

The lot is only a .25 acre but large enough for the structure and good size yard. we are using a builder to complete the duplex up to wall texture, then we are taking over (this is fine with our bank financing).
