However, in return I would ask for increased rent of $650, to take into account the improvements you want and additional water use and wear & tear. After you read this let me know whether you think this is reasonable. I'll try to answer all your questions: Q. I believe you had mentioned some termite issues and I wanted to make sure that we would not be doing anything to cause the floor to collapse as we would be removing light items for heavier items. A. I really do not think it is a problem. In addition to the oak floor, there is a subfloor, so heavier items should be fine. I'd draw the line at a waterbed, though! Q. The stove is a bit problematic... A. No problem to look into this. I'm sure it can be repaired. I will give the appliance folks a call. Q. Do you know if the garage apt. would support a 2nd line being installed? A. I'm sure it will...go ahead and do it; if the phone company runs into any internal wiring problems let me know and I'll call my phone wiring dude. Q. Do you know if the washer/dryer connections in the garage part work for sure? A. I have a bad feeling about those connections! I'll get them up and running, and can get someone to haul the old washer off. Q. I am guessing that they would need to be gas, not electric? A. I would strongly recommend a gas dryer because it is so much more economical. Plus you would not believe how much faster you can get jeans and towels dry than with electric! If I have to get a new connection installed it will be gas if possible. Q. At one point, you had mentioned doing something with the kitchen floor as the linoleum has seen better days... Would it be possible to look into this? A. I have always thought linoleum in a black & white checkerboard pattern would look really cute in there. It's cheap to install and fairly easy except I'm leary of taking on the project myself because pulling up the old stuff is going to be a you-know-what. I will call & ask my handyman, unless you and Deron are just dying to do it yourselves. Q. Do you know if any paint is leftover? A. The color I used on the trim was Antique White semigloss; there should be some left in the garage. I'll check and if not I can pick up some for you at the paint store as I'll be going there this week or this weekend. The only additional issue I have is parking -- Dianna is staying with me and helping w/rent for the next several months and I'd like her to be able to use that middle space. I know it's a pain but either you or Deron would have to park on the street. The other option is to get one of the back garage doors working so there is access to the garage from the alley. If I did this do you think y'all would use it, or is that too impractical? As for timing with the oven, W/D connections and kitchen floor, I'm taking the first full week of Sept. off and it would be easiest for me to get everything done then if that's okay with y'all. Call if you have further questions!
