Latest project is a 3/2 1649 sq ft house in a great East Vallejo neighborhood. Purchased for $153k and will be spending approx. $12k on rehab.
Will be putting new roof on, granite counter tops, new stove, tile in kitchen/bathrooms and some painting.

Permits - Mama Mia
The ongoing question - when to get permits and when to chance it!
Recent experience where I sent electrician in to get a permit to change out a panel.
Two folks from the Building Dept. pulled up an aerial picture of the house and told my electrician that it looked like the storage sheds at the back were less than the required five feet from the property line - Are you kidding me???
Withheld electrical permit until we could confirm. Lucky me - 4'2" - seriously!
Ended up demolishing one and looking for mercy on the second - got input from asst City Manager who said that was reasonable and I shouldn't have any trouble!
Remains to be seen.
