- Built in custom cabinets in other areas of home [can't take them with me if I move]?
- New kitchen appliances
- Replacement of 60-year-old through-the-wall air conditioner?
- Electrical outlets and wall plates?
- Ceiling lights & wall scones?
- Venetian Blinds?
- Hard-wired smoke detectors?
- Architect's fees?
