Lesson Learned – No More Long Distance Landlording

Awhile back I wrote about firing our property manager in Indianapolis. Well things turned out to be worse than I expected.

We love the countertop selections that we chose, and they look great in the house. However, we had been under the impression the snack bar portion would be a separate raised piece.
