Is getting an estimate like that something that needs to be done on a regular basis? Or are you looking to sell your home soon?

I went to the Home Depot, which was unnecessary. I need to go to the Apartment Depot. Which is just a big warehouse with a whole lot of people standing around saying, "We don't have to fix shit."

Lol yeah. Then I went to the security deposit depot, which was unnecessary. I need to go to the equity depot. Which is just a big bank with a whole lot of people standing around saying "We made a ton of money and don't have to put toothpaste in picture holes before we move out."
