No kidding. I hate parking lots. Usually a PITA, but sometimes an easy one comes through. And that's just getting them ready to work with. Not trying to actually lay out the fixtures. That's usually easy, just play with them in the photometrics (LitePro by Hubbell Lighting) app. I'm back down to 8-5, but getting up at 4:30 or so every days sucks.

LJ, that's a really clean looking rig. F250 crew?! don't see a lot of those. I could see the locking hubs, but from your pic, that unit looks like a lowrider 2WD. if you put those wheels on, it will look more SUV than truck. maybe get low-profile tires and complete the lowrider look.
Black is a tough color to keep clean. I pick my wheels now, based on ease of cleaning ( & look). I had a '92 Grand Marquis, and it had great factory alum rims, but they were impossible to clean. toothbrush to do it properly. just think about those nooks & crannies for cleaning. I think a 5-spoke style would look okay too, alto I do like the rims you guys picked aswell. tires?? where's OFC (AKA= Toyo!).

other than the PU truck & wood pile, it's not too bad. I used to rent and ALWAYS left the place as good or better than I moved in. I found a few landlords absolute peckerheads about refunding the deposit, or being super nit-picky about the condition (despite the fact it was worse than that when you moved in, but they always glaze over the pre-inspection). So I didn't want to be like them.

But that's what you get when you have a property management company running things.
