As a real estate developer himself, Ryan Deible knew a good deal when he spotted his 1980's built suburban home located adjacent to a wildlife preserve. He started a number of projects in the house, but has yet to fully complete them, and he has an additional list of items to repair and replace. He's set aside 5 grand to knock out his list including repairing the cedar shake roof, patching & sealing the driveway and garage floor, painting the exterior trim, and replacing the last remnants of the 80's that are lingering inside his home.
