    New to adding values: ideas for kitchen please

    Thanks once again for your valuable feedback Wylie. Yeap like you suggested we will start getting quotes. Like you said, it would be great to improve the house even if the rent doesn't go up as we are also considering to move into the house for a few years in the near future.
