LPT: If you're buying a house still under construction, photograph everything before the sheetrock goes up. Knowing exactly where the pipes, wires, and ducts are may prove invaluable some day, and even if you never use them the next owner will appreciate it.

LPT: If you can, Don't apply for a job that is complaining about "severe employee shortages" or the like. There's a reason they can't retain employees, and you don't want to have to find out what that reason is.
