You have inherited a century old farm house and acreage in a
rural area. You have visited the site and made an inspection. The
house needs a great deal of repair work to get it marginally
liveable. You have itemized the most important things that need to
be done and estimated the time required as shown below. You plan to
use this house for vacations and as a rental property through
Airbnb. In fact, your work colleague as already expressed interest
in staying over as soon as the property is finished. Your parents
have sponsored you with a personal loan of $10.000, - that will
give you enough money to buy the supplies and have a spending
budget on help from a local contractor and two of his apprentices.
You yourself have committed to working 80 hours over your vacation
to fix up the house, but you are terrible at carpentry and
painting. Your vacation of two weeks starts on Monday the 1st of
June, and you prefer to be present when the contractor is on site.
Assume you, the contractor and his apprentices all can work up to 8
hrs per day, 5 days per week. You expect that within 2 years of
renting the property you will have earned enough money to repay
your parents. Each activity is to be performed by one person
only.
