It wasn’t the worse, there were no pets, but it was pretty bad. The concrete walls in this unit helped.
I don’t do everything and I know when a licensed electrician or plumber is required.
After three rounds of insect fogging and and application of Bengal roach spray around the perimeter, followed by generous helpings of Odor-Ban, It was in renting shape.

I’m getting too old for this stuff. crawling under sinks isn’t as easier as it was 5-10 years ago.
]]>But when the kitchen sink clogged and a bit of drain opener didn’t fix it? Dude. I was on the phone to the landlord so fast to get a plumber out here to roto-root it. A dude has to know his limits. Unfortunately, too many don’t.
]]>With my headlamp, memory foam pad, and basin wrench the old one is out and the new one in in less than an hour, quicker if you are younger and more agile. I clean the top of the sink to hint that the tenant should clean the rest.
Yes, with a new exterior or bathroom door you fit the door with all of the hardware installed giving yourself an extra 1⁄16 and then remove all of the hardware and prime it including the mortises for the hinges and lock set and the inside of the hole for the door knob. Then you paint it with semi-gloss or gloss enamel, including all four edges. If you don’t paint the bottom of the door, you can plan on replacing it every year or so.
Smith comes from a long line of Republican ‘dirty tricks/rat f*ckers’. His function was to disrupt the opposition candidate at any cost, legal or not. That he would cut a deal with a foreign power to damage an opponent, is no surprise if you look at the Republican Party since Goldwater. The purpose of these people is to make someone lose, because they don’t really think their candidate can win win on a level playing field.

You don’t fix a faucet anymore, you replace it. I used to rebuild them, but now the parts cost more than a new faucet and there is less labor involved. The people who get classed as ‘handyman’ are usually underpaid individual who pass the entrance exam by being aware that that there are more than one type of screwdriver. They tend to be do-it-yourself people out of necessity – they can’t afford to hire the job done.
]]>I have an inspection in a couple weeks. I’m going to throw the book @ the agent (and make sure it’s a hard back!) They promised to fix a bunch of things 6 mth’s ago, but only 1 thing was done (guttering was replaced). That was the 2nd time they promised to fixed things but the *handyman* they had was an idiot who either did a half-arsed job or made things worse (like my kitchen how water tap!) Hmmph!
OT: Just saw this: An article by Bill Moyers about a new ad by the NRA! See what you think.
