Jim in Anchorage

Better.

Yeah 4 horses. Takes the "pet friendly" to a whole different level.Regards your DW project don't forget you need a dumpster for the waste. Not a bad idea to replace it, it allows you to check for mold/mildew on the studs. Again IF you have the help to pull this off. They don't call it sheet rock for nothing.

"I rented to a veterinarian who had her boyfriend move in. The two of them started collecting animals. I had agreed to an outside dog only, but now they had four horses, six dogs, and I couldn't count how many cats! They had fenced in the backyard and put the horses in the yard, right up to the back door, and had the basement full of animals and couldn't possibly clean up after them. Then she left this guy. He stayed, and the contract was only in her name. We couldn't get this guy out of our home." 4 horses? Pet friendly is one thing but Christ...

No idea on cost spray in never did it. I would think it would be simple to do your self, use a hole saw and spray it in. The problem with drywall work you summed up well with the statement " if I just had 1-2 people to help cut and hang the drywall." That stuffs heavy. you can't do it yourself. If you got a good work crew great. If not pick a method you can do yourself.

Would you please keep out of adult threads, purple monkey? I can see no insulation in interior walls outside no. May be worth while to look at spray in insulation.

Get a belt sander on the walls with 80 grit. Fill holes with drywall mud, sand again. Spray with texture, then paint. Done this many times. Do NOT get into drywall replacement if at all possible.

I don't know much about that gay frenchy Celsius stuff, but I know -30 any scale is cold. Beautiful Anchorage +30's for 6 weeks now.

What do you pay the manager?

Why new dry wall? BTW I had Lowe's put new carpeting in a while back. It was $89 for installation. Unbelievably low, the kid worked 3 straight hours.

Give it a try. I rented a apartment out once that had no carpet, just plywood flooring.

Been a Bills fan since 1972. Only team I ever cared about. If they hire Vick I will watch them for one reason only, to root against them.

I was going to post my own tenant stories but after reading some of the nightmares on here I think I've been lucky.

:lol: It does sound good except for the olives. I love cumin, always grind it fresh.

I assumed he meant road biking.

You're afraid to go bicycling alone?

Believe it or not some of us are married and don't need to chase skirts. Alaska is just 30 miles away.

Well I would feel good with a .38 super.

I aways get a charge how you lower 48er's brag about your "natural" foods, and pay 2x for them. I eat wilderness moose I shot myself, wild pacific salmon I caught myself, and wild birds I shot myself. Vegetables? Of course there all organic. Why use pesticides when there are no pests in Alaska? Yet people living in a chemical cesspool like NJ mock me for living in Alaska.

At lest you had a last owner to talk to. Fanne Mae was a complete mystery to me, I never spoke to them. All communications between us where relayed though my REA. It was a nightmare, I am buying a $240,000 piece of abandoned property and can't talk face to face with the owner?

I had to learn in a hurry. First apt I bought was a 4 unit owned by Fannie Mae[as is] that had been sitting empty for a year. First I had to repair the damage[substantial, including water damage from burst pipes] then get renters. Learned a lot that year about buildings and tenets

Offered chicken pot pie Yeah I noticed SiC was here. Wonder what happened to him.

I know this thread will have little interest to most, but will to some. Give me your worst/best tenant stories. Thought it it would give you a chance to vent. God knows I need one. And let's hear it from the other side. Renters give your worst/best landlord stories.

You should have quit right there after this post exposed your utter ignorance of guns. Why does anyone "need" a automatic .38? You apparently think it's some hand held cannon when the reality is it's a badly under powered round for SD. Its used primarily by recoil sensitive woman with small hands. Why does anyone "need" a laser site? Why not? It's one of the best for dark room shooting. Or should we handicap our selves to give home invaders a sporting chance?

I give up. I would have to say you would never waste leftovers though. Just throw it all together.

That's like having lobster and oatmeal. Just doesn't fit.
