Me too. I have been known to brush the exterior of the bags and spray them in the shower to clean them off but I worry I am killing my micro herd with the treated water. I try to clean the outside then pour a couple of gallons of water I have had sitting out for a few days thru the soil(or maybe the green lite is media and not soil). I am confused today. More so than usual...

Nick, did you get home alright? All the schools and roads are closed here with 6 inches more snow headed our way today.

So you all know what is going on. Dutch Princess is Stiggy's stalker. I have banned him 3 times and I am not much interested in playing their games so I am hoping they will tire of this and stop it.

Sorry Rose. I don’t understand people who aren’t happy unless others are unhappy. I pretty much quit Facebook for just that reason...

Let me guess: sarcasm ?
Lol i got rid of a rental after nearly going broke on it. It was not a fun venture.

I own a 4 family with 3 other people. I have had it for a decade and have not made a single dime off of it. Started out being the good landlord. I would rush right over to fix whatever the tenants broke day or night. Then I noticed they seemed to get a kick out of watching me try to make things right and they’d call over the smallest thing. The last straw was when I had to unclog a toilet one of the dirtbags pooped in minutes before I got there. It was clogged with his beard trimmer. Wound up getting a property manager to deal with the tenants. They all sent us letters saying how they liked it better before the property manager took over. Bummer. Before I owned my house, I always took care of the small stuff where I was renting. Never really bothered the landlord unless it was something beyond me or was going to cost big money. All of the tenants I have in my rental are 2nd and 3rdgeneration section 8 renters so they have probably never thought about taking care of their living areas. So if I get a little break this year(probably won’t though), I will be happy. I will never buy rental property again. Oh and I am being sued this year by someone who clsims they slipped and fell on the property. This was after he was arrested earlier in the day for domestic abuse.

No, but I don't owe anything. Works for me.

My last tenant ripped all the trims off ( pine ) and tore out the ash cabinets to burn for firewood. I guess it kept him warm while he rebuilt an old 1987 Honda motor bike in the living room on my solid oak floors. Gawd luv em eh ?

The guy who dropped his beard trimmer in the toilet used a BB gun to shoot out the windows and speckle finish the walls when he moved out. I say moved out but it was more like he just dumped all his garbagey possessions off the 3rd story into the back yard smashing wood, glass and plastic so I would get to pick it up. He then asked for a recommendation and his cleaning deposit back so he could rent another place. Yea right...

 

[Rosebud]

OMG,it is a wonder you didn't shoot him OF. I managed a rental for ten years for a friend. only had one bad renter and they were the ones who had a recommendation from a mayor close by. go figure. they were selling amway too.

I get that stuff too. But I live 3,000 miles away so that is not going to happen. My last tenant tried to slip a couple things thru and it did not go well for them. I hauled them into Court and then they had to pay legal fees too. Tenant wanted me to move some boxes of spare tiles in the basement. I printed out a copy of landlords legal requirements for my state. When her daughter flushed a stuff animal down the toilet, she got the plumber's bill for $2500. They had to remove part of the ceiling then they had to replace the sheetrock and paint it.

You're a real bear. Tenants have all the rights here. Seriously.
