Thank you.. We are doing the vinyl planks and it should be waterproof. I'm just worried about tenants not being careful and running it through all the cabinets. my husband is insistent on doing it but I'm not sold... Kind of... only do necessary fixes.. Also, it would mean getting a bit more expensive fridge- and one more thing to fix if the water line breaks or ice maker goes out. :( . Just wondering if the pros of having a bit more high quality feature out weighs the risk of more broken stuff and possible water damage and holes in the cabinets. :) . Thanks for the opinion :)

We just bought an apartment and we are in the process of rehab for renters. There is no water to the refrigerator for water and ice machine. We have to replace the fridge anyway. Any opinions on running a line around the kitchen (the sink is on the opposite side of the where the fridge is) to get water to the fridge or .... Is it not worth the hassel? I'm worried about water from where you put the glass up to the fridge getting on the flooring and possible issues with running a line around the kitchen through the cabinets. It's an easy and cheap fix but... pros and cons?  Anyone have an opinion???

I just purchased a 3 bedroom rental apartment and it has the little square tiles. And they are a MESS!  the mold and mildew in there is terrible- hence I got a good deal on the place :) . Anyway.... Should I install bigger, updated tiles for the shower and risk the mold mildew grout issue or just install a prefab, fiberglass shower stall?  The stall seems more durable and easier to keep clean but the tiles are more updated.  Opinions?
