Fifteen years ago, they were all working the graveyard shift at a potato chip factory (not kidding).

Where Potatoes and Vegetables Are Grown.

I remember our Christmas that year: two hard-boiled eggs, sauerkraut salad and four potatoes.

I can't fathom 1000 units, we are small potato at 8.

You'll definitely learn a lot about this business this way just by osmosis.

John Corey (aka: REI) will be buzzing in shortly to welcome you I'm sure, but if you look in the REO Forum he's got a lot of good info posted you may want to read first, as he covers a lot of the meat and potatoes about them from some of the nooby questions I asked.

I'm less in touch with other peninsula towns and I'm really out of touch with the San Jose and San Francisco areas.I guess what all that says is that since I'm not active in my area, I only know my very immediate market by osmosis and have a small idea of some other local communities via the news.

Surprise of surprises -- my wife has caught the REI bug by osmosis.

hi arthur,I have before pictures, but the pee stains are very hard to detect. i do not have to replace the carpet and they ran the wet style vacuum on the carpet on numerous occasions. the discolorations though are still there. i charged them to repair a dark spot (left a bag of potatoes for a long time), but not for the pee stains.just wanted to see what everyone else does when tenants move out and the carpet has stains.

There's a limit to how long you can hold potatoes.
