Agree with most things you say, specifically as they relate to fighting unwinnable wars just so we can supply oil to Europe at the cost of our boys and girls.

If you wanted to get crazy, do the oil rubbed bronze fixtures.

I will try to get a list of wholesalers to potentially investigate once I am comfortable with the whole idea.Ramon, I like Bakersfield oil and ag economy.

Some of these will ride hot commodities like oil, gold or something else for months or years, and then go belly up when it reverses.Nothing here to see, folks.

At some point, oil and water will mix.Jeff

I had a girlfriend who was special needs (epileptic), she got her money on time every month, and had someone come in who cleaned and cooked every day, the house was always clean,(unlike any of my other renters), rent was always paid on time, no damage.

Home economics, cooking, balanced diets, special diets, cleaning techniques, how to care for a home, how to make simple repairs generally performed by homeowners usually must be taught.

Second, how much fuel in an oil heat system should I be sure is in system before I rent the property?

She and I are like oil and water, we are just fine as long as we are not combined!

I think you may bet getting some higher values because of the oil related activity.
