A dripping faucet that takes a couple minutes to fix, a clogged sink that gets snaked in two minutes, or a toilet that runs that needs 30 seconds to install a new rubber ring on the flapper.

Last week I get a woman on the phone who won't even tell me what her ESA is (after we determine it is an ESA)  is it a dog, cat , horse, snake? 

They don't believe this list includes birds, fish, snakes, other reptiles, mice/rats, etc..  

Less than a year after my first purchase and after several drain cleaning (snake/hydro-jet), I learned that my main sewer line needed replacement all the way to the city main (~80ft). 

Longtime Pacer fan but I'm pretty ticked off they beat the Thunder last night.

OK2 days in to moving in, toilet backs up and overflows, plumber comes, snakes tree roots out, says home warranty wont cover it because its an existing problem.

Same for assorted raccoons, possums, woodchucks, snakes...It's not a nice part of being a landlord, but you have to get rid of vermin.

It is well-worth the cost and I think I pay $600 per month and if I get sued I have to pay the first $25,000, but when I was sued without having EPLI insurance I was visioning my ex-employees owning my apartment buildings and I lost 30 pounds because I would get up every night at 1 am and work all night putting documents together.The worse and most-aggravating thing about the Civil Lawsuits is my employees sign three documents every week acknowledging that they took all their breaks and my employees enter the number of hours they work every day on their time cards in their own handwriting and not one of the employees who worked for my company worked overtime and every employee signs a legal Wage Earning Statement every week, but the attorneys still file the Civil Lawsuit and they don't care who is right or wrong because they know that I will pay money to make the cases go away.So, if you want to expand, then make sure you create documents your employees sign every week stating that they acknowledge that they are entitled to the 10-minute uninterrupted, 1-hour uninterrupted lunch breaks and make sure they sign stating they took their breaks, create two copied of Wage Earning Statements, make sure your employees sign one copy and check to make sure your Wage Earning Statements cover everything they are supposed to cover e.g. tracking overtime, tracking vacation time allowed and vacation time used, etc.You never know what employee will sue you and if an employee is seriously injured I am the first person who wants to make sure that employee is 100% covered by workers comp, is covered for disability and I want to back that employee up like he is my own child, but even when an employee is covered by insurance many employees are snakes and they turn against you and many employees are seriously injured and their lives are upside down.

Plumbers snaked the main and laundry drain finding construction debris as well as rust clogging the lines.

The day will come, however, where this safety net evaporates and you'll see the good operators from the snake-oil salespeople.Having said that, there are also great operators that truly underwrite properly and make realistic projections.
