it would be nice if a management company was big enough to have a full time maintenance man on staff....this way you don't sub out and get ripped off for little things...i have seen a 240 dollar bill for caulking a bath tub...c'mon...that should be illegal!

Any recommendations on what type of tub to use in my rental?    Also, if you have a specific tub that you use at Home Depot or Lowes, which one is it?   

Well I got a text asking if a plumber can come out to fix a clogged bathtub.

They have bathtubs and showers. 

Have the AC checked out and rehabbed if needed.Ask her if she wants new living room and bedroom carpet, if so, apartment tan.Paint the walls inside if she would like that.Take her drapes down and take them to the cleaners for a spruce up.Redo the exterior paint to a modern color, and keep an eye on the roof.Have the yard spruced up if it needs it, plantings cut back, trees trimmed.Since she is a friend of the family, I say make it nicer place for her, since she was so nice to you.I would probably leave the kitchen alone, other than a new vinyl floor.And swapping out the bathtub for a walk in shower might be a lifestyle enhancement for her (with ADA grab bars).Of course you don't "Have" to do any of this.

That sounds like a pretty good neighborhood.It only takes a couple hours to turn a bathtub into a shower:http://www.vintagetub.com/asp/product_detail.asp?

She then went on to explain what systems need to have a value assigned to them: -HVAC systems ( motors, compressors, boilers, furnace, chillers, pipes, ducts, radiators) -Plumbing systems (including pipes, drains, valves, sinks, bathtubs, toilets, water and sanitary sewer collection equipment, and site utility equipment used to distribute water and waste to and from the property line and between buildings and other permanent structures)-Electrical systems (including wiring, outlets, junction boxes, lighting fixtures and associated connectors, and site utility equipment used to distribute electricity from the property line to and between buildings and other permanent structures)-Gas distribution systems (including associated pipes and equipment used to distribute gas to and from the property line and between buildings or permanent structures)...

The 13 windows I have to replace only come to $4100.The tile in the bathrooms are good so I'm just replacing the messed up wood counters by the bathtub, sinks, and vanity. 

He said that he graduated business school in that third of the class which made the upper two-thirds possible.I also like his "bath tub theory of economics": The idea that you can think of your finances in terms of "faucets" letting water into your wealth "bath tub" versus "drains" which let it escape.I was also part of his "WinKids" Self Esteem program early on.

I have a crack on the bottom of a bathtub in the middle of the tub about 6 inches long.
