I had to install a anti siphon/back wash valve on the utility sink and we removed the water softener as it was not plumbed "correctly" - could not lock the bypass. 

What do they wash each time?

Was he a speculator?

("I'll order pizza and we can wash some walls" sounds like a nice date night, right?)

You need to take your car, jet ski to the car wash.

As for what the house needs, it needs a new kitchen and appliances, remodel 2 bathrooms, new lighting throughout, new hard wood throughout, a lot of wall paper needs to come down and repaint entire interior, carpet the basement and reinstall new drop ceiling in basement, power wash house and refinish outside deck.

How was he related to the relatives was one of the questions someone asked?

Instead they just wanted us to power wash walkways, and paint hallways instead!

So its kind of a wash.

Since then, rents have definitely increased, but so have the property values, so I'm guessing it's still a wash.
