While it may take some people half a day to buy and install a new dishwasher, garbage disposal, hoses, and a sink, that guy ain't me.

Seems like it would be easy to overdo it with the sander, and hose yourself.

Little more info for everyone here.The hose was attached to the spigot and drained  before winter, as I was always taught growing up, and I`ve never had a pipe burst. 

When talking with your Fire Marshall the discussion will probably come up that you need to be within so many feet of a fire hydrant (in my case it was 400 ft) and a hose would have to wrap around the building for that.

I have the money to do smaller homes but nothing major yet.My main concern is having a good contract set up with the investor so that both of us are very clear on our agreement and that neither gets hosed.

I’m getting hosed a bit on the insurance side, but that is leveling off a bit.  

We’ve had AC units stolen, the tenants themselves stealing the appliances as they moved out; the tenants not paying for their own water and hooking up to someone else’s water with a garden hose to ‘reverse power’ their plumbing… not realizing that with their water meter removed the water was then flooding the front of their property.  

Am I getting hosed?

The traps I was speaking of are in my shop anyway where there is no food source, yet they still like to come in and nibble on spark plug wires, rubber hoses, etc.

Once you have the grease out of the porous surface (maybe use a surficant like dish soap with a scrub brush, and let it sit, then hose it off--a few times).Just my 2 cents.
