Please read some of MikeOH's posts on how tenants will place ice packs on the thermostat and have the windows open to get the heater to produce more heat.

It's a pic off my deck at the lake house after an ice storm.....with the light shinning through.

Kinda depends on who you're renting to.My low-income tenants are happy to find ANY appliances supplied.My blue-collar wish they had in-the-door ice-makers 'cause it's a status thing.And my college kids want the biggest 'cause it's a beer and left-over pizza thing.I just rented to a couple that loves to hunt and eat what they shoot but they solved the problem by buying a separate freezer.

The rest is icing on the cake.

It is probably covered in any unbrella insurance but make sure you have accident and liability insurance against any claims that could be made for someone slipping on ice, ect.And be sure any policies would insure you for "replacement cost" and not just MV.

Most of the pipes are pvc in the house.The water heater was leaking from the connections at the top and also leaking out the bottom.The two water valves for the washing mashine had slow drips because they were not closing all the way.The water spicket outside also had a slow drip.The small water line for the ice maker in the fridge was also leaking.When we were done, we turned off the water, then opened all the faucets on all floors to let the water drain out.

There are some folks out there that can sell condoms to a nun and ice cubes to an eskimo.

I'd suggest you break the ice with them talking about self directed IRAs or various trusts.

I also play for D1 hockey team here at school.

It was a lot easier to break the ice the way you put it.
