I request for the to check again and they said they would comply. 2nd plumber comes. this guys says oh yeah you have a popped water expansion tanks on both sides of your units, the PRV valves are old and need to be fixed, and also her toilet seal is weak and could also let gallons seep through randomly.

Alex, if you need an excuse to get out of the house so that you don't have to watch the Soap channel, and if the seminar is less than eight miles away and your vehicle gets 30+ miles to the gallon, it might be worthwhile to attend a guru seminar.

Another remedy that I read about was using commercial grade vinegar 15% , it is acidic and will kill the bamboo , but it cost $ 600 per 55 gallons .

If you are doing the work alone, try to think how you replace a 40 gallon water heater with a dog trying to sneak out every time you open the door. 

It typically costs $$1,000-$1,300 depending on the size (30, 40 or 50 gallons) and type (6, 9, or 12 year warranty) of water heater.

It was about 30 gallons of paint or so.

Excuse my beer math:2.5 hours = 150 miles-ishSay 300 miles each dayavg 30mph = 10 gallons of gas each day$22 gas/day 22 working days/mo = $484/mo in gasOil changes at 3k miles = 2 oil changes/mo= $160/moYou're almost at $650/mo in additional expenses each month, not including add'l wear and tear and accelerated depreciation on the vehicle. 

The local hardware store added the amount of die needed for a quart as opposed to a gallon. 

I was told it uses 1200 Gallons per year to heat 3 units which I find hard to believe.

I am currently amending my leases for this as I just had an inherited tenant forget to put the drain hose from his portable washer into the tub and had been “sleeping” and ran the whole cycle while gallons and gallons of water flooded a downstairs unit.
