They make a good product I've used that goes from 0-3/4 inch thick and will not crack.

Just killing some time before our snow fall of 4 to 8 inches, before we have to clear snow on our Self Storage. 

Also, Brandon and Josh included me in Ch 1 pages 25-26 of their book How to invest in RE the Ultimate Beginner’s Guide to Getting Started in 2018 too.

Some people are all about 'heads in beds' so they will tell you to pack every square inch of the house with sofa beds and air mattresses and cram the people in there.

Give them an inch they take a mile. 

The main door the closer always closes but it is the fit of the door that really matters for that last 1/4 inch.

You'll need to do a lot of little stuff like pulling those vents and cleaning by hand...you really need to wipe down every square inch of this house by hand.

No, to many issues and it only fits one guy.If I did STR's and wanted a hot tub (they are technical called a spa ), I'd pop about 5 grand (or so) for one (maybe on payments) that seats vs lays down about 7 seated guys.With a cover for it, and run the (probably 50 amp GFCI breaker, wiring and cutoff to it) (probably $1,500 or so electrician rates).It also needs a concrete slab under it of X inches thickness to hold the weight.Then build a small deck around half of it at rim height.The proper hot tubs hold about 400 to 500 gallons (or more) of water and that needs to be dumped about 4 times a year, with chemicals added to the existing water on a regular basis (pool service or self labor (not renters doing it).Typical they heat 24/7/365 and might cost $3 or $4 a day to keep hot (depends on your electric rates and the amount of insulation the unit has, as well as your outdoor temps..Austin will cost less then Alaska).

Like receiving a conditional pass because the plastic light switch cover has a quarter inch crack in it. 

Wear a dust mask and put a 2 inch barrier perimeter around the house and anywhere you see ant activity.
