The last winter I spent in Tampa, after a-sprinkle of rain, when the ground was at below freezing (I used to wear a leather-bomber jacket) caused the surface of the roads to became a 'sheet-of-ice' my vehicle was hit by another vehicle.  

One thing I wanted to mention that my inspector said who's been around the block in this city and knows his S*** (Picture Crocodile Dundee type knowledge and application) , is that these 4-plexes in this NE part of town were mostly built on expansive soil, or something with the soil, which makes them considerably more prone to movement and foundation issues over time..  

I use a classic blank leather notebook (with lines for journaling)! 

Also bought new leather couches from a discount place, which I am replacing now.  

If you're one of those timid folk who would rather swim with crocodiles than head the eviction process yourself then hire a lawyer - I recommend finding one who will evict for a set rate so you don't end up getting some crazy, unexpected bill.I evict tenants on my own (when I lived out of state my lawyer friend helped me do two evictions free of charge but the other two evictions I performed myself - they're a tad bit awkward, sure, but not as awkward as letting someone live rent free in your property).
