Personally I hate the vertical blinds often used in front of large sliding doors or windows, as they beat themselves up over time from the breezes blowing through, and the plastic clips deteriorate and snap.

It is foolish to go to all that effort and NOT change the tub also, as you will need to tear it all out to do so once leaks start showing up in a space below or next to the tub.Re-glazing is usually a better option than a plastic or fiberglass kit, even though these kits can last a little longer.

Running rentals is not rocket surgery and you don’t need a mentor for that in my opinion it might be helpful when you hit snags but the concept isn’t very complex ..that being said ,there are other strategies in RE that I would consider enlisting a mentor for .

If Plastic I would investigate further.

Secondly, Nationwide Childrens Childrens hospital is adding on a new orthopedics and surgery center, new research facilities, and a new 12 story inpatient hospital tower.

Glad I did the inspection despite it being uncomfortable, because I found a few other issues that need to be addressed. dishrag and plastic straws in garbage disposal and continuing to unplug the sump pump despite being told not to. 

I go over and find that the wife has hooked the disposal up, then shoved plastic bags in the washer drain and the disposal was pushing the water out the roof vent!

I could spend hours telling you horror stories about pet damage.I have vinyl plank  in one of my units - my concern is that although each individual plank is waterproof (it IS plastic, after all!)

Our slab guy didn't install a ground rod in the slab, so we had to ground it outside the slab and it took some discussions between them.Also in 2015 a LOT of electrical codes changed, we've run into this issue on several projects the last few weeks where even though our permits were pulled in 2014 and technically the new codes shouldn't be enforced, the inspectors are enforcing them anyways, so some other nitpicky stuff like installing plastic wire holders instead of using staples and having to mount sconce and pendant lights to the structure instead of leaving wires in the walls had to be addressed.
