Plus I make extra money on pet fees that people gladly pay.I have a lake house and you will need water toys and life jackets.

Having it leak while it rains would make me think that the water is getting in through a door gasket or another point on the units jacket.Get a hose up there and check to see where the insulation of the jacket is getting wet.

I literally watched the leasing agent miss his jacket pocket, dropping a set of keys on the ground while chatting up the prospect and walking away.

One tenant was seeking $1,500 from us for a burglary in his apartment, including an expensive leather jacket worth $800.00. 

We've been living together (renting) in Houston for over 8 years - and we're ready to make our first REI.Here's some background on me, Frank Edwards: I'm originally from Atlanta, GA, but made my way to Texas as fast as I could after college (GA Tech - Go Jackets).

Comfortable pack, synthetic sleeping bag, sil-nylon or plastic tarp, wind pants and jacket, fleece, winter hat, wicking layer top & bottom, 2 lighters, little ziploc with a handful of firestarters (I'm lazy), water filter, pocketknife, string, small first aid kit, bug dope, water bottle, led headlamp.

That being said, when you do use a picture, I would consider dressing in a tie and jacket for the photo.

Yo Jerry ,,,hope all is well up in "Gods Country"About your project;The easy answer is .when dealing with decomposed,rotten or failing pipe especially "rough cast iron drain pipe" it is best to simply remove and replace the original bad material.You want clean smooth surfaces on your drain lines especially if this is a rental,,it assures proper draining and trouble free service .In this case,Jerry I would take my time and do a thorough analysis and inspection of these original drain lines.I would certainly invite a competent local family owned and operated plumbing company to perform a sewer video camera inspection and make you a dvd showing the condition of the drainlines.If you have cracked cast iron pipe above ground its very likely you have more of it along with cracked 4" red clay drainpipe underground.If this is the case ,you must bite the bullet and have it replaced.Cracked pipe can be saved with epoxy "lining systems" but I'm not crazy about them.Yeah they are OK if done right,but at the end of the day you still have cracked crummy pipe with a liner.I like to dig up ,remove and replace bad drainpipe.Another better alternative is Trenchless Pipe Replacement or "Pipe Bursting" ,,,with this process you break the original cracked pipe out of the way and actually "pull " new PE polyurethane drainpipe using the old pipe as a guide or conduit.Check out the many excellent animated and real video footage  demos of the process on You Tube,,,,,I dont like mixing cast iron with the black ABS plastic drain pipe.I like one or the other.No hub cast iron pipe is much more durable than ABS but really doesnt cost much more.However ABS will work fine if properly installed,that means pipe and fittings are glued properly and horzontal pipe is installed and "hung" at a 1/4" inch per foot grade.You asking me about burying Fernco rubber "boot" fittings underground.I dont like them .Burying a UPC code approved "No Hub Coupling" which is a black neoprene sleeve covered by a pliable stainless steel jacket is fine.Again if its installed properly.Youll need whats called a no hub torque wrench and you tighten these suckers up to 72 inch pounds.Your friendly counterman at the local Plumbing Supply House will show you how they work.But while you there,,,I would make friends with that counterman and at least ask for a referal to a competent local plumber that takes on small projects invite him to look at your job and get an honest opinion of the condition of your drainlines and whats needed to correct things.Then youll know without a doubt whether its a DYI project or a case where your better off hiring a pro,Good luck Jerry and hope this helpsDD in L.A 

Wearing a jacket with a certain logo that constitute "conflict of interest"?

Like get on your Columbo jacket and do some serious detective work.
