Then you need the perforated pvc pipe about 200 bucks , and depending on the length , 1 or 2 tandems of stone about 4 or 5 hundred a load , and some sediment fence or filter cloth 3 ft wide , another 100 bucks .  

Think of it this way: regular employees have to commute to work, buy work clothes, and usually incur miscellaneous expenses in order to earn income.

I had to clean dead baby birds out of the back of a clothes dryer last week.

I did once have a tenant who didn't keep the place in what I consider "showable" condition (dishes everywhere, clothes on floor, dirty bathroom, etc).

They have nicer clothes and buy their lunches and fancy coffees.  

Throw the clothes in on your way out to pick up the kids, scoop them out of the dryer on your way back in. 

MANY old stories of dishwashers and clothes washers on cold and stools on hot water line. 

By the way I disagree with the people who recommend that you only eat rice and beans, make your own cloths and shoes, sell your car and ride a bike 50 miles both ways to work each day to save on gas.

All clothing was from goodwill.

It's 54 degrees there today so bring warm casual clothing, work boots, rubber boots.
