End result is $197 for the technician to pour some hot water and bleach down the drain line.

Mix a solution of 40% bleach 60% water and add 1/2 cup of dawn dish detergent .

Some of the damages include:-Cigarette burns on both vanity countertops-Pet, ink, and bleach stained carpets-missing shower heads (she said the old ones had mildew in them so she threw them away then took hers that she bought when she moved out)-serious paint damage past wear and tear (plus they smoked so the walls have to be painted to get rid of the smell)-beat in drywall holes-broken light fixtures-they didnt clean at all so cleaning costs-some items left (tires in basement, hangers, food in pantry, etc)-broken screens-etc.The tenants are not happy and are saying I stole their deposit.

We just closed a deal today that worked out as follows:- Two level town house in a gated community with spectacular ocean views, 20 years old, all original and in fairly 'used' condition (bleached carpet in spots, etc..)- Estimate for total renovation including new kitchen, two bathrooms, fireplace, new flooring throughout, wall removal to open up the kitchen through living space, a couple of other wall moves to improve floorplan, including permits and general contacting fees and strata consultation. $50,000, but with the expectation that it could be $80,000 to be conservative.

Have company in the mold removing business estimate the removal, or depending on the condition of the mold, get some bleach and mix it with water, remove it yourself, then bill HUD or saw why you are discounting the price greatly.

Don't mix bleach with amonia products to clean the place.Don't sit on a limb you're cutting off unless you're on the trunk side.Don't use a match to find a gas leak, use soapy water.Don't use gasoline to clean the floor in an enclosed garage especially if there is a gas water heater.Don't walk on the insulation in an attic unless its on the joists.Don't pull away a ladder unless you are sure no one is on the roof.Don't use a blow torch to peel paint off window trim. :)

I always start by ripping up all of the tack strips then mixing bleach and water 50/50 and soaking all of the floors for an hour.

haven't ran across a lot of buried well heads when I do I usually extend the casing to at least ground level and cap(still mow over it) I prefer to extend the casing at least six inch above ground and I add some bleach and cap, but the winters aren't like yours.

I have done demo work on moldy crap houses. get a dumpster, gloves, and a respirator rated for that kind of work. you can buy a garden pump sprayer and mix a very light bleach/water mixture and spray areas you are working on, it will kill germs and most importantly keep the dust down so you don't breath it in. setup a negative air flow so nasty air gets sucked out and sanitize the place with bleach/antimicrobial treatment as you go and once you are done. you dont wana fail a mold test after the work is done!

We also had to tear out the garage stairs because they were saturated with urine and feces.After two days of scrubbing the garage floor, with everything from simple green to bleach to baking soda, the place is finally smelling better.
