I got a 6 place pine set that needed a quick coat of Minwax Poly stain.

All floors are sanded already, only this one room is stained with the first coat.

You don't need a new coat of paint as soon as the old one starts to look a bit tired, or to seal the driveway every second summer to keep up with the neighbors, or to buy and garage a little green tractor to sit on to mow your lawn, or to pay a housing association fee to keep out the riffraff.If you live in an aging, inexpensive house, cleaning and decorating fits and manias and spending sprees are much more easily controlled.Lastly, the cheaper your expenses are in the house, the more the rent for the other unit in the duplex goes.

I am simply blunt direct and don't sugar coat things.Look,You can either follow the advice of the nicest person here on the thread, or leave emotion behind and obey the person that backs up his claims with actual numbers facts and evidence.

We used enzymatic cleaners (had to coat most of the basement because we couldn't locate the source--it was everywhere) and got it under control but lost more than a month's rent dealing with the odor.

Remove the window awnings, anything that can be painted, put a fresh coat of paint on.

I just had another tenant (on a 2 year lease) ask me if it's OK to have a new high end black plastic coated chain link fence professionally installed with permits at his cost so their Lab doesn't need to be on a 'stringer' anymore.  

Power lines drive up the coat.

Sand the wood floors and use medium to dark stain, then 2 coats of Polyurethane 2 days apart.

If Coats & Rose are in Dallas, check them out as well.
