@Larry Fried I just read your 4 part series and really appreciate the info you shared.

It may be more stain resistant in the lighter colors, but you can't put a hot pan right on it like you can granite since it's really just stone particles cast in plastic resin.

Mon, Wed, Fri in the office, flying in from the other side of the country.

I have seen were the AC units are bolted down into concrete pads and copper water pipes replaced with plastic lines.

I just bought my first rental and they all have the default brown kitchen cabinets with the beige/tan plastic/formica countertops.

In February, the New York Post reported that Hank Fried and a Real Estate Broker, Tatiana Cames, were collectively fined $17,000 for 17 violations.

If not, then maybe a cheap little dog house sized plastic shed.

They have removed the appliances in the apartment and wrapped it in plastic.

Some drainage issues can be simple to fix, some drainage issues are absolutely impossible to fix... the best you can hope for in a worst-case scenario is management (Installing a french drain, a sump pump, and a dehumidifier.)An extreme solution will involve re-grading the yard (sometimes this is possible, sometimes not), or excavating the basement wall(s) and installing waterproof membranes (AKA: plastic sheets), then filling up with a PROPERLY CONSTRUCTED french drain system (Most contractors wouldn't know a correct french drain if it bit them in the ***.)Good luck.

BBQ or pan fry, and make up your own sauce....We need a recipe sub-forum.... ;-)
