There is one guy, initials DD, who is such a sleaze bag, even being in the same room as him makes my skin crawl.

I'm sure it's probably not good for the brushes and rollers, but I don't use the best ones, anyway, and I clean my roller by throwing it away, using the ziploc again to grab it off the handle, keep the mess inside the bag, and just wash the handle.

Too quickly, sometimes, for the amount of work involved in bringing a deal to close.My personal preference is to have a few experienced investors to whom I give preferred rates and who know their stuff and won't leave me holding the bag if they make a mistake.

I recently sent them a notice and told them if I go by and I see trash under there again because they throw garbage bags there, I will send them a notice to move.Sorry this is so long.

You let the cat out of the bag...Colorado Springs is HOT! 

When the trucks came in we didn't have a fork lift so one person was in the 18 wheeler and the other person was throwing the pumpkins, watermelons, wheat straw, pine straw, bags of potting soil, plants, crates off food at you.

I once gave a roommate/tenant a small "goodie bag" for Christmas (along with a few other nice gestures, like loaning them my parking space during the snow or minor stuff).

bought solely to take weight off my hands but also carries well in my little tool bag.

You're definitely more likely to meet "investor friendly" contractors there.Great suggestion though about walking larger job sites to scout for talent, I'll definitely put that in my bag of tricks when looking for new subs!

I still don't think underlayment matters much except maybe over concrete because of moisture and I'll put tile over plywood all day long unless it feels bouncy then chances are it will crack without more plywood.My thought is it says I can put it over plywood on the bag of modified thinset so if the floor is solid then why spend the extra time and money on cement board if I'm using 0.49/sqft tile anyway and doing it myself
