I would look into your city and state codes, but in my experience when i installed a gas fireplace in my property instead of lining it with a new flue i simply installed a new b vent chimney inside the old brick one, and my water heater also was vented though the old brick as well with a 3" b vent, if you would like to bypass the old chimney all together and cap it (bug prevention) look into new 95% effecent furnaces, they are vented in PVC and can be vented out through side walls, they also make power vent water heaters if you did not want to convert to electric.

Even floor coverings carpet, vinyl, and tile can get out of date before it wears out.

This line, which is also white plastic PVC pipe and was installed in 1997 at the time of the garage conversion- has a thee inch "dip" in the line, and this dip runs for about ten feet.

Comps are a mix of vinyl inserts and tile.

Literally, pull up the old pipe and lay in the new pipe. ...Why would you use cast iron and not schedule 40 PVC?

Funny how the tenant that "always pays early" tells you last landlord was great because he worked with her a few days here and there.or"I didn't say anything during teh inspection but the sink squirts water when the dishwasher is running, most goes in the sink, but some under and here is the vinyl that the prior landlord put over the water damage.But all in all everything in great condition minor repairs necessary and a good group of long term tenants.Thanks for all the advice.

I would use something like Allure which is a high quality synthetic (vinyl?)

Fine with replacing vinyl with vinyl but I want something durable so we do't have to do it often.What d you use?

It may not seem likely but vinyl handrails sure punch up the look.

I prefer something that can be repaired more easily, like vinyl tiles.
