Completely random, but I'm fascinated watching NASA's live coverage of a Soyuz module return from the ISS.  

Now, we have enough batteries and chargers to make it not worth switching brands.If you decide to buy, look at the newer tool options where you can simply switch out the heads, and use a couple basic tool bodies.

Sometimes they've let small maintenance issues go; we find out after they move that a closet door is off the track, the garbage disposal doesn't work, some of the window blinds are broken or jammed, light bulbs not working, holes in the walls from picture frames, tub stoppers missing, smoke detector batteries dead.

So the boxes could have caused these minimum clearances to not be met.But as Rob K has said, it's going to be hard to prove that was the exact cause.Due to lack of common sense in many people - including homeowners (not just tenants) - I have some documents that I supply with the lease to explain some of the simplest matters that normally fall under common sense - like changing batteries in the alarms :)

Make sure you get the proper kind to meet code.Some are battery only; some are AC-powered with battery backup; some are "interconnected signalling" (one goes off and all alarms in the house go off).

You can move much faster that way than writing things down IMO.And if you visit REO properties that have no electricity turned on, a flashlight is a MUST.And a spare set of batteries for all of your electronics; having a dead battery at a site visit is terribly inconvenient.

Albert Bui Pros: mentioned often on BP Cons: accounting module is very weak, expensive for small operations Cost: $1 per unit, per month plus an onboarding fee (equal to two months of service).

I just completed my CE for my mortgage bankers license here in Oregon today.what I found interesting and wanted to share is there was a module on license requirements as it relates to selling real estate.State of Oregon has now included Equitable interest in their definition of selling real estate.the laws we know are virtually the same in the country.. and only some state enforce this.But Oregon is the first one I have seen that has included equitable interest.

Also consider a battery-powered backup in case the power fails.
