The main drain backs up every other month, and the landlord told her it was because of Tampons in the drain.

Check for slow drains, too, and run hot water down the kitchen drain for ten minutes to help clear any grease buildup.Also, check the number of toothbrushes to see if extra people are living there; check smoke detector operation (has TENANT removed batteries?)

So accustomed to getting their way and now they don't get things their way => everybody's hard work down the drain.

You will be more apt to buy deals that don't drain you of maintenance and repair dollars if you know and understand the construction of a property.

Generally drains that break or back up that do NOT contain feces.

Personally, I am not draining my money market accounts.

Empty and abandoned homes are a drain on the system and I know in my community that we have a surplus of homes in limbo.

I never considered any appliance other than the built-ins, stove, oven, dishwasher (if house had originally come with one) to be anything other than a drain on my time and money!
