In all seriousness, I really respect your choice to "follow your dream" at such an early age instead of taking the path of least resistance and going to work for "The Man" right after college.Thus far, your recipe for success has been to work harder, not "smarter", control costs by doing all of your own labor and buying all of your own materials, living frugally, renting them out as you complete them and then, rinse and repeat.Screw working "smarter."

@Joe Kalis I agree completely about the concern about water. if we remove the tub we will be able to see if the leak is caused by the plumbing or the poor seal around the current surround.If we use a liner and the water damage is caused by plumbing I will not have solved the problem so your point is a good one. thanks

I say thank the tenant for the call and get yourself or someone over there for an hour's worth of labor to caulk under the sink and make the drawer work properly.
