While you may ultimately be wrong and be forced to apologize, you really lose very little or if your tenant, especially one in this situation, actually does think you as her landlord are crazy-suspicious and should be medicated for paranoia.This technique is very much how mid-level drug dealers keep their street-level people honest in the absence of trust in their basic business relationship, and it works WONDERFULLY with trashy people skating on the edge of legality.

Note: I apologize for my bad humor. lol Yes, there are so many easy positives here in my opinion.

Hi Scott,My apologies if you covered this earlier...how are you funding your builds?

My apologies for the late reply.

@Eric FernwoodWow, I really apologize.

Also, I do apologize in advance for the long thread and I would like thank you guys for all the good information out there. 

Skip, my apologies. 

Thank you for the info, @Tom Yung and @Carlos Flores, I apologize for the confusion and thanks for the info on Arnie.

I would apologize for the delay in having to order the part and let them know that you were trying your best to get it fixed as quickly as you could.

Apologies for the long story but any help or recommendations would be appreciated.
