One outlet that does not not work, hot water tank needs electrician to do final wiring.

Oil tanks.

I  saw an episode of Shark Tank where a couple of ladies had created a bed bug "trap" that you put under the mattresses  and it kills the bed bugs.

Great cottage property in wonderful area went in foreclosure- auction takes place in 3 weeks. current owner will need to be evicted by new owner, no idea what shape he will leave the place in, being as angry as he is. last year taxes due also.House will need septic tank, currently has cesspool.House will go well under market value, but anyone have experience evicting someone after a sale?

If you run out of oil, the heater will suck up sludge from the bottom of the tank and gum up the system.

A typical 50 gallon water heater will be around $350-400, and an expansion tank will be another $40.Labor and additional materials will generally run $100-125 for installation.Overall, I'll pay about $500 for replacement of a H2O heater...while $650 is a bit on the high side, it's not unreasonable for a retail plumber.Though as Mark said, YMMV...

Yeah I have this same problem.Make sure you spend an extra couple bucks per tube and get the good stuff.It will be waterproof tight and the good silicone stays pliable and flexes when expands.This keeps the seal 100% tight.The cheap crap won't flex and then will start cracking and allow water behind it in certain spots.Will slow the leak down but not get rid of it completely.I would take this time to make sure where the ceiling is soft that there is no leaks coming from the tub drain,shower diverter,or shower head pipe behind the wall.Also it's not always the tub leaking.The toilet is usually close by to the shower.The seal at the toilet to the floor for sewer or the bolts from the tank to bowl could be bad or the seal for the flush between the tank and the bowl.The water can slowly run down the outside of the back of the tank under the sub floor.When you take the drywall off and look at the sub floor underneath you should see darker areas where the leak is more prominent.You can also use a moisture meter to determine the first point of entry for the leak.Make sure control valve and diverter are snug to the wall and sealed properly.Water can get behind there while taking a shower and cause a slow drip.

Current version of the sharks that profited from the S&L crisis. 

A small drop from the tank to the bowl every 30 seconds is barely detectible but can double water usage, in my experience.

And while they'd be happy to take over my better rentals, their charges start tanking my ROI.However, if you're finding long-distance SFHs and dupes at purchase prices low enough to afford hiring great teams to run them, while leaving you with good positive cash flow, then that's indeed good news for others who can't cash-flow within their own back yards.
