I want to add this:The big national name brand franchises that do tons of advertising nationwide might be worth investing in the name.However, your run of the mill franchise charges a lot of money for not much in return, and it is often very easy and more profitable to use their idea, start your own business without them, and pay for your own advertising.

During our 2 hr. drive from port, I saw where many of our American brands are now made.

Beautiful Brand New commercial buildings completely empty, kind of eerie!

Okay, I'm brand new here, go easy.

Hello Everyone, I'm brand new at this but have read and research enough I'm ready to jump in.

I bought a Defiant brand 5 pin deadbolt (keyed on one side) at HD for $10, but I was just researching online and it was recommended only to use 6 or 7 pin locks because 5 pins can be picked, so I'll probably be returning it.I've looked at the Landlord locks website.

Bad thermostat costs a couple of bucks, remove one screw, change the sensor, and replace the screw.It's possible that the only thing wrong with your stove is that the tenant wanted a brand new one.

Given that this is a commercial building, and that I've been told that those usually have a stricter treatment with building codes, I would expect to need a permit for this work.Be sure that the price differences among the different quotes that you got are strictly a result of labor and brand differences; you don't want to underpay for an undersized system (just as you don't want to overpay for an oversized system either).

The better adjustments come from new roofs and or wiring, these bring the house closer to brand new.

All forms of advertising and branding require that you are consistent.
