However, in hind-sight many of the losses could have been avoided by heeding the conservative words of advice of Jon Holdman, Wil Barnard, or Bryan Hancock to name a few (there are many of you out there whom could easily have been named).

If you don't pay, they can place a lien on your property and they may have the ability to foreclose.Your best bet may be to get the stuff totally out of sight.

I have one in a small house in rural MO where the choice is either propane or electric (or wood or pellets).

In my neck of the woods, a condo is like HIV!

IMO I would watch out for wood frame homes., concrete is the way to go here.

Ceramic tile, laminate, and hard woods are best.

The people who can afford my rates are usually homeowners themselves and so far, have taken care of my stuff (knock on wood)The current tenants would be looking at a rent increase of the corporate rate minus utilities and furniture housewares and appliances depreciation.I guess I could give them that option, but I appreciate the hard line approach.

Primary for durability (oak) cause it doesnt ding and dent like soft wood,,,and 6 panel is LESS prone to fist damage/holesIf I were going to paint white maybe a 6 panel pine door would be just as effective and a little cheaper.What style of door and 'trim' is in style these days?????

Also, the nail holes on MDF won't close up as nicely as wood... no amount of caulk will solve it.

Was thinking plexiglass but size width is limiting factor unless I seam it or put wood extension next to house first then plexi.
