I am looking to install an affordable trim that is not wood.

@Nat Chan - This typically means that the drain pipe is either not installed correctly, or it is clogged.

Hello,I would like to put down laminate/wood flooring in one of the houses I own once the current tenants move out.The carpeting that is currently in place is on it's last leg, and the tenants have pets so I expect the condition upon their move out to require replacement anyways.My question is: may I use the portion of the security deposit that I would have used to purchase new carpeting towards the purchase/installation of laminate/wood flooring?

You will also have to install a chimney liner.  

Some of tools are used are subject to existing financing, lease purchase and lease options, installment sales, doing joint ventures with Sellars, and WholesalingNone of this requires any credit whatsoever 

Six months later I ended up with 3 of the 5 properties rented and most of the agreed upon work never completed, ie. carpet never installed, roof not finished and hardwood flooring not completed. 

Go to a big box store, buy off the shelf cabinets, have someone install them.

They are also simple to use and easily install like regular house locks.The biggest CONs are their durability and dependability.

(Slightly.)What is the worst DIY you've seen?

good question @Barshay Graves  ... i was a plumber many years ago and replaced a lot of galv. back then copper was the best option... these days pex pipe for water pipe is so easy to install plumbers are installing for less and makes a huge job of repipe not as much of a challenge. get your prices for waste and water replacement (pvc or abs pipe for waste)  (pex for water)  and shop around a bit.
