Looking for trouble

  Memorable car of the day:

 1941 Chrysler Newport, Is this dude cool or what?

For today:

I caught myself looking under the kitchen and vanity sinks today for leaks. Funny that, it is like insurance, it seems when I check there is never a leak, BUT FORGET and when you least expect it, someone will notice & say, “There is a leak under the sink!”

It is like the saying, “Has a battery ever gone dead at a GOOD time?”

I know it is good to check the plumbing every once in a while as well as the battery on the lawnmowers. MOST of the time nothing is needed.

Over our later life time we have had some rental properties. I cannot manage rentals I KNOW I am an easy touch so we have a manager. He charges 10% to handle troubles, collect and deposit our share.

We have only one rental at present. It normally pays the taxes and insurance plus maintenance on both ‘Condos’. These are condos, but until Sister Shirley leased this side, it was always a ‘Duplex’.  Something bugged Shirl about living in a duplex, but a condo? Yeah that is cool. LOL

 

My dog Ace, stands watch on this etrance to the condos.

Anyway, Mr. Hunter (manager) called to say there was a leak next door, estimate to fix……. $3,500!  WHAT? Shucks plumbing the whole house only costed $2000………. Don’t tell me, Sherry already reminded me that was 25 years ago. LOL

I will be looking for someone who can do it more reasonable, or I will do it myself.  I just hate to interrupt the renter’s lives while it is being done, this will be a few days job, possible 2 weeks.  That is a long time to have someone in and out of your house.
