Me personally? Maybe 3x per year max. Once for sure, probably twice. Drive by probably 5x or maybe more. A representative of me? Quarterly at minimum. 3x in first 3 months if they have an animal.

I use the Toto exclusively now. Could flush a loaf of gluten free bread I’d say. Not cheap, but these are long term holds. I replace flappers at 4-5 years regardless of if they’re leaking. They’ve got about a 5 year lifetime generally, why wait for it to warp & leak it’s $4.

When given the option between place your testicles in a vice or not, choose wisely young grasshopper.

Yep, mine was my grandpas, probably bought at a farm auction for $1... old as dirt, loud as a diesel, works like a charm. Swap the Diablo blade between that and the small mitre all the time!

How rad would it be if the app didn’t crash every time you tried to tag someone? ... anyway, Johann spotted a good point, tools are a category with a massive range of quality. For rarely used things, you probably don’t need to break the bank. Search reviews on brands before you rob the kids’ college fund. YouTube is great for reviews these days too!

Call Barry Maguire at Ritchie Mill law office out of Edmonton,(not affiliated at all, just know his background and have heard him speak many times through REIN) ... he’s done hundreds of these for REIN members across the country.

Michael nailed it. Supplies needed: a 4-8’ extension pole. Buy a good one. Decent roller refills (microfibre, don’t cheap out), tray & liners, 5in1 tool, 6” putty knife/ scraper, good caulking gun, generally clear caulk, but good tape (frog tape almost always but 3m has some good stuff too), good 4” roller to start w baseboards, Buy a 7” dual bevel sliding mitre for baseboards. So much nicer than carting around a 12” or even 10”. Electric brad nailers eliminate the noisy compressor drowning out your easy listening radio. Something with rechargeable batteries works well usually. Decent flooring cutters are $100 all day long. And I much prefer a cutter than a saw or razor knife (LVP) for floors. Grab a decent flat trowel for floating when needed. Eventually, a small airless sprayer might be in the cards if you do a lot of painting. 515 / 517 tips cover almost all needs until you get good. Enjoy the sweat equity!

Labour for install looks very high to me... I just paid $250 for 660 sq ft install that required some feathering/ floating... flooring guys are a dime a dozen. LVP. But I wouldn’t be basing the decision on a tenant request unless it’s clearly expired it useful lifetime. The list of tenant requests can get pretty long if you start granting all of them...

He k out Barry Maguire in Edmonton. He’s a lawyer who does training in this. One of the best for sure
