I have bought lawnmowers, build sheds, supplied clippers, bags, and everything you can imagine including HD gift cards to get necessary items, and NO tenant has EVER lifted a finger.

And as far as labor goes, the best installers/contractors would not work through HD/Lowes.

I always felt a little strange pulling it out to swap contact details in front of tenants who had the latest iPhone.All of my tenants have flashy big screen HD TVs.

Fridge is usually considered personal property here.Kitchen counters - I priced a pre-fab faux granite formica counter with end caps for under $150 at HD.

I'm thinking the labor cost saved could justify a $360 airless sprayer from HD.

I can't say enough good things about the "Fluidmaster" toilet kits that both Lowes and HD sell.

Your best deals will not be at Lowe's or HD, but your neighborhood flooring store.

If you want to save a ton of money on doorknobs, fixtures and other hardware, stay as far away from HD and Lowes as you can and shop on eBay.

i have one of those flex lines that is normally used for the dryer that's used for the bath exhaust fan. and sure enough, once a year (winter) it gets clogged with water since there is a dip in the pipe.if they go straight up or have no kinks, they are ok to be used for bath air (that has moisture). but with kinks, it builds up. so i just changed it to solid alum pipe (2 ft sections sold at HD) and will never have a problem again.so, depends on what you have. you might have AC unit in there and that's why it's dripping.
