Some of you who never troweled concrete or scooped JC out of a bucket or dipped a brush in a can of polyurethane act like your rental properties are harem virgins, and there are plenty of judges who don't know the first thing about property maintenance who are perfectly willing to back up any silly claim as long as a contractor submits an invoice.You don't know what you don't know if you don't investigate.

Regarding bear: there was a case last summer of a fishing guide in AK who got charged in dense brush by a Grizz and was able to stop it with a few rounds from a pocket 9 using +P, point blank so its possible although not recommended (12 gauge with slugs, 30.06, .454 etc would be better obviously, but a .9 in the pocket is better than a bazooka in the truck). 

Don't just brush over negative reviews without looking into them.

Primer, paint, trim paint, ceiling paint, basement paint, brush/rollers/trays, Caulk/Sealant and Misc.Or my example house this came in at $1,100.00.11.) 

@Chris Youssi Hey.. don't paint all of us with that same broad California brush!

I'm not interested in brushing them off or telling them to buy it themselves, but also not interested in letting them out of the lease.

Even with the pro nylon brush on a high speed drill.

That's a broad brush, I know - but in general I think people chasing more yield are finding that they have to tread more carefully lately.

Because the guy I was talking to kinda seemed like a jerk, like IDK if he thought I was lying or what but he could use some brushing up in customer service

If you buy a property with chrome or brass fixtures, you can easily change to either brushed nickel or Oil rubbed bronze with the appropriate colored metallic spray paint.
