Even though THIS thread is a year old, how long will it now take for these changes to circulate?...

I'm certainly not going to freely hand out information that took me years to compile and is a constant ongoing process - good contractors go bad all the time. 

Who here would accept "Big Jeff" from upstairs stopping by during dinner, heading to your bathroom and allowing the smell to flow freely over your mashed potatoes?

I freely admit I know just enough to be a danger to myself, but I am a very good student, so please be patient with me.Thanks!

My Whys-To be able travel freely-To spend quality time with my wife, and family. 

I am extremely impressed with how organized, positive, and open the BP community seems to be and I am eager to continue to learn from all the freely shared wisdom.

I wouldn't separate the utilities but I would try to save some water cost by adding a hot water circulating pump to the hot water heater...that basically makes it so when they turn on the hot water it's instantly hot instead of having to wait a minute for it to get hot....another benefit of the hot water circulating pump is that it helps prevent pipes from freezing in the winter, turn off the outside spigot so people can't steal water, have a plumber go through the 4 plex and look for leaks and replace any toilet flaps...replace any toilets that are water hogs.
