    landlord 101

    I would make the security deposit at least two times the rent. That way you are not holding the bag when they don't pay the last month rent, saying the security deposit will cover it. Then you have nothing to cover any damages. Remember if the tenant stops paying rent, and you give them notice...

One tree branch about 3 inches in dia laying in the front yard. Biggest issue was losing cell service untill about noontime. Don't know...

    Bait & Switch BS at Home Depot! (Caution! I'm still worked-up here...)

    I needed a new heat pump for my rental property. Went to several AC companies/supply stores. No one would sell to me, as I am not a licensed contractor (but I am a certified refrigeration/ AC tech . Wound up buying a unit from Lowes.com online, and they delivered it right to the jobsite, no...

    What is wrong with this picture?

    I don't have a problem wearing things that have advertising. I have a new O'Rielly's hat. It was a "freebee". What I object to is being charged to do the advertising, when I should be getting paid. As far as I'm concerned I am getting paid by O'Rielly's with the free hat.

    What is wrong with this picture?

    My big gripe is things like paying $25 for a $5 "T" shirt because it has venders/manufactures name on it. I'm not talking about an event or commemorate "T" shirt or hat. For example. Just go to Holly's web site and look at all the apparel for sale with the Holly logo. Holly should pay us an...

    What is wrong with this picture?

    A company needs to pay a fee to advertise on this site. If a company advertises on the radio or TV, they pay a fee to the station/network. So how come we, as consumers don't get paid for wearing caps, "T" shirts, etc. advertising for a company. Instead, we buy these items from said company(s)...

    Anyone ever use valve/lash tuning?

    With solid lifters I have used valve lash to adj the torque curve. Tighter to kill some bottom end, and looser to gain bottom end torque. But it is better to get the correct cam.

    Home HVAC cost?

    I installed a 3 1/2 tone heat pump package unit with aux heat strip, last fall in my rental. Problem in Florida, is if your not a contractor it is a ***** to get a unit or any parts locally. I bought my unit from Lowes On Line. The local store would not sell to me, but on line was fine and they...

    A904 transmission

    Looks like that is no longer available. Just tried to order two of them, from several places. I was able to place an order from the site that was linked (only site that didn't say not available) but they said backordered and late June estimated delivery. We shall see.

    Starrett got bought out?

    I remember when the Japanese started making/copying "measuring" tools. They were complete garbage. As time went on, they kept improving the quality. Now Mitutoyo is a brand that can compete with the best of them. I have many measuring tools. All are B&S, Starrett, or Mitutoyo. Yeah I have a few...

    How in HECK to you figure HP on a B&S engine?

    I have a 196 CC engine that is rated at 6.5 hp. Going to use it to build a "hybrid" handi cap scooter. The scooter uses two 12 volt lawn mower starter batters in series (24V), and doesn't have a lot of range. Going to couple the engine to a 24 volt GM alternator to keep the batteries charged up...

    Freind got a long-awaited phone call

    In most, if not all states it is illegal to sell a car without a title. However most states do have a method of obtaining a title, but it can be challenging and expensive. I have purchased vehicles without titles. I bought my 66 Valiant from a salvage yard with no title, just a bill of sale. It...

    Tracking USPS Signature Delivery mail- WTF???

    Just a FYI. You could have gone to your local branch of the same bank, and made a cash deposit into his account. No chance of the check getting misdirected. I have done this. Actually the depositor does not even need to have an account at the bank.

    Tracking USPS Signature Delivery mail- WTF???

    Every one on here is bitchin. I'll give an attaboy. Awhile back I ordered a bunch of slant six OEM head gaskets from a vendor in New Zealand. They arrived in great condition about 7 days after ordering by DHL. I really thought it would take several weeks considering the distance, and customs.

    Bumper Boyz... Stay Away!!!

    So you got one nice set from a company that bats about 10% good product. What would you do if you had gotten a typical (bad) pair. If the Bumper Boyz product is so good, why not buy from them?

    Stop in for a cup of coffee

    Morning. Worked on the cooling system on my D-100, yesterday. Looks like the radiator is partially plugged. Seems like no one has one available. Local rad shop wants $100 to rod it out and if any tubes open up then more money to repair. Guess I will call Champion and see how much extra they will...
