How long do you wait for invoice approval on an empty rental??

[Mikey P]

I'm at a VRBO unit at Tahoe. When I last talked to the guy on Friday is only concerned as would it be dry enough for a new renter to come in on Wednesday.

The estimate for four bedrooms, three staircases and five pieces of furniture $720 and there ain't no way I'm getting started before I receive payment from this first time customer.


I prepped the house and we'll start vacuuming but if I don't hear from him by 11:30 I'm out of here, what would you do?

If it's a new client who is not going to be there, I usually take a visa payment over the phone or e-transfer.

 

[Mikey P]

Well thank God, an hour late but he finally called and approved it

Idiot

So were they unable to remove the complete stick from yor azz? Or are you just upset because you miss it?

 

[Mikey P]

It wouldn't you know it, all the outside fixtures don't work....

 

[hogjowl]

Put that spotting towel over the faucet spout.
If the hose comes loose a little (and it can believe it or not) you won't be spraying water across the floor unknowingly for an hour.
It'll hit the towel and dribble into sink

no washing machine hook-up?
Much safer than faucet hook-up

..L.T.A.

Oh shut up

Nope

Nope

where do tenants do their laundry?
a coin operated community room?
In the same machine some padder washes their scummy pads

..L.T.A.

Hey Fred
Lee’s rolling his eyes again

 

[Lee Stockwell]

That particular faucet will sometimes leak internally when pressurized, and the water will go back and UNDER the fixture. A pretty good leak even when the washers are intact. Not a problem in routine use.

About 1 in 20 have this casting flaw.

 

[hogjowl]

Interesting

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Once pressurized just check under the cabinet for leaks, drips.

 

[Kenny Hayes]

Now we need water with us.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Carrying your own water saves a lot of hassle.

Don't tell me how difficult you think it is, you'd be wrong.

 

[hogjowl]

Only Larry does that

 

[Dolly Llama]

it's not a tighten tight fitting --it's just snugged as it should be
cycles between pressurized when water box is full, and unpressurized when filling can cause it to loosen enough to dribble or fine spray

and any hose hook up inside or out you should crimp the hose to check if back pressure holds.
If you do that, you'll never flood the walls or basement from a frozen broke hose bib.
Like I know some of you have....

It ain't rocket surgery, but it helps if you have a little common sense

not me, wished I'd of had room for on board water

They had one of those stackable towers wedged into a cubby hole that would involve moving The combined machines 4 ft out to reach the faucet, he had. No thanks

Facepalm this

have your account figure out how much it's costing you to run around with all that water and wear and tear

little to nothing in my experience.

 

[hogjowl]

It would be a budget buster for Mikey
