Yeah, I hear you on the slope. I’d rather have water running away a little too fast than see it seeping into the foundation. Had a tenant once who sta...

I get where you’re coming from, but honestly, I think there’s a point where manual cleaning can be more trouble than it’s worth—especially if you’re d...

That “old house smell” is a dead giveaway, isn’t it? I’ve had tenants swear up and down it’s just the age of the place, but every time I catch a whiff...

I hear you on the “big project, big payoff” thing. I’ve had to gut a couple of places over the years, and you’re right—sometimes you find more than yo...
