I purchased two Ring cameras that were on sale recently but a co-worker told me that Arlo would allow me to save recorded videos up to a week whereas I don't think that feature is available on Ring. Before I go and install two cameras and later regret it and want to switch to Arlo, I'd like to hear about what your thoughts are on what you use at home. Thanks. Ideally I'm looking to NOT pay anything per month and if I could have it save the video to a local NAS device instead so that I could save as much as I want while also being able to access it online even better. Ideally I could access recent stuff online for immediate review abilities but at home I could go back further.

Thinking of getting a cheap paint job on the old beater. Anyone have any suggestions on a dual action sander brand that they like using? Any other tips on removing peeling clear coat, bondo work etc. I've done a little bondo work in my high school days but I'm no expert. I just want to get the prep work done myself so that MAACO can hit it with a cheap paint job to last a few more years before I get a car that I really want.

Then you touched yourself with your eyes closed assuming it was a stranger’s hand didn’t you.

Holy shit how in the world did they live there. Must have been crack heads. I would want to be the kind of landlord that performs bi monthly inspections of the house. Can you write that into the lease?

Good resource. This is where I obtained a lot of information used to draft the letter.

For sure. And another reason why sending this letter will be great evidence. I also told them to put the mold in the inventory and condition form which they did. And the guy didn’t do anything about it yet or even mention it lol. They were waiting for test results but the form was due so they just stated visible mold or build up in vents and ducting. Lesson learned in their part but they should have mentioned this before renting and saved he head ache. They were in a rush though.

Thanks for the tips. I will relay them to them. I’m assuming the whole ozone thing would be unnecessary if the vents get professionally cleaned?

I’m not sure if they want to stay or not but as I stated above it’s less of a hassle and costly to stay. I’m assuming the guy will fix it either way. Moving means they will probably not get their deposit back just like the last people. Have to fight him to break the lease. Have to immediately pay another deposit elsewhere and first months rent. Rent another UHaul. It’s a lot of costs for someone who hasn’t even received their first check and who’s head is swirling from starting their first real job. They’ve already had to borrow several thousand dollars from my parents to get started. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Roger that, I will tell them to do just that. Although if he doesn’t budge after a phone call then I feel like the letter should immediately change from please clean this to you better allow us to break this lease and return the security deposit otherwise we are going to take you to small claims court and any fucking cough or lung issues we may have we are going to come after you to pay medically. Or maybe send that letter. Wait a month then jump to that kind of letter. Thus the clean request letter can serve as evidence if it does escalate to small claims issues. If he’s smart he’ll fucking pay the little $500 to clean it and even offer to pay the test fee on his own but I don’t think he is.

Especially if someone really is in the hospital for cancer and after that the next tenant moved out after two months due to this very reason and he didn’t give the deposit back and didn’t even fix the issue before renting again. If that’s true I want this guy to hurt a little. But not much they can do short of assuming the deposit is gone anyway so taking a fat dump on the carpet on the way out.

Breaking the lease won’t be easy. Prob lose the deposit. These guys are just starting their new jobs they can’t afford to do all that yet. They are both engineers at Lockheed now so they will be able to soon if they so desire but I would rather they just ask him to clean it and see what happens. IF he doesn’t want to then we apply the pressure referenced in the letter.

Something I’ve also kept in mind. I told them after this assume your security deposit is gone no matter what.

Yea the eaves. That tape and plastic combo is nice. I’ll also power wash them since they are dirty as fuck thus I don’t want the paint not adhering properly.

Just a landlord.

Would this work well for painting a garage door and all of the wood that is between the roof and brick on the exterior of the home? Don’t know what that shit is called. Mainly I don’t know if it sprays too wide and thus not ideal for such a small strip of wood (like a foot or less wide I think). Of course I assume I’d have to tape off the brick

This migraine sure does feel like I’m recovering from a hang over.

XXX XXX XXX@gmail.com (817) XXX-XXX Subject: Repair Request for property at XXXX, Aledo, TX 76008 Date: 4/01/2019 XXX XXX, On Friday, March 22, 2019, a Texas licensed mold assessment consultant was hired to conduct an inspection of the property due to a concern over visible mold growth found in and around the air ducts and vents. This was prompted from two neighbors giving us unsolicited feedback about the previous two tenants having left the home due to health concerns from potential black mold. One neighbor went as far as to say that the tenant before the last tenant was in the hospital with cancer. The consultant report states, “The HVAC system is grossly contaminated with visible fungal growth. Professional cleaning is required to be performed under Texas Mold Rules and Regulations provisions. A TDLR licensed mold remediation company is required to perform or oversee this job to reduce the risk of cross contamination of the home and all the contents inside of it.” Attached is the Limited Preliminary Water Impact, Microbial Inspection Report & Mold Remediation Protocol as provided by the consultant. In accordance with the lease and Texas Property code § 92.052 Landlord's Duty to Repair or Remedy, any condition that materially affects our physical health and safety should be repaired and paid for by you, the landlord. This letter serves as an official request to have to take the action proposed by the consultant and perform a full cleaning of the HVAC system to be paid in full by yourself, the landlord. Per Texas state-required disclosures a landlord must disclose the presence of environmental and health hazards including lead-based paint, mold, radon and bedbugs. Due to the fact that two neighbors approached us to inform us that the previous two tenants had left the home due to issues related to mold and one of them allegedly failing to recover their security deposit after leaving early due to this reason then it could be proven that you, the landlord, were aware of this issue yet the HVAC system appears to be untouched and uncleaned. Due to this failure to disclose this mold growth we would at least ask that in good-faith you provide a refund in the amount of $550 for the testing that was performed and paid for by us, the tenants. This could be in the form of a cash payment or deduction from the next month’s rent. Respectfully submitted, My little brothers

My brothers started renting a home in Aledo this month. Within the first week, two neighbors approached the and informed them that the past two tenants left the home due to health issues related to "black mold". They got it tested and it did not test positive for black mold but the A/C vents did have a lot of mold that needs to be addressed. I'm telling them to be smart about how they word their letter so the purpose of this post is for you guys to review this request from them and let me know if anything should be changed or if specific codes can be referenced where they aren't. Thanks!

I'm not too worried about the shingles not matching perfectly since it's been less than a year that this roof was redone. I'm more concerned about structural integrity and it not ever leaking in the distant future.

Well hopefully the reason that it's seemingly so cheap isn't that they are going to cut corners. I don't see how much money could be saved cutting corners on such a small job when all of the supplies are pretty cheap.

Had one local roofer in the neighborhood come by and his estimate was right along what you guys said: " I gave two options. The easiest would be to cover the hole with metal which would probably be good enough as long as nothing ever hit the hole directly. But the best fix would be to replace the decking. Roof: cover hole with metal and replace damaged shingles. $170. Roof: replace damaged decking, underlayment and shingles. $370" Then I got my second estimate from the roofing company who just replaced my roof less than a year ago and they only suggested the decking replacement type repair for $220. Now it seems too cheap based on the other data points but they might be hooking me up because I just gave them thousands of dollars for the roof repair and I'm a repeat customer. So of course being the cheap ass that I am im going with the guys who originally did my roof recently. They will easily have the matching shingles of course.

Thank you dear. Expected cost range?

Dad always fucking shit up trying to DIY

Also what is the proper repair? Would they cut out the plywood in a perfect circular shape and replace it with another piece of wood with that shape with some kind of adhesive on the perimeter?
