Dis Old Fogies Clubhouse – Six of One, Half Dozen of the Other. Makes No Difference!

That really sucks. We try to fix anything within 1-2 days of the tenant reporting it. The only exception is when they report it at 4 PM on a Friday. Then it costs double or triple to fix anything so we try to take care of t the following Monday. We keep our places in pretty good shape so fixed aren't a big deal. Keeps costs down overall.

We actually have soft spots in our floor that we reported about three weeks ago. One of them was a spot by the kitchen door, where I put my heel through. The floor under the living room radiator is disintegrating. And they haven't sent anyone out about it. He's complaining about that again tomorrow.

I wish they had your view on it, but they don't seem to give a fudge.

That sucks. We only have 11 units but we have been systematically refurbishing them as they come vacant so that they have brand new granite countertops, tile floors in the kitchen and bath and mostly hardwood floors. One of our buildings never had hardwood floors and we can't afford to put them in. But in all the places that had thhem we are restoring them. In our house that we moved out of we haven't decided what to do re flooring, but they will be totally remodeled. The cats destroyed the kitchen cabinets with their marking, so it will be gorgeous when the contractor is done. We want good tenants so we make sure that our units are nice enough to get good tenants.

So sorry, Dana. I hope the owners do something about it.

Good evening Fogies.

Sac Anime is now over and it will be another 8 months until the next Sac Anime during Labor Day weekend. The last day turned out better than the first two days for me. Luckily Sunday was better than Friday and Saturday combine for me.

Sorry the sales are low Bret.

Hope your sales are better today Bret.

Thanks everyone. Today was a better day for sales than the other days since I sold a lot during Sac Anime today.

Good luck on getting some good fares. I hate arriving too late at night. We haven't paid for a flight to WDW in years, I don't even know what the prices are. We paid for our flight to Seattle, but that was the first one since probably 2008, and even then we just paid for it because Fran had just got out of the hospital in Texas and wanted to go home THAT day.

It will be a while until SWA days are available for October 2015. Just waiting to see if there are any good deals online. Just like you Alison, I don't want to arrive late to Florida since I plan to do some errands until we enjoy our vacation.


So sorry Dana. Hope everything turns out better for you.

 

[PrincessInOz]

Glad you had a good day today, Bret.

Life returns to normal tomorrow with a return to work. It's been a great break and I wish I had one more week. But I think I'm ready to head back. It's definitely time.

 

[ACDSNY]

Dana, stay as warm as you can under the circumstances.



I'm glad your sales were up on the last day Bret.



Welcome back to reality PIO.



I'm sure all renters wish their landlord was more like Fran and Alison.

DF threw a fit this morning at the leasing office, so they finally sent the maintenance guy to take a look at it. He didn't fix anything, but then a couple hours ago, he came back with the boiler repair guy and he replaced all of the vents on the radiators, so how they're running! Yay.

Happy dance time. Let there be warmth.

 

[DisneyFirefly]

Indeed! It's nice to be sitting here on the couch without a blanket and not be freezing.

Thanks PiO. It was a long day yesterday and glad it went well.

We are all back in reality with work again.

I'm glad your sales were up on the last day Bret.

Thanks Angela. Yesterday was way better than those first two days. Glad it turned out really well.

Here are some pictures from Sac Anime this past weekend.

Even there were people dressed up as Disney characters.

Yay! I'm glad they fixed your heater. I just heard from one of our tenants over the weekend that they never got their heater in the bathroom fixed from a couple months ago, but evidently every time our guys went by there, they weren't able to let them in. Stupid tenants. they have to let our people in, as they have made every attempt to fix their stuff. But if they can't let them in, we can't fix their stuff especially when they have locks that we have no keys to. That is a bad thing.

Fogies have been busy with back to work!

Pretty soon, I'm going to actually have to go back to work. Gale is going to finish up with the 1st street property soon and then Darcy and I will have to go clean the place, put up window treatments and get it move in ready.

Ugh! Then it's get the crap out of our old house, so they can start working on it. We've been dragging our feet on that, but it needs to happen now ASAP!

 

[PrincessInOz]

My brain hurts after 2 days of work.

Angela - Reality is hard to take this week.

Bret - Nice pictures of SacAnime.

Dana - YAY for heat!

Alison - Hope that clearing out the old place doesn't take a lot of time.

Good morning

Dana get a copy of the rules for the rental guidelines of the city it will tell you what they need to fix asap. Then they can not argue with it. I am glad they are starting to fix your issue.
I hear you on some things Alison, some tenant had a fan and we could not retrieve it until we can get them to open the door. Fans are money, and when we are short fans to use you just can't go out and buy one. They are very costly.

Pictures are great Bret and glad you got sales.

PIO, it is hard to go back to work.

Angela how is work after you have been back?

 

[ACDSNY]

Lunch time fly by. Work is busy, but good. I'm working with a new member of our team to bring him up to speed on the program.

Catch you later.
