Let us know how it goes. It also links to a longer video with more details if that is helpful.

He just half ass sanded the one he didn’t want to look good.

Nah, they all look just fine...at least a month later. I did not show the whole process in the short. More footage in the full video.

They didn't have that kind at Lowes. And if I need to access it, I can just unscrew the nut.

We did it only once and let it sit there since it was vacant.

Great tip! Thanks for sharing. Luckily, they have not been back since. But that would be a great thing to try if it was not vacant.

Thanks for the tip!

Great idea, the car wash will get it super clean!

LOL!

Doesn’t mean people won’t smoke regardless

@@JuneNafziger yea but then you can take them to court for extra damages, it'll take a while but you might atleast break even.

Yes to what both of you said. We just bought this building (a 4-plex) and inherited the 4 tenants, all long-term, all pay rent on time (can't complain about that!), but unfortunately all chain smoke. Our plan when we bought it was to let the tenants all stay as long as they wanted with just some small rent increases (all well below market value for the last 10 years) and transition each unit to non-smoking as they become available. But I think it will be a tough transition as getting a non-smoker in there surrounded by smokers may not be very palatable for the new tenant. Some have suggested just embracing the smokers and keeping it a smoking building. There is merit to that argument for sure. But the more elbow grease we put into this unit (and eventually the others) it will be hard to just turn it over to another smoker and let all the damage happen again.

@@PartnersinDIY just explain to new tenants that they are grandfathered in from a previous landlord and your hoping to cycle them out for non smokers or outside smokers when they decide to move, having smokers in the house sucks, my stepfather chain smokes and its nasty having to clean up after him, ashes everywhere, burn holes in fabrics, and that smell didn't leave for months aslong as you can be understanding and they have an outdoor roofed area to smoke at it shouldnt be a problem to get them outside for the 2-5min they take to smoke

@@garrettb4783 Thanks for the tip!

It's more about sharing the scene than complaining about cleaning up ourselves. We bought this property fully expecting these duties. Not really net positive income if you hire out every job. Professionals just way overcharge you and don't always do the best job, esp. since the pandemic. Would rather put the hard work in to have it done thoroughly. And yes, definitely not passive...

You sound like you need to be smacked

or just go smoke outside and have respect for whats not yours, but hey thats what a security deposits for, right?

A bad combination of never cleaning and chain smoking...

Ha! True, but I think cash for keys is pretty well known already. We would have paid more to get him out...so much better than waiting for the eviction timeline.

Yes, we live in one of the worst states to be a landlord, unfortunately. That sounds pretty amazing!

Huh. Interesting idea. Probably wouldn't hold up in court though.

@@PartnersinDIY then your guy calls the police to remove the trespassers no longer a squtter

Yeah, I think it helps the right people some time but probably does way more harm to good landlords than bad ones. Thanks for the comment.

No. Squatters are based. There are no good landlords however

Yeah our state is particularly hard on landlords. Some of that is warranted for sure but in the case of squatters it’s either pay an attorney for months on end while the legal system plods along slowly or pay off the squatter. This was definitely the cheaper route. We also stayed very professional with him through the whole process which probably made dealing with him directly more successful. That is certainly not always possible though!

The rollercoaster that is UA-cam...

Haha, yes! But probably best it didn't happen.

Wow! Thank you for sharing that and I am so sorry you experienced it! Fleas are the worst! Honestly vacuuming was a huge key to our success and it helped that no one was living there. Good luck to your family!

Glad it helped!

Thanks for sharing! I have always thought of this as bacteria. This short gives some detailed info ua-cam.com/users/shortsDkUawS948s4. But there are probably a few orange/pink scummy things to be found in the shower 🤣

@@PartnersinDIY I'm in Florida so we got them all!

@@PartnersinDIY oh, thank you for sharing! That is very pink, i recognize that. We get one that is more coral/orangey (not as dark as rust), which ppl will warn againts as red mold--super bad for respiratory issues. Sprays kill that too.

Oh interesting! I guess the shower needs a whole arsenal to keep it clean LOL!

Thanks for the info!

Yup, we collected all the chips on tarps. We did all the scraping with hand scrapers (no sanding) so not much dust. We did not get it wet. Good idea!

LOL! Yes and we didn't even show the two cell-like rooms down there that lock from the outside. It's creepy.

@@PartnersinDIY i hope you finish it soon

@@thenightgamer4k Thank you!

@@PartnersinDIY i love spreading kindness

Awesome! So glad to help!

Awesome, glad that was helpful!

I think either will work. It has been a couple months since I cleaned this particular handle and it is still clear and shiny :)

@@PartnersinDIY oh okay thank you! & i appreciate that update!

Yeah I noticed it started coming off on its own but in some areas you needed the scrubbing inside the handle and especially on the white plastic pieces which is more porous.

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thanks!

You bet!

You are awesome! Thanks.

Yes, exactly.
