Saturday, Oct 30 - we dropped by the 8 plex to put a new chain on the toilet flapper in #1, put a lockbox on #6 so Kevin can replace the broken kitchen window, and check the boiler and hot water heater for #7 & #8. In checking the water heater I discovered the bathtub faucet wouldn't turn off - Yikes! So, just turn the water off to the tub! Yea, right. There isn't a shut-off for the tub. Diego to the rescue. He finally go the water turned off. We'll handle that later.
The tenant in #2 feels unsafe and wants deadbolts because they lost their keys, had the locks rekeyed, left the door unlocked and thinks someone went into their apartment. Is that our problem? We decided it wasn't. They can call the property manager and pay for deadbolts if they want them.
Off to the 4 plex to deliver a snow shovel to the tenant in #103 who volunteered to do snow duty this winter. Someone wanted in and punched holes in the hollow-core front door. Good grief. So, we were off to Home Depot to buy a new steel front door.
The current plan is for Diego to take off work early Tuesday to install the door in #103.
