How can tenants do so much damage? I have had houses for 27 years now, and have never wrecked a door, but holes in 4 of them? Domestic violence must be everywhere.

Wayne and I are just back from 9 days of major reno's on a trashed rental house. Major Smoke damage (seems they did not know to close the Kent fire door ), so scrubbing, 3 coats paint throughout, new doors , major cleanup etc etc. We also took the opportunity to level floors, pull out the kitchen, tiled 3 rooms, floating floors and new carpets (the floors were wrecked, and now so are we!).

It is looking great, but even though it was snowing about half an hour from us, we could not spare the time for photo's. So sad, because the snow clouds looked great from the verandah of the "torture house"

Hopefully after a couple more weekends work should be over for a little while, if we can get decent tenants, and we can take some more photo's.
