Being a landlord.....

Being a landlord means...
* you have to depend on someone else to take care of your property
* even when you think you have some extra money and can start x mas shopping a little early everything can change with one little phone call.
* spending money you don't have nor want to spend on a place you don't even want to own anymore.
uhhhgggggggggggggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so frustrated right now! Our renters happened to mention (last week) that despite a $200 electric bill the house doesn't ever seem to warm up nor cool in the summer. (I wish they would have mentioned it sooner) So we had someone take a look at the ducting under the house. Needless to say it was torn and broken by rodents (downside to having an empty house for 4 months this spring while trying to get it sold.) Okay so how much to fix it, I asked.
$3200 for galvanized ducting so they can't chew threw it. WHAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTT? Thats more than they (same company) charged us to replace the furnace/ airconditioner and put in some new ducting 4 yrs ago. I want to cry and scream at the same time!!!!!!!!!!!!!
