Fluffy here is a Rotweiler that is easily over 100 lbs.. My tenant has a 6 foot fence around the house to contain him, but when a thief tried to elude police by jumping out of the neighbor's back window, he was also contained - WITH FLUFFY! After a stop at the hospital, he was charged with a litany crimes while Fluffy recieved a letter from an MPD Captain.

Rather than use the two locks on the door, Theresa thought she would be safer propping a bar stool and a can of roofing tar against the door.


The following pictures are what stairs look like covered with 5 gallons of tar. Smart money says that I'll be keeping this security deposit.

When I saw the mobil taco wagon, I was amazed that someone would pay to have this painted on their business without being certain of the spelling...but then I thought that maybe "autentic" was Mexican for 'crappy food sold out of a trailer'.

Every month Leroy and I go to the duplex that Katie and her family live in to clean up the yard and alley. Like most Rent Assistance tenants, she is more indignant than appreciative. Filth surrounds this woman and she parks her car in her back yard.
She happened to be outside when I was leaving so I asked her why her place was always so filthy. She told me it was the neighbors upstairs. I responded that my cleaning routine predates the new tenants. She didn't have a comeback so I encouraged her to take a little pride in where she lived and then I left.




3 hours later, I get a text that says: "Don,t apprecated the way u talked to me don,t ever say anything to me again."


Really??? Suggesting that she "take a little pride in where you (she) live(s)" gets me the silent treatment for life? Imagine if I would have told this pugnacious malcontent that her place looks like the Augean Stable?


On a side note, there is $2 million a month spent on Rent Assistance in the City of Milwaukee.

The asking price on this southside Polish flat caught my attention and although I have rehabed projects like this in the past, I just don't have the time right now.
Copper/metal thieves broke into this place and looted everything they could. Notice the bottom picture where the romex was pulled through the wall. What amazes me is that if these morons worked for 3 hours for minimum wage they would have more money in their pockets than they did after this job.

I've had a CCW permit for a few weeks now. Yesterday, my landlord friend Joe asked me why I carry a .45. - I answered "Because they don't make a .46."

In an earlier post, I pleaded with baby momas to stop throwing dirty diapers in the front yard. At this time I'm also advocating that they not be flushed down the toilet.
