it wasn't until i moved to arizona that i found out you can actually get your security deposit back. i there is a non refundable cleaning deposit 75-100 dollars or so tho. i had a landlord literally hunt me down to send me my deposit of 250 dollars one time. after that i rented a couple of more times and never needed a deposit.

Years ago ibsued my landlord for withholding the security deposit and won triple damages.

I'd just do it. If the landlord has enough properties they probably wouldn't even notice.

And these things are awesome- much better than normal metal toggle bolts.

My parents owned a rental property for years and always gave the security deposit back except for one time where the people basically trashed the place.

Those do look pretty good. I guess while you're here, bucky...I can't really tell what material the wall is (I'm a noob). Would I be fine using these on plaster or drywall? It's odd...some of it feels pretty hollow when I knock like a drywall would but some feels pretty solid. If I'm good either way then I don't really need to worry about it but I don't know what materials would be a no-no to drill/anchor into.

in state college i had some inflated charges against me and took matters into my own hands, literally, and made sure i felt i got my monies worth. it was kind of funny that they never repaired the so-called damage for the next tenant which was actually me again. i did receive some of the next deposit back the second time. it was like 100 dollars or so. really odd situation i was in up there.

Yesterday, I was standing in line to get lunch and was wearing my Phillies hat. There was a father and son (probably 5 or 6) in front of me. The dad sees my hat and comments on it and says they’re both Phillies fans and watch all the games yada yada. I ask the kid who his favorite Phillie is.

His answer…































Murph!


They met him at a game and Murph gave the kid a shirt, so there ya go.

andy musser was my favorite, not player mind you, when i was a kid and into adulthood. he got me a juan samuel signed baseball! he was genuinely a real good person, who never really got the respect he deserved here. i ran into him in my early 20's and really thanked him and told him i loved all the work i did. i can't stress this enough, he was good people.

You *should* be OK, depending on the exact construction. There's some really old plaster (like my house) that doesn't take well to drilling- it just chunks off in pieces. Best, of course, is to find a stud (/PiP) and mount to them, assuming that you can center your cabinet in that scenario.

My studfinder just went bonkers when I ran it. Possible it can't probe deep enough (/PiP).

prolly plaster & lathe

in that case you would use a magnetic stud finder and hope to find where the lathe is nailed to the studs

Ah, yeah you are probably right.
