Among the many things I did to pay the bills while going to school was
helping a guy make his rentals habitable again after renters had been
evicted. It was the most disgusting job I have ever held.

Among the more choice renters were:

The guy who would lie in bed and shoot at flies on the ceiling with his
9mm Browning (he was proud of his accuracy and his shooter; the cops were
not so impressed).

The sunlight streaming through all the bullet holes in the ceiling and
roof made for interesting effects.

The family that kept a rather large dog in one bedroom at all times.

Step 1: Carry out about 300lb of dog crap.

Step 2: Replace the whole floor.

I replaced lots of pissed on floors that were totally rotted out from
all the piss. I guess the IQ of the average renter is below that required
to hit the toilet.

Tell me how wonderful renters are.
