Better to let the tenant supply their own. A used set is cheap. Being a successful landlord is about limiting risk, which includes expenses like repairs. I have to agree, I don't need much but a washer and dryer is one thing that would be a deal breaker for me. It will also help reduce your turnover on tenants saving additional money to help repay for the installation.
I agree with Nathan G. It will just be two water lines that tie into your already existing water lines, a drain tied into your already existing drain pipes or even into a dry well depending on your laws , a volt electrical line to be added for the dryer and a cutout for the dryer vent.
I would try contacting an electrician and a plumber separately and get a quote for dryer electrical hookup and the plumbers quote to tie in the new lines. Richard Paul Weisman I would for sure add the hook ups into the main house.
Laundry is very important to most renters. Sucks spending the money now, but long term it will for sure be worth it.

This photograph shows what remained of the Blacksmith shop many years after Levi Shaw had managed it on the east side of the river in the closing decades of the 19th century.
It was located right near the old bridge. This is a handwritten receipt by Levi Shaw stating that he sold an anvil, bellows and drilling machine and other smaller tools in the Shaker Blacksmith shop to J.
Nearly a century after it was built, the old Shaker barn as it appeared midth century, without the cupolas, which were removed in The early roads of Windsor were composed mostly of dirt. They were at their worst during mud season and whenever there was a good rainfall.
Wooden planks were placed across Main Street in the Village for shoppers and pedestrians. Most transportation was horse-driven and what kind of buggy or carriage you rode in mattered. And everyone at one time or other rode the Windsor Stagecoach into the big city of Binghamton. This is a great photo of the intersection of Chapel and Main Streets in the Village around Roberts Store, which was to the right of the store seen here in the right foreground, promptly at 7 a.
A half-hour stop was made in West Windsor to pick up and drop off mail. Hot soapstone and bricks provided heat for passengers in the winter time.
This is one of a very few photos we have of the old Windsor Stagecoach, which made the 3-hour trip into Binghamton and back every day. As you can see, it was a popular form of transportation before the invention of the car. In the photo are: on top l. The driver was Ed Simpkins. Does that road look familiar to anyone? Here is Anson Valentine standing with unidentified friends in front of the Windsor Inn. Several Colesville people at the meeting said they remembered going to movies there.
The Windsor Town Hall was built at the beginning of the 20th century. The idea was conceived by Dr. Isaac C. They knew what they wanted; a Town and Village Hall that would serve the community in many ways other than being the site of local government. It took up the entire back of the building and was two stories high. Many performances took place there over the decades from opera and classical music to plays and musicals.
The late Joan Hughes Edwards was a ticket girl for the theater when she was a teenager in the s. She also said there was a dark narrow stairway that led up to the balcony and projection room of the movie theater. As you can see, it was open six days a week and offered something for everyone.
The elegant opera chairs were gifted by Village resident Virginia Morley. Those are gas lights on the stage floor in front. This play took place in the Town Hall on August 11, and is from the collection of Richard Elliot. With a little digging, we might discover more.
Having a theater as fine as this one in the community meant there was always good local entertainment. Often times, the frame around the photo was ornately drawn. This is Taber V. He served in the office from to French of Court St. The Junior Choir photograph was taken at Dr. The group photo was taken in front of the side porch.
It looks completely different now without the wrap-around porch, which was removed in Shortly after that date, a fireplace with a large chimney was installed on the front of the ca. It was built in on the site where the Windsor Fire Station is today. It was demolished in , after having served as a location for American Legion Post meetings and for Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church services.
Here we have the Junior Choir of the Windsor Presbyterian Church under the leadership of Ione Armstrong, pictured sitting in the front center with her husband Dr. William C. Armstrong, a much-loved physician and surgeon who served the Village and outlining communities from to just before he died in And yes, we know who these young people are. Ione Armstrong was a gifted vocal and piano teacher, which she generously shared with the Windsor community.
There were times when some monies were needed for roads, and this was raised by tax. However, taxes were very low, sometimes a matter of only cents. Remember, money was very scarce during this time period and much bartering was still going on in business transaction. And the condition of many of the local dirt roads was sufficient enough for horse-pulled wagons and carriages.
At the beginning of the 20 th century, the switch was made to a money system. The accompanying photographs were taken in when the macadam road over Tuscarora Mtn. A Bucirus steam shovel was used to build a macadam road over Tuscarora Mt. Steam tractors pulled loads of stone up Tuscarora Mt. Stone was dumped in a hole in the center of the photo between the stovepipe and conveyor belt.
The pile in front of the stovepipe was probably cord wood that was burned in the furnace to create steam to drive the crusher. Many of them were part of a state road crew brought in to construct the road. The presence of children in the photo indicates that perhaps local men were employed as well.
Somewhere around 30 horses were brought up from New York City to do the work of hauling wagon loads of crushed stone needed in building the road over Tuscarora Mtn. Harpur Family Descendant Visits St. Several weeks ago, I got a phone call from a man named Roger Bonner asking if he could tour St. An appointment was arranged, but before we hung up, he informed me of the reason he was so interested in touring the museum.
He spent several hours at St. While he was recording some of that history, I looked in the library files and found a folder on Robert Harper Jr. Better still, I found an old photo taken from a tintype of Robert G. Harpur, son of Robert Harpur Jr. Ella was born in and married Oliver Sampson. They had a daughter Aletta who married into the Bonner family.
What a treat to discover this connection between past and present Harpur family members. Hopefully, there will be more to come. Pictured above is Roger S. Bonner visiting our Museum at St. Pictured are l. The remaining people were not identified.
Charles Decker, the late Town of Afton Historian, would have loved this picture. Daisy Hurd was his beloved grandmother. Photo above of Robert G. Harpur standing in back with his wife Jane Northrup Harpur. Seated on the right is their daughter Ella Harpur Sampson. Looks like a lot of fun. All of these boats brought many people to Windsor and did a lot to promote the beauty of the area. The scene however captures the allure of the river valley to boaters and others.
At the time the picture was taken, hotels were a part of most communities along the river here, making it a popular tourist spot. This postcard picture says Columbian Grove, N. In , a group from Susquehanna purchased land from John Hupman along the west bank of the river and established a summer resort. More land was acquired and eventually 10 to 12 cottages were built, along with a small hotel. The river meanders from mid-right of photo into the background. The people in the picture are unfortunately not identified.
This photograph of the Big Island below the Village of Windsor was taken by Julian Campbell, a gifted Binghamton photographer who took hundreds of pictures along the Susquehanna River from Bainbridge down into Pennsylvania for the picture postcard business. The view is facing south from the east side of the river. Typical of the early 20th century, there are few trees anywhere except toward the tops of the surrounding hills. Douglas maintained the business until Note how boys were dressed back in the old days.
William Waller posing in this old-time postcard with this son Donald W. William Waller was president of the Village of Windsor in This well-dressed woman was Mrs. The postcard back says her maiden name was Ione Slocum, and that she was sisters with Bea Slocum Hulbert. Only the girl identified by name is Sarah front right. Note the caps and gloves. Caps might have been the style back then, but what were the long gloves for? According to the back of the postcard, Harry ran a cigar store in the Village of Windsor in the early 20th century.
Many old postcards had this oval-framing of the photo. That looks like the Tuscarora Creek in the foreground. They were hidden away at the back of the bottom drawer of an old filing cabinet in the historical library at St. One folder contained people pictures from the Village of Windsor, almost all of which I had never seen before.
And, thankfully, they were all identified on the back. There are more than three dozen pictures, some of them shown here. We will share all of them on the website this spring in installments. Hope you enjoy them as much as I have. This is cat lover Maude Knapp before she became Mrs. Delmar Smith. The postcard says the house in the picture was above the train depot.
Hanging on the porch right behind her is an old-fashioned rug beater. Note the admiring older woman to the right her mother perhaps. Most of the people in this picture postcard were members of the Tompkins back row left and Benedict front row and middle of back row families living in the Village. The woman in black on the far right was Amy Elliott Warner, who was in mourning over the loss of her husband Marvin Warner.
This view of lower Main Street looking north shows the front of the Eagle Hotel on the right. Quick poses far right with the group in the middle of the dirt road. Much has changed over the years and that part of the Village looks very different today. According to the back of this photo, the young man pictured is N. Stillson, no doubt related to Dr. Austin J. Stillson, who practiced in Windsor for 56 years from until his death in Many people back in the very early 20th century had horses, and some even raced them.
He was the son of Joseph Wheeler, a prominent resident involved for many years in the whip-making business in the Village. Note the shaving mugs up on the wall.
I wonder if the kids got a no-school snow day out of that snowfall. Horse-drawn carriages and wagons were the only vehicles on the dirt road that was Main St. Here are from left Mrs. A formal postcard picture of Simon P. Quick was not only the proprietor of this well-known hotel, he worked with other village resident to bring a water system to the Village. The first fire company in the Village was named the S. Quick Hose Company, No. Young Windsor men like Rubert sic Beebe and Willis Smith dressed well in the formal clothing of the time.
Bowler hats were the rage back then. Note both are smoking cigars, the only tobacco product allowed in public in the Village at the time. The Town took pride in having such an accomplished band throughout the many decades it existed. Windsor boys down by the river on a hot summer day.
The back of this delightful postcard says that this young girl was most likely Lyda Stevens. No name was given for her pet duck.
The front of the house was built in the s or s, while the back was built prior Like many village houses, this house is the Greek Revival style. It was built in in the Greek Revival style. When the Coburn Whip Co. Quick and his family lived in this house on the corner of Grove St. He was a much beloved citizen of Windsor who was instrumental in providing the water works for the Village.

The women pictured are Etta Simpson in the foreground and her mother. Stillson and his wife lived in this house in the early s. It was built in and is located on the west side of Main St. Stillson maintained his medical practice.
After the bottom is dry, and before installing the liner, sweep the pool bottom and remove any loose vermiculite or other debris so there is nothing on the bottom that will show up under the liner. Any divots can be filled, and raised lips can be smoothed. The smoother your vermiculite pool bottom is, the better your liner will look, so this is one part of the pool installation to take your time and do it right.
My wife and I contracted an excavator to dig our new pool. The excavator over dug a little too much in a couple of spots. Is this something that we should use gravel? If we use something like Crush-n-run or Limestone, do we compact with machine or just tamp? Thanks for any advice. Hi Chris, we would normally use a gravel, but crush-n-run stone dust would be better as it compacts better. Limestone could also be used. It can be just hand tamped in place and soaked thoroughly to help it settle.
Will a vermiculite pool base keep crawdads from burrowing new holes under the pool? We are going to have to pull up the liner due to current damage. We currently have lime dust covered by sand for the base. Hi Jennifer, never heard of that problem before, crawdads! I would pour the floor in concrete and then lay a Liner Guard pad over top of the concrete.
You could mix and pour yourself on-site with portland cement and sand, and a concrete mixer, or just order it by truck, their cheapest, probably mix. Stone dust is another option, tamped tightly, but perhaps crawdads may be able to burrow thru that too? Hello, My pool is 20 years old with a vermiculite floor. The current liner is 11 years old but in excellent shape. Recently, while walking in the shallow section I noticed a few areas where it seems the vermiculite has totally deteriorated and has left the feel on the toes of a very soft, spongy type sand.
Is it normal wear and just needs repairs at the next liner change. Gary, you could call it normal wear and tear, there are usually some spots that do this, most inground liner changes need some repair to the floor, it is possible that you are feeling a spot that was repaired on your liner change years ago, now failing. At your next liner change, any spots like that can be quickly repaired with new vermiculite and it is common to have a few spots like this.
What does that tell you? My bet is that this breach is probably going to play out to be a big nothingburger. Otherwise, something else would have already happened by now.
People are quick to play Monday Morning Quarterback, and pretend like they could do better if they were in charge. Reality is so nuanced and complicated. Without shifting blame or excusing failings, it is possible to understand how things like this keep happening. However, if what the WB says is true—AWS root credentials and no internal logging—then Legal took a huge bet and dodged a bullet, and I would consider them grossly negligent.
I still view the actions of Ubiquiti with some anger. Laws are in place to force people to take actions that go against the innate motivations of self-preservation and profit. If it was well-written, it will include allow flexibility to cover companies large and small for intrusions large and small, but the point of the legislation is to force companies to promptly and clearly inform the public if there is any risk of major loss.
From the details shared, there IS such a risk. The coy press release in my view was an attempt to shift blame to a third party for multiple Ubiquiti operational failures and an obfuscation of the true potential threat.
I love Ubiquiti gear — cheaper and more functional than competitors IMHO, but I hope that they are penalized for their inadequate response poor legal team decisions imho. Maybe this is coincidence, but I have a support case open with Ubiquiti now because the last 2 Unifi Controller releases are signed with an expired certificate.
It is especially odd because prior releases were signed correctly, sounds like something is broken in the build process. Possibly as a result of this breach? Please elaborate. Are you saying that Ubiquiti can initiate logins to customer controllers?
Again, please elaborate? In a salty one-way encryption situation, how exactly would they log in to my gear? Well, they had the signing keys for the firmware and access to the backend so if devices auto update they could have just pushed modified firmware that did anything. Did the company have a CISO prior to the breach?
I am curious what their security program was like… I do see they posted a CISO position on their careers page post-breach. That now appears to have been filled assumption, given the job post has been removed from the careers page.
Ubiquiti is a billion dollar company. To not have a solid security program is one thing very bad. There are still multi-billion dollar companies that have little-to-no security program, no one leading security, etc.
Publicly traded too. Absolutely crazy that there is no accountability. They probably had a security program and a chief security officer. Does this mean that all Ubiquiti devices need to be viewed as compromised? I have a Unifi cloud controller that is running in a VM and I naively connected it to the Ubiquity cloud login to use the app on my phone.
