I’ll be replacing my water heater tomorrow most likely due to not staying on top of doing this routinely. Lesson learned

Smh, we’re actually just starting today. Stupid city hasn’t given me my permits yet.Update?
Gonna post before/afters lol
Replaced my water heater today. Took about six hours from start to finish. First one I’ve ever done, but it went off without a hitch 
My first time sweating pipes. Watched my coworker do it a bunch of times though

There was a plumber on youtube who said to do this every 2 years, but if it's been longer than 3 years you're better off not doing it. I'm not sure why, but it sounded legit.I’ll be replacing my water heater tomorrow most likely due to not staying on top of doing this routinely. Lesson learned
You’re still in Houston right? I can give you the number to my glass guy, I basically put his kids through college with all the gd smashed windows I’ve had from golf balls
Does anyone have experience working with a property management company? My property is in another state (FL) and I need help finding a tenant and then dealing with any problems that may arise.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I worked with Mynd for about 3 months and it was a total waste of $950
Try renters warehouse, they were pretty good but they wanted a full months rent which my unit is local to me so I knew I could find someone on my own fairly easily. You can also work with realtors near your unit, they have useful connections typically.
It depends on the door. If there’s pieces of removable trim along the face, whether vinyl or rubber, it’s possible to have it reglazed. Any local glass company should be able to come out and repair it for you. Some double pane doors have the glass is built into them though and are non serviceable. If this is the case, see if there are any stickers along the edges of the door and inner frame, they’ll usually have the manufacturer info along with the size of it.

My latest money suck which is relevant to the home owners thread 
Updates:
Decided that since Netflix is getting rid of pw sharing it was time to get a real Black Pearl ready to sail the seven seas
Brain has been updated for a personal cloud server mated to a htpc (which is basically only serving as a web portal) running plex for remote access to all TV’s in the house now. Any movie or show I want is a 5 minute or less dl away
Was able to sell my old JVC and upgrade to the native 4K VPL-VW Sony. I didn’t think it would be much of a difference but it is leaps and bounds brighter and better than the 56u jvc I had. The 600es retailed new for $19k in todays money, got it for $150 more than what I sold the jvc for which was older
Star ceiling mounts have been put in place, new King Boo neon which I think I like better, and the LCR’s that need to go into the wall along with new dark carpet then I’m taking a pause. I think the only other things I can really do is just swap out components for better/more expensive equip after that.
