Liquid nails really worked well on this fix. Actually, it was a liquid nails specifically for cement. Haven’t had a problem since.

Some GREAT tips in this post. I especially like the idea of using liquid nails to fix the countertop. I have used it in a lot of projects and I can testify that it will hold up for a long time.

Good luck with this investment.

Quite creative using liquid nails to fix a concrete countertop. Are you sure it will hold up?

Great find on the W/D!

Yeah, the phone calls have stopped for the time being.

I do need to go in and replace and test all the smoke detectors. The lawyer I talked to recommended going in every 6 months to change and test the detectors regardless of whether they need it or not.

A) It gives you piece of mind
B) It gives you an excuse to go in and walk through the house.

Nice! So far so good – don’t worry you always have to go through an adjustment period – once the renters get adjusted to the house youll stop getting phone calls for awhile.

Way to go on the washer and dryer. It’s amazing what you can find at those little hole in the wall stores.

Could you have used regular cement to bond the counter top back together?

Congrats on your seemingly successful rental.
