Добавлен 24 апр 2020
After #OurFebruaryWedding in 2019, we closed out the year by purchasing a beautiful 1865 house in downtown Rutland, Vermont. This building came with grandeur and charm as well as many projects that need tackling.
Our building is divided into one commercial unit and five residential units; we live in one of the units. As first time home owners and first time land lords, we are having so much fun. We want to document this journey and share our experience.
There is constant work to be done around the property including but not limited to renovations, restorations, and occasional unexpected repairs. And not to mention, the business side of owning a rental property.

We transitioned from beige walls and trim to white trim and light gray walls (Drizzle by Behr). We also swapped out beige outlets and switches to new clean white ones.

Watch Before Buying a Coin Counter!

Especially with the digital coin counter. CoinTubes by Budgetizer: amzn.to/2JMqfun Digital ...

With beautiful tall ceilings, grand windows, and thick trim, we wanted the paint in our living room to make a statement. As our trim was already painted an off white, we decided to brighten it with Ultra White Semi-gloss from Behr. We used Beau Green from Benjamin Moore (2054-20). Beau Green is typically purchased in Benjamin Moore's Aura, but we went with their Ben paint in Eggshell. For prep ...

Coin Laundry Income for Rental Property
Просмотров 2,1 тыс.4 года назад
Each month we collect the quarters out of our coin laundry in our rental property. We have 6 total units. One of them is commercial and does not use the machines. We live in one of the units so we use the machines but access it with the master keys, thus not adding in quarters. This means that our monthly income from the coin laundry machines accounts for usage from four rental units. We use gl...

Haunted Mansion (Halloween Monster Bash Projection)
I use that same plastic tubes and roll hundreds of dollars a week at home but you have to kinda shake it as you're dumping them in there. Once you get the hang of it, it does pretty good
I WAS AFRAID OF THIS, DARN IT... I NEED to put a ceiling fan in and this is in the way of that. It came with the house. Currently sitting in an 83-90F house since all four ACs are busted, and don't have the money to replace them. Ceiling fans are cheaper and as long as active air flow is happening, I can stand the heat and also open windows to push air in and out then trap night time cooler air in the house. I was hoping it was a screw and twist method. SIGH... Hopefully I can remove it without too much damage.
Why would you put an affiliate link for the exact electric powered coin counter you said was not worth buying...??
Funny
Do you have a separate electric meter to power the washer and dryer?
We have a "house" panel/meter for things such as our furnace, hot water heater, washer/dryer, common space and outdoor lighting etc.
Buy the Nadex 707
I have the one that only has one row and it works fine. The the coin wrappers out and your life will be much better. Mine also never really jammed, only had issues a couple of times when foreign coins were in there. Also mine has a downward slope so if you pour them from high to low not really any issues. If you want to be able to dump a bucket of coins in then you probably have to spend some coin and get a more expensive machine.
Looks beautiful! I’m going to paint my living room in Beau Green! What white did you end up going with?
Cool, I was thinking about maybe converting a vacant backyard building into a laundry room since there are no washers on site and wondering if it may help bring in some income
As far as profitability it will really depend on amount of use you get out of it. For a small residential property it will pretty much just be enough to offset some costs such as water, electric and costs of machines including maintenance.
The socket is what is patented. Every light fixture using that socket type back then had to have the patent and pay a license to Edison until it expired
What paint did you use and what sheen?
What brand coin washer and dryer do you have ?
The ones in the video were by Sears. They were in the building for over 20 years. We recently retired them and went with whirlpool.
Thanks. I’ve seen enough. Will continue the search for one that works.
I'm glad I didn't buy this machine thanks for the review
What happened to the uploads? Hope all is well.
Don't the manual tubes have a flat edge so you can slide them off the table, rather than picking them up one handful at a time?
8:08 cracked me up.
If you are looking for a professional machine for sorting, counting and packing/rolling coins for anything more serious than a hobbie, don't watch this video. If you really want to tell people to think twice about buying something, you really shouldn't generalize it down to your opinion of one specific product/machine. This would be a much better video if there were multiple types/brands/models demonstrated other than just one crappy machine. You buy a crappy machine, it's not going to work well for you! There are FAR better machines out there. Buy a decent machine and you won't have these problems. I run a coin-op machine business and use a Glory CP-9 that I found in good used condition for sale on Mercari. I most likely paid less for it than he did for that crappy machine (which isn't intended for anything more than putting your pocket change into), and I can roll $500 in quarters (2,000 quarters) in less than 5 minutes. No joke. Here's a video of the exact machine I bought, being demonstrated by the guy I bought it from. It was because of this video he posted that convinced me to buy this machine from him. ruclips.net/video/_cuRQ-bj7qM/видео.html
OK.. where to start.. the machine is a SORTER/counter/roller while the plastic tubes are not. You were working with a pile of only quarters. The machine will shine if you have mixed coins. You picked up the coins by hand for the tubes but dumped them from a bucket for the machine. Hardly a fair comparison. You complained about the time to pick up the coins while wearing gloves. Don't do that. Slide the cardboard to the edge of the table and "sweep" the coins into the tubes. Then "tip" the tubes to dump out the excess coins.
Why did you put the quarters on a mat? I put mine in a coffee can or in a container and just scoop them out and fill the tube.
this video is life in a nutshell
What will a Property Manager usually keep for coin-op?
Chemical name
I have chandelier business in Delhi pls tech me
Omg
You need to start this video over.
you should try the machine without the paper rolls in the coin collector.
That kind of defeats the purpose of buying it, doesn't it
@@oldguysmusic2929 You just put the paper tubes on the same way he did for the plastic funnels. The machine sorts and counts, but the tubes do not.
What brand of washer & dryer did you use?
Sorry for the late response. Didn’t see this. The brand of the ones in the video were by Sears. They were in the building for over 20 years. We recently retired them and went with whirlpool.
Just bought one. It's jaming several times a roll. Like yours. Then overfilling. Wish hubby's worked as well as other videos on youtube with this same coin sorter.
I suggest you slow down to see what is causing it to jam.
@@oldguysmusic2929 Thanks but that wasn't it. It's goes at it's own speed. We followed instructions. We even tried a few. Several days of heck with it. Returned and bought another. No problem at all.
The electric coin counter seems to only to sort 20 dollars of quarters at time. User also has to move the sleeves out for the next one to be filled. This is something that the counter ought to be able to do for itself. The coins seem to fly everywhere in addition. A high maintenance counter as far as I can tell. Its noisy as hell too. Have you found a coin counter that is well made? My coin counting is much smaller piles of coin. But as a sight impaired person it would nice to find something that is reliable and good for home use.
You can get a coin counter that moves automatically, but it will cost a lot more than the unit featured.
Tip: You can check for silver (or Canadian) quarters while you make your piles of ten. It takes just a quick glance.
I often come across Canadian quarters since Vermont borders Canada. I've never came across 1964 or older quarters but also don't take the time to shuffle through it all. I have however started separating 2020 quarters with bats.
You'll find that as they get bigger you'll want to wrap them from the bottom up. Wrapping them from the top down creates pockets in the wrap that lets the snow work on the burlap and it will eventually slip apart. Wrapping from the bottom up covers the gap.
I lived in brattleboro for 7 months and the winter was beautiful!!
It Took like 1-2 hours and in 15 pieces to unjam it then put in back in 1 piece again it finally works again after that. Guess what year of the penny was stuck in the machine I'll tell you it was 2020 lol it's the same one as in the video plus I had to make some adjustments because there was extra plastic that was a pain but it works fine no more jams and coins getting stuck.
Go figure right 😂
@@caetanocluster7002 I know after all that I'd quit but what I found on the inside was what looks like unfinished molding of the plastic. After I cut the excess plastic off. It worked almost like one of those coinstar machines without the 11.9+% fee's of course lol
Bar keepers friend works amazing!
This is common in asian cultures when kids get older they get a floor but there own unit
Nicely shot. It's been a while since we lived in range of Rutland, so this was a nice bit of nostalgia.
Even the naughty ones 😂😂😂😂
Hello my name is Dennis. Today it was 82 degrees in South Florida.. and I freaking hate it. I've been to Rutland five times in the past 2 years. I'd Be living there already If it wasn't for the lockdowns. Little bit of a bummer with the chick situation. I'm getting used to being alone anyway😛 funniest part about Vermont. My tan skin. My Don Johnson cars and wardrobe .My Florida accent I stick out like a sore thumb I catch people pointing sometimes🤣 with a puzzled look 🤣
@Paul Cysz yup
@Paul Cysz it's like 81 right now Breezy. I'm drinking Captain Morgan and Coke. I just watched a drift boat pull in. Killer fishing day. I need a buddy Paul. I'll look you up when I come on up. I have only one friend up there a guy named Jimmy. He s kinda cool all he does is talk about work though🙄. I saw you guys had a lot of snow last week. Freaking Uber jealous.
My ceiling fan is mounted right at the peak of our vaulted ceilings. Do you have any ideas for installing a medallion in an “elbow”?
A C if you have an obstruction take a look into medallions that are cut in half. You can then glue the 2 pieces together on the ceiling. I have not tried this method and I would imagine its a bit more tricky because you want to make sure it does not slip apart while the glue settles.
The first building use to be the recreation center when I was a kid lived a block from there on prospect st
Hey Rick, the building on Washington or the building across from library Center/Court. I heard the one on center used to be a rec Center and the one on Washington was a dental/medical office.
