Hi Roger

I didn't say a word about because it takes a router table to use this type of bit,,,,but if you have a table you have it made and the bit will last you a long time I have many of his bits....

If you make a extra fence for your table it will make the job easy and you will save money on the next repair job you need to do....

like the one below

But do it the same way, run it by the bit then flip the MDF over and run it by one more time then take it the table saw and rip it to size,, I would make some but not rip them to size just put them in the corner so you have them ready to go...I think I would use a 3/4" x 5 3/4" wide blank MDF to start with then you would have two 8ft ones on hand if not more...the 4' x 8' MDF's are hard to store and move around...
Cutting the MDF at 5 3/4" wide should come out right when you rip the MDF 4' x 8' down...so you can move it around, that stuff is just Hvy..

Roger,

You have some rough tenants! I can understand a bit of paint, but what are they doing to damage the trim so badly? For rentals around here, normal wear and tear (dented baseboard and scuffed door trim) is painted and pershaps filled if necessary. Do you think you are making it too nice for your tenants if they are the type to tear it up anyway?

I realize you are charging them for this, but you are losing time to have another tenant in place.

I was thinking the same thing -
I did make-ready work for a while years ago -- and unless there was an actual hole that needed patching/filling a coat of paint was IT.
And I have lived in apartments where I wasn't sure they had done THAT much.

Sounds to me like you either just love messin with wood (don't we all or we wouldn't be on here) or you are one DARN GOOD landlord :-)

Well, I do love messin' with wood...

I guess I probably misrepresented why they were being replaced. It isn't necessarily the tenants trashing the base and trim. Being self-employed my rentals are basically my retirement plan. Every time I change tenants (and most of them are great) I usually end up adding wood floors, tile, building additions, changing floor plans, etc. I like to take a couple of months between each tenant to add value to the house then, if it becomes necessary, the house is always up-to-date and has great resale value.
I just wondered about the base and trim because whenever I do this it seems those are one of the main "little things" I'm always replacing.
Great idea on the extra fence and having some stored in the corner - thanks!
If I actually find a corner in my shop I'll let you know
