Chicken Wire?
Chicken Wire?
CANNABIS crops, electric trip-wires, bricked-up doors and even indoor chicken farms are just some of the horror renovations made by rogue tenants on Australian rental properties.
Insurance claims for malicious damage caused by tenants have risen 275 per cent to $3000 over the past five years, according to Adelaide-based insurance brokers Terri Scheer.
Drugs, veg and rock ‘n’roll
Carolyn Majda, from Terri Scheer says tenants turning their home into drug dens are a major cause of damage.
In one case tenants filled a room with water to house a hydroponic system to grow marijuana. In another rental-turned-drug den, the tenants set up an electric trip wire across the doorway, meaning the landlord or property manager risked death by electrocution if they entered the property.

Sometimes tenants try their hand at DIY. One home handyman bricked up the doorway to a room he didn’t use. “There wasn’t a room where there had been one previously,” said Ms Majda.
Other tenants tried to create a rural lifestyle in an inner-city apartment, filling in their sunken living room with dirt and planting a vegetable patch. To round out the menu they kept chooks in the kitchen – housed in make-shift coops created by ripping off the cupboard doors and replacing them with chicken wire.
Sometimes the police get involved. A Sydney woman faced court earlier this month for illegally subletting a room in the unit she rented for use as a cannabis farm.
She charged the druggies $2000 a month for use of the room. Police said they found a sophisticated hydroponic system with 150 cannabis plants, with a street value of about $400,000.

oh,and if your growing in a garage with an automatic door opener make sure you unplug it.
a mate of mine had a 2x2 meter growtent in his garage and some guys were going round his neighborhood with a heap of different remotes and seeing what doors they could open.The cops busted them but my mate unpluged his quicksmart.lol
not something you want to show your neighborhood.

Thats the problem here in NZ.You never know if the clone/seed/ounce you are getting is what they say it is and generally weed is either classified as either skunk/indoor/hydro or outdoor/bushweed.im fucked if i know if the 5 clones i got are really jackherer or not.
fortunately over the last 10 years or so alot more genetics have found there way here,making it alot easier to grow indoors than say 15 years ago when i started with horrid lanky nobud sativas.lol
i cut a trapdoor into the floor in my built in wardrobe, so i just disapper into my wardrobe, down the ladder and im in my growspace, my garage doors are double beam braced from the inside, so no access through those
so DIY internal access
damn dude thats like my dream world. A little secret paradise hidden beneath the warddrobe, reminds me on Narnia or some shit haha when those kids go in the wardrobe and enter a whole new world. I cant wait to get a house so I can do shit like that. props meng
