Things started to go down hill and they simply took off on the sixth month, leaving behind what ended up being 42 bags of garbage, rotting food in the fridge, cat litter pans full of...well, you can guess.I ended up "raking" up the oldest daughters room to clean it up and was glad I was wearing gloves since, as I got down to the last layer it consisted of used tampon containers simple tossed on the floor instead of in the garbage (sorry if this is too much information).They took the "important" stuff (all the plastic flowers) but left behind all the "unimportant" papers including bank statements and both previous leases (I learned they pulled the same trick on at least two other local landlords) and the new lease...so filing against them was easy since they kindly provided me with their new address where they could be served.They also left behind new clothes with tags on them and I tried a few of the blouses on; they fit and I made sure I was wearing one of them when we went to court and I won my judgement against them.Gail

Completely drywalled including ceilings not soft or hard panel.It was 3 bed 2 bath that I turned into 2 bed 2 bath to make an oversized master bathroom and living room.The master bathroom features a walkin jacuzzi tub and his /her sinks.The kitchen is granite with built in wine cooler, side by side fridge, etc that is included in the sale.I built a outdoor Florida sunroom that is ceramic floors and features a tiki bar.Master bedroom has patio door that I built which leads to cozy balcony in backyard that leads to hut tub with all plumbing and electric underground.Storage / work shed / laundry room has all new plumbing for washer and dryer.PART 2 OF POST WILL FOLLOW

I have a nice patio table and the glass shattered during a big storm.

I guess replacing the tub would be more like "plastic surgery" to play with the analogy a bit :)

The copper is being replaced with plastic ;)

Comps in the area are dicey since they are all small, older homes ('70-'71s) and some have not been upgraded like ours (most do not have central heat/air, patios, etc).We'd just like to go on to the next deal at this point and want to do it ourselves so we need the cash.

I’m a big plastic fan, PEX working pressure for ¾ is about 150 psig it doesn’t freeze so it is lower than ¾ copper tubing about 700 psig, 6 of one half dozen of the other, I wouldn’t waste my time from a freezing standpoint.

Yet we have a property in ON Canada, where the town replaced all sewer pipes to the home with plastic no charge (but I am sure it will appear buried in the property taxes one day).

The mold investigator however, may create a scope that tells them to carefully place the mold contaminated debris into plastic bags and seal the bags before moving them out of the work area.

The problem is that sometimes you get the $4,000 bill for digging up the sewer line you cannot get unblocked to find the plastic cap wedged in it and the $1,200 for new carpet in the apartment that had sewage spill all over it from the backed up sewer.
