As well, if I take a bunch of raw steel, plastic, and copper that fetches $5k as raw material ... and turn into a car that has utility in the economy and fetches $20k ...

taking a drawer with you when you look at colors is a great idea.Also, check out the faux metal backsplash stuff they have a Lowes/Home Depot these days- 20'x20' squares of this plastic stuff, easy to install (glue it on) and really looks nice.

Anyway, the most important component of the system is the patch block which is sometimes a tan or black plastic box mounted to the back of the building from which the wires are distributed to different apartments.

To make matters worse, the window blinds (cheap plastic blinds that I believe were installed by the builder probably 15 years ago) are also very difficult to close, which makes it more difficult to deal with the windows.We met with the landlord today, and explained that last year we "lived with" the windows, but were fairly miserable struggling with opening and closing them during the hot summer months in Michigan.

Tell them they don't take plastic and listen to them get out of that one.Get a whoopie cushion and put it under a seat cushion in any public place for your friend to sit on.Kids at Halloween: The best was the old burning bag trick.

This would strengthen your conclusion, that the HML scenario brings a better return, and the MP scenario brings less risk, better cash-on-cash, less lost opportunity.I guess a good companion question would be what the MP/HML assumptions should be.

The windows need to be taken care of no matter what as some have panes that were replaced with plastic or have gaps between the frame and glass.

She didn't even have any damage, I was in the hospital and my car totalled (old suv with steel bumpers vs newer plastic car, lol).Note the insurance company didn't tell me they had to represent me if I got sued.

So he gives me this 1/2 hour sales pitch , and wraps it up with a quote of $ 3500 to line my tub with a plastic liner , " And we can be done in less than 4 hours"   Told the guy he was nuts , we are done , leave . then i had a guy reglaze the tub for $ 350 and it is just in the last year showing signs of wear  after 2 boys 9 and 12  played with toys in that tub for 10 years .for  $ 3500 i would have gutted the entire bathroom tub, toilet  , vanity , floor and walls and went all new .
