Ask me how I know this....2) the hardware at ikea for cabinets (drawer pulls, etc) is not the best, and needs some patience and tweaking, but can give you a really, really cool look for a lot less than custom.  3) if and when someone tears through the outer laminate (plastic) layer on them, water will destroy them in no time (think under-sink leak)

But a few always stick in your mind as "educational moments" - I try to learn something new on every deal I am involved in.I had gotten into a MC accident, requiring surgery and a bit of downtime which also forced me to take time to think and reflect on a few things.

Galvanizing copper is a chemical impossibility.Projected lifespan of galvanized piping is typically projected at 60 years, but it can be less or more depending on the water quality of the source.Copper is generally projected at 80 years but same caveat.Lifespan of plastic is for all practical purposes, infinite. 

We have a first floor master and she's about to have knee surgery so that was a huge plus for them.

@Bryan Sowieja  well not a popular thought but its realistic.having owned a bunch of rentals in Mississippi we get some pretty large tenants in those areas.And special toilets are required along with reinforcing sub floor below.. and they can wreak havoc on plastic tub shower combos... can't comment on if you can exclude them. but if you rent to folks that you know are quite heavy no matter there physical type  IE professional athlete  power lifter.. cage fighter  WWF or whatever... you do have certain realities in the bathrooms that need to be addressedI have had more than one 400 lb plus tenant have the toilet give way on them during the act. 

By next weekend (wisdom teeth surgery this weekend!)

You see I've just recently been let go of my job because of a Surgery.

I'm not out to do brain surgery on a property like electrical work, plumbing or putting on a roof.  

Raising money really isn't rocket surgery if people have access to the right tools and resources.  

Is PEX the same thing as pvc; if so, I thought we couldn't mix copper with plastic?
