I'll buy fractional interests or disparate pieces or estate, even in litigation, knowing how to reassemble the paper pieces later.

I sanded them all until they were shiny, then reassembled it. 

Now I admit my workman did go in and fix the place up ,took them 10 days ( I don't even want to go into the condition these tenants left the apartment in...lets just say it took a carpenter, painter, plumber exterminator and hardwood floor guy to reassemble the apartment).

I have since reassembled my team of finance guys, they have more real estate investing experience, especially in properties that require rehab.

If we accept that hair-dying in the sink is as inevitable as death and taxes, then the kind of drainpipe+dye goop+stopper hair clog I'm describing is also inevitable (unless we go with popup drains without traditional lever-operated stopper systems, but no, that's not going to work for me).So when I took this drain apart to clean it out, the first thing that happened was that the chromed plastic cap on the stopper port in the back of the drain cracked when I reassembled the drain.
