My favorite so far was the broken toilet chain repaired with a surgical rubber glove tied from the pinky to the thumb, which caused the toilet to leak at 5 gallons per minute for days on end... yeah, wasn't too thrilled about that one!

A GFI w/o ground is not wired properly.The black wire goes to the GOLD screw,  The white wire to the SILVER screw,  and the green wire goes to the GREEN tab on the bottom.Technically:the white is the "neutral" wire and connects in the subpanel as a ground the black connects (some times via a switch aka an overhead light) to the subpanel to a circuit breaker - -black can also connect, unswitched from wall outlet to another outlet and then to the subpanel circuit breakerGROUND/GREEN is common to all outlets and is terminated to the subpanel case.

If this helps (I've had birds, including finches, canaries, a sun conure, a blue and gold macaw and currently have a rescued african grey), Eclectus tend to be less loud than other parrots (that sun conure was great for a hearing impaired person!)

Hi Jay -Your suggestion is a gold mine.  

Show up 3 days later , tractor with a 5 ft bush hog , dump trailer and small chain saw .

Yeah, the prices are cheaper in Baltimore, but that is fool's gold for most people.

There is a gold mine of information from respected names in the industry. 

Inventory is so tight now that I try and keep all that I buy since deals are so hard to come by in this market.The majority of wholesalers in South Florida, or at least all the lists that I am on, are nothing but daisy chain property traders.  

I cannot do an appraisal of said property without getting into the chained up property.  

Tom, I think you're sitting in a gold mine- good luck!
