[05:29] schestowitz[TR3] you said it yourself [05:29] schestowitz[TR3] there was a GOOD reason it was not converted into a unit [05:29] IsambardPrince Then when he fixed the pipe, he got MAYO. [05:29] schestowitz[TR3] maybe some leak or something [05:29] IsambardPrince The person who did not pay rent totaling $9,000.

[05:30] IsambardPrince After fixing the pipe, which cost I don't know how much. [05:30] IsambardPrince Digging down 5 feet into the subfloor. [05:30] IsambardPrince and replacing a length of pipe about 6-7 feet long? [05:30] IsambardPrince What's that cost? [05:30] schestowitz[TR3] 10k?
