2. “"The appellants, however, did give such notice [of their interest in purchasing the interests of the other joint owners], thereby invoking the provisions of §§ 35-6-100 through -104. Appellants, nevertheless, failed to comply with the 30-day requirement of § 35-6-102 , and therefore, under the express provision of § 35-6-103 , the trial court properly proceeded according to its traditional practices and decreed that a public sale take place due to the fact that the property could not be partitioned in kind. The statutes in question are clear, and, by failing to comply with their express provisions, appellants have waived their rights thereunder. "”
