We just bought a dishwasher that still has the plastic on it- it would have been over $800 at Home Depot/Lowe's but we paid $125.

How about yard/patio/outside space? 

@Shannon Ludlow if you plan on coming it’s very crowded inside so headed out back in covered patio area at the end of the bar.

I co-own 2 single family homes and 1 patio home in Sedona, AZ with my mom.

I can't tell you that it lasts longer (it might), but in many cases it will save you time on labor, because it installs faster.One of my first properties ten years ago my contractor installed cheap shut off valves; I remember he pointed out the savings, becaue we had a total of 6 and the steel valves were like $10 extra each over the plastic.

Be sure to check out the back patio of the museum and look west for the best photo/view in Denver of the skyline and mountains.For a more raw arts experience, check out Denver Graffiti Tour, a 2-hour waking tour of the best street art in the RiNo Art District.

And, are you sure you weren't reading total SF, which would include porches, patios, etc?

I give my tenants patio plants/flowers in the spring, just to say hi.  

Good point.When we had a contractor quote us on a new outside patio door (for our FL home) he informed us that it had to be 'hurricane proof'.

The sill is made so they can't set items on it and the window trim is plastic.
