Just read an article in my local "Landlord Times" paper about construction projects (and rehabs) built between 2000 and 2010 about the use of yellow brass fittings as connectors to plastic piping (PEX pipe).According to Jerry Stein, a senior partner in a Seattle law firm, when water comes into contact with this fitting a process is started called "dezincification".

You can't have any holes in the screens, you can't have more than 1 person per 50 sq ft of bedroom space, no flexible pipe from the sink drain and no plastic water supply to any faucets, GFIs in basements and garages and within like 10' of the sink, no flexible pipe to hot water tank or furnace, no nail holes or non-fire rated foam crack filler in the garage wall between the garage and the house because fire can spread faster from the garage to the house... 

You use implements that shape the tilled dirt into a flattened hill, cover it with plastic sheeting, add fertilizer herbicides and pesticides, add drip irrigation lines, and punch holes for the plants.  

Having a second full bath upstairs IS a definite big plus and the bathrooms look very nice for that price range, maybe even a bit over done and that's from someone who HATES plastic tub surrounds!

Plastic tub surrounds are cheaper.
