If they are worried about smoke-which is temporary, they can put plastic film over the openings-same as some people do in the winter to keep the cold out. 

It's like having a general practitioner perform brain surgery instead of a brain surgeon.

Such as cement cast, plastic. 

Over the past year or so, he has done updates throughout...new kitchen w/ granite (stainless steel appliances still have protective plastic on them), bathrooms, flooring throughout, new deck out back, etc.

I’d love to change it to a 5-star if I could.”Then I start the process of trying to get it changed...which is somewhere above brain surgery but below putting someone on Mars in terms of difficulty level.

But assuming due to plastic components and its age, the tenants informed me today that for the last few uses the dishes are not as clean, and they also noticed there is now rust left on the silverwares.It is an old dishwasher, but is otherwise functional.

The reason brass assemblies are still holding on is that they control the sound of draining water better than plastics do, they are "quieter."

Part of being a PT is being very hands-on while working with patients as they recover from various injuries and surgeries.

If the pipes are not yet collapsed they will shoot epoxy in the lines creating a plastic system inside the cast iron.  

So wrapping them in duct tape is not my optimal solution.I am willing to get a hepa mask and suit up and attempt to do the work myself but I am a littel hesitant as I have not dealt with this before and not even sure if I am legally allowed to.It is an unfinished basement that is empty except for the boiler and washer/dryer so maybe if I put plastic and seal off the entrance to upstairs wet the asbestos and remove/double bag it it is doable.
