My contractor poured it while it was raining and then covered part of the patio with plastic sheeting, while allowing other parts not affected by rain to remain uncovered.

These regulations inlude things like using certified employees to wall off abatement areas with 2 ply plastic tents and monitor air contamination levels for 48 hours following abatement.

i am not into flipping, but even if i was, i'd still think that what you are doing is a major overkill. most people are cluless when it comes to anything that they can't see. what the TV shows on HGTV and you will see. the only thing they mention is what they hear on tv - granite, paint color, stainless, and travertine.you think they will know the difference between schluter kerdi/4mm plastic or hardibacker?

Broken plastics, the ball getting jammed somewhere, flippers not lined up right, etc.  

@Larry Fried - Given the high prices in SanFran, I actually have been researching buying property out of state.

I can see a cheap plastic material with built in quick connect fittings for plumbing/power being developed.

And one of my favorites, define "Equitable Interest":I could go on all night and ALL of this is basic real estate, I didn't even ask a math question, that would fry brain cells.

And you've got bigger fish to fry.  

The deck won't get a lot of sun because of the tree, but I am a little concerned about "plastic" decking still getting too hot.

Plug in any rate that you can imagine as your default rate and...you get the idea.That being said, I used plastic when I started.
