Since it was my personal home, I sealed the coin in plastic and re-sealed it under the threshold.

Is abatement with plastic wrap sufficient? 

For example, most inspectors inspecting crawl spaces will recommend laying down plastic sheets as a moisture barrier to keep the area dry.

I hear that doctors don't like the guys on craigslist that offer plastic surgery in their basement.

Didn't read all of it.When you buy carpet you can get a plastic vapor barrier put in underneath to try and protect the floor.You can turn off the lights and take a black light to show all the urine stains.

Hello BP family, I am looking to make an offer on the following property:Condominium 2 bedrooms2 bath1,204 sq ft patio with storage, near pool, wood floors, washer/dryer, fridge includedseller wants $1,850 per month and wants to sell for $335,000I checked the comps using Zillow and it looks like a comparable unit that is a 2/2 that has all upgrades and is asking 313k, the owner said this unit just sold for 310kall the upgrades: dark wood floors throughout, granite counters, stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, pedestal lighting, upgraded trim, counter back splash, new cabinets and fixtures, floating shelves and a new HVAC unit.Whereas the unit I want to make an offer on has none of these things, but does have a larger square footage (1,204 sf compared to 952 sf).

I just couldn't see holding it when that $200 could explode any minute when i know all the units need to be reroofed soon, the parking lot redone, the patio fences replaced, etc.

They are cheap, thin plastic that filter the light but don't totally block it.   

And, the next time you are having a drink at sunset on the outside patio at the Hau Tree Lanai, order a vodka tonic for me! 

We actually use plastic bubble insulation like the packing material.
