This old house has a video on it, lots of sheet plastic, duct tape, rain suit, mask, goggles, big wetvac, fan and boxes to dispose of the waste.

Hopefully the crawlspace will air out, if not maybe a plastic vapor barrier over the soil will help.Good luck!

Plastic meters will be lower cost.

The inspection people came in and covered every window with plastic panes to reduce heat loss and drafts through the windows -- I spent a day unscrewing them last year when I was renovating the top apartment.

It may be more stain resistant in the lighter colors, but you can't put a hot pan right on it like you can granite since it's really just stone particles cast in plastic resin.

I have seen were the AC units are bolted down into concrete pads and copper water pipes replaced with plastic lines.

I just bought my first rental and they all have the default brown kitchen cabinets with the beige/tan plastic/formica countertops.

If not, then maybe a cheap little dog house sized plastic shed.

They have removed the appliances in the apartment and wrapped it in plastic.

Some drainage issues can be simple to fix, some drainage issues are absolutely impossible to fix... the best you can hope for in a worst-case scenario is management (Installing a french drain, a sump pump, and a dehumidifier.)An extreme solution will involve re-grading the yard (sometimes this is possible, sometimes not), or excavating the basement wall(s) and installing waterproof membranes (AKA: plastic sheets), then filling up with a PROPERLY CONSTRUCTED french drain system (Most contractors wouldn't know a correct french drain if it bit them in the ***.)Good luck.
