Do not throw or drop removed and use a 6-mil thick plastic sheeting to wrap it in and secure the plastic with duct tape.

Added an extra bedroom on the loft that was pretty huge: 3--> 4 bedrooms; still room to have a home theater and extra room for more cash flow.Also the light fixture in the kitchen looked like you were in an hospital surgery room... not very appealing when you enter in the house because the first thing you see... so put some modern can lights and also added a garage door opener (who wants one you operate manually anyway?)

I bought a scratch n dent refrigerator locally - brand new still has all the blue tape securing everything and the plastic wrap, just a couple of dents.

If you do the heating wire you may want to upgrade that section of pipe to plastic piping which won't attract as much cold as metal pipes.

I'm going to try to make that, although my wife may be having surgery that day, so it hinges on that.

The local inspectors here spot every defect and require them to be fixed (small leak stain on ceiling, tenant-destroyed drawer, plastic accordian door off its hinges, etc.) 

All we have to do is wrap in 4mil plastic and duct tape all seams.

Just last week I had a tenant complain about burnt plastic smell.

I think they were burning something plastic. 

Repiping the house to plastic pipes from the old iron ones?
