interactions of the work between contractors (say paint fell on finished carpet or finished flooring); drywall work puts the electrical problem; furnance goes out as some dirt through the vent and fries the circuit. 

I agree with @Mark Fries, super interesting post.

Or taping plastic sheets up as a vapor barrier?

@Mark Fries that’s kinda what I’m thinking.

@Mark Fries that’s interesting.

@Mark Fries So the good news is that they agreed that I get the pump repaired and they would payed for it.

My husband compares it to an old lady who looks young because of plastic surgery. 

Why they needed to anchor things with huge screws and plastic screw holders anchored into the wall is beyond words.Quick question, do you charge by the hour or by each screw removed, prep and paint?

They could also get those plastic runners and cover the whole floor if they want to.

Looks like a nice little place.About the roofing, on the cheap/short term you could probably staple down plastic.
