It is asphalt that is "Modified" with a plastic or rubber to make it more flexible, and then reinforced with a fabric. 

I saw at least four drug needles in the place, and the vandal / drug addict stole the fiberglass and plastic flex ducts from the attic. 

What kind of finish work would that get you....Paper and plastic????

To amp the effectiveness of your gun ownership, you might consider using your handy camera to take a picture of your shotgun and having it transposed onto a small slab of corrugated plastic, perhaps with a caption which reads "This house is protected by...".

The ceiling only needs to be protected within the first couple feet of where the shelving is so your basic painters plastic or paper will work just fine.

In addition to the great responses so far, I'd like to add this one: Polybutylene pipes (plastic tube plumbing that are prone to bursting) Most notably used in the 1990s but some pre-1990s homes may have it I believe.  

Also, if the wallpaper is from the 90's and has a plastic top layer, it's a real pain to get off because the steamer won't soften it unless it's really hot. 

They even have laws on how thick the plastic drop-cloths and trash bags have to be.

You can wrap them in plastic if you need to take a break over night but it will be so worth it in the long run when those walls look amazing. 

He said he would tell me that number and sign off the contract if I agree on a side deal to buy his pool furniture for $20,000 which consist of several plastic chairs you can get at Walmart for $9.99.I really wish something can be done about it.
